Serving another week in NJ

This week Luke did his email in the form of scripture.  It was so clever!  He made it through Thursday in his email following this format.  Here is some of what he wrote:

An account of Elder Childs and his dealings with God's children in and around Woodbridge, New Jersey. Throughout this week, Elder Childs received council, preached the word of God, and sought to find Joy in this strange land. About 2023 A.D.

Chapter 1

Elder Childs attends a Zone Conference, catches up with Elders he served by, eats at Chick fil A, has a lesson cancel, and ends the day by meeting with Doug. About 2023 A.D.

1 And it came to pass that the day had come in which the disciples of Jesus Christ in New Jersey would gather together for a conference

2 And behold, Elder Childs reconnected with Elders Davies, Pack, and Johns 

3 And they received council from the president, and did feel of the Spirit 

4 And it came to pass that after the words of President Rolfe were spoken, there was a great feast and many of the Elders did devour what was given to then

5 After the conference, the Elders journeyed back into the strange area from wherest they traveled from and labor in

6 And it came to pass that Elder Childs and Elder Church received a call from the nearby Elders, they needed recruitment at a Chick Fil A establishment in which they were feasting yet again

7 And it came to pass that Elder Childs and Elder Church traveled toward the establishment and did partake of the feast

8 And behold, the time was now one where they needed to journey to meet with one of God's children named Jose. 

9 And it came to pass, upon arrival, that Jose was not home, nor was his mom willing to let us leave a card

10 Elder Childs and Elder Church traveled back from wherest they came and did knock on some doors to share the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ 

11 And it came to pass that their efforts were not fruitful, but was good to open their mouths to declare the joy of Christ

12 And now behold, they went forth towards the tabernacle and met with leadership and did smell the breath of a king and did tell about their labors in the vineyard

So fun!  I love that he got to see some of his buds at zone conference.  This week he also got to go on splits with Elder McKendrick and Elder Cragun.  They are spanish elders but Luke had the best time with them.  Luke also learned that he loves frisbee golf.  He skipped some meals with his comp to get some playing time in.  They had several lessons this week and Luke is loving his mission. So proud of our boy! It is so hard to have him gone but he is doing exactly what he is meant to be doing.
