Ups and Downs

At our initial training we were told that there would be ups and downs during our service.  Well we have already experienced both.  Let me start with the up...today at church Innocent was presented to received the Aaronic Priesthood and be ordained a Priest.  Since he will be meeting with the high priests, during today's group meeting Bishop Kruger came in to have Innocent ordained.  He asked Innocent who he would like to ordain him and he said Elder Romney.  That came as a surprise but what a blessing it was to confer the Aaronic Priesthood upon Innocent and ordain him a Priest.  I believe the last time I was able to do that was for Jason.

Now for the down...after serving for about six weeks we started with 4 families and we are now down to two.  Barbara mentioned the young couple who were out on parole from the State Prison.  Well Hailey is now back in prison and the Bishop has been unable to reach Rudy.  During our Missionary Correlation meeting this morning with the Bishop he told us that we are no longer to visit with the King family.  Some things have changed in that family and he is not sure if they will be staying in the ward.  We figured something was up since Patrick has not been returning our calls and Amy did not show up to work at the DI on Friday.  Barbara discovered that when she went to the DI trying to visit with her.

I am sure that the Bishop will be assigning us two more families shortly.  There is a lot of work to be done in the ward and he needs our help.
