Serving in the South: Autumn called me for Christmas. Is there anything more precious than a grandchild? I don't think so.

Autumn called me for Christmas. Is there anything more precious than a grandchild? I don't think so.

She wanted to tell me that she missed me reading the Christmas story to her on Christmas Eve. I missed it too. It was wonderful to talk to her and to all my kids on Christmas Day. Now back to focusing on the mission. Our mission has a goal of having a "White Christmas" for the month of December by baptizing 42 this month. We are at 36. We need a Christmas miracle.

It would be fun, but Greg and family are moving to Atlanta, GA in April.

Tough not seeing those little grandchildren, isn't it? But, what a great experience to enjoy the birth of our Savior in the mission field. We loved that feeling!

Welcome Ya'll

Thank you for visiting my blog and reading about my mission here in Louisiana. I serve in the New Orleans Regional Employment Center in Slidell. On a daily basis I work to help register job seekers that come into our center, both members and non-members,on the church's website www.ldsjobs.org, then try to assist them in the job search with encouragement and by helping them to improve their self image, their skills with interview, resumes, application, etc. I do this, in part, by teaching two career workshops a month. I very much enjoy this part of my calling. I love these people and delight with every job placement. Our center services 24 stakes in five states. I have been assigned to work with four of those stakes registering and training leaders. I love rubbing shoulders with these wonderful Stake Presidents, Bishops,ward and stake employment specialists in Memphis TN, Alexandria LA, Tallahassee FL, Jackson MS. The church has taken a big interest in the employment area and certainly it is paramount in today’s world. Sister Goodin and I are two of the first six single senior sisters in the church to be sent to serve in employment. We also teach the 12-13 year old Sunday School class. In addition, and one of the things I love most about my mission, is that even though single senior sisters are no longer called to proselyte we are able to go out weekly to teach (and learn) with the young proselytizing sisters.I am loving the experience and adventure of it all. I appreciate being able to serve the Lord in this area and hope I have made a small contribution. Thank you for your visit and for your comments.
