March 1

Back in Salt Lake City

MISSION UPDATE

During the months of October, November, December, January and February I served in the Bishop's Storehouse, Cannery, Family History Center and the Temple. I managed to referee a few Ice Hockey games in the evenings or Saturdays. It was great to be on the ice. The week before Christmas my family took a trip to Salt Lake City to see the temple lights. I took them to see my friends at the Family and Church History Headquarters Mission. President Peterson shook my hand and looked me in the eyes. He invited me to return to the mission. My parents were ready to leave me there, but I was unsure. During the month of January I went to the Boise Temple and was able to perform the Baptisms for my grandma's ancestors I had found through Family History Research. My grandma encouraged me to return to Salt Lake to continue the work I had started. I went to the temple fasting and praying to know what I should do. The answer I received was very clear. I called President Peterson that day and told him I was ready to return. A week later they called and asked me to arrive March 1 to continue my service in the Family and Church History Headquarters Mission. I was so excited but also very scared. The next couple weeks were very hard as temptations kept me wondering if I could really do this.  I know I can! ~ ELDER FARNSWORTH

This week I went to the Bishop's Storehouse on Monday and Tuesday. I went to the temple Wednesday morning. It was a good experience for me to be able to go do temple work for my ancestors that I found doing family history research in Salt Lake City. I love the feeling when I go to the temple I am so grateful for the temple to be close to my home. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I am so grateful for my family to be so kind to me. I also shot a pheasant on Thanksgiving morning. It tasted amazing thanks to my grandpa's smoker. I don't think I know very many missionaries that can go hunting on their mission. I love my family and I am so grateful for them and all that they do. I had an amazing week.

I had another great week in Boise Idaho. I went to the Family History Center on Monday and I helped a few more people find their ancestors. They were extremely grateful for me to help them do this. Next on the list is the Bishop's Storehouse. I went there both days for the full time. As usual I helped people out to their cars. I am very grateful for this opportunity to help those people. I went to the cannery on Wednesday. The temple dedication was a great opportunity to see this temple be rededicated because it is my home temple. I love the temple and I am going to the temple today.

This past week I had a good time serving at the Family History Center.  On Monday, I helped someone find their ancestors that they couldn't find on their own. They were so happy that I helped them find what they were looking for. This made me feel really good and I'm looking forward to helping so many more people find their ancestors. I also served at the bishops storehouse Tuesday and Thursday. I had a fun time working with someone different than the normal person I work with. I worked at the cannery on Wednesday and had a fun time working the machine that sends the the cans from the pallets to the the line so they can be filled with food. I have never been there before. Last but not least, Friday, I got my wisdom teeth out. I have read my scriptures and prayed every morning.

Boise Idaho Temple Open House

I had a good time helping with the Temple Open House.  I directed traffic and helped people know where to go.
