...we spotted this!
Elder Shawn Walsh brought some ties. To District meeting? Yup! He's heading home next week and he bought 300 new on his mission. Because he won't have room in his suitcase for everything, he's letting some of them go "for a great price." That's not like money changers in the temple, is it?We just love this mild-mannered, witty elder. He's got three more baptisms set for Sunday in our Bay Shore Ward.
Good-bye Elder ...
Elder Tevita Stevens will leave us next week. He's been here two years and has served valiantly...now he'll go home to California, then on to the University of Utah to play football on a scholarship. He had his choice of BYU or U of U. We're willing to drive north from our home in Highland to see this fine young man play!

"Souls and Goals"
"Souls and Goals" is an activity that focuses on finding, teaching and baptizing. The chart on this chalk board lists dates across the top and the names of people who have committed to baptism on those dates.
There is a "Prayer Box" on the right side near the bottom where names of those investigators who need extra help are placed. All the district missionaries who want to are asked to pray for these prospective members.
The names of the three areas on Long Island where this district works are shown at the bottom right - Bay Shore, Terryville, and Riverhead. These young sisters and elders are so devoted!

300 Ties? He must have worn most of them only a couple times.
District meetings seem so energizing and inspirational.
Thanks for sharing.
When I was living in Japan, my son Joel was serving a mission in Texas. I bought matching ties at the "100 Yen Store" (dollar) and mailed them to him. It must have been an impressive sight to see an entire district or zone in the SAME tie.
Elder Stevens,
Just thought I'd confirm your decision to play for the Utes. I prayed about it and yes...you chose the right school.
Matt
