Christmas

We didn't receive an email from Scott this week. We got something even better--a phone call on Christmas day! It was great to hear Scott's voice! We were all able to talk to him. He loves what he's doing and where he's serving. He bore his testimony and shared his favorite mission story.

We appreciate the Kirchmann family feeding the Farmington Elders a delicious prime rib lunch and allowing them to use their phone to call home!

Surprise Visitor

What are the odds that one of your high school seminary teachers is from the same small town where you are serving? Sister Cook went home (to Farmington, MN) for Christmas. She tried to go to church on Sunday and surprise Scott, but due to hazardous weather conditions, the Stake President had cancelled church. Sister Cook called Scott's Bishop, got Scott's phone number and treated Scott and his companion, Elder Hadfield to lunch at Subway.


Sister Cook had also brought a few treats from home: popcorn balls and Scott's baseball mitt.

Does he look happy, or what? Thanks, Sister Cook!

First Transfer

After 12 wonderful weeks serving in Dinky Town, Scott has been transferred to Farmington, MN. He is looking forward to serving in this new area! One of the Farmington ward missionaries, Larry Kirchmann, is a former member of our Las Palmas Ward Bishopric in Las Vegas. It's a small world!

His new mode of transportation, a car!

Elder Hadfield, Scott's new companion.

Scott describes him as "really cool!" He also said they have a lot in common. Great!
