Dear Family and Friends,

Wow, this week has been crazy! Elder Worthen and I spent a relaxed and boring P Day in Gettysburg and then went back to Miller last week.

by the Missouri River in Pierre

On Tuesday night we drove over to Pierre and spent the night with the Zone Leaders Elder Thatcher and Elder Dibble. We had a fun night with them and the next day I went with Elder Thatcher and worked in Pierre. We had a good time together. For lunch we went to Pizza Ranch which is the best buffet I have ever had!! Deliciousness. At 5 we said goodbye to Elder Worthen and Elder Dibble for the last time:( They had to drive to Rapid City and eventually to Bismarck so Elder Worthen could go home and Elder Dibble could go to Minot for his last transfer. I will miss both of them dearly! Elder Thatcher and I helped out at a food pantry for an hour which was fun and then we had dinner at a member's house. We then played a round of Frisbee golf with him and it was way fun! The next day Elder Thatcher and I went out and worked again in Pierre while we waited for the new Elders to get there. Friday morning we went to the church and just before District Meeting my son and the new Zone Leader Elder Bell got there!

 

Elder Griffeth my son!

I saw my son Elder Griffeth for the first time and he's a good-lookin' Elder! He must have gotten it from his non-existent mother;) But he is 195 pounds and way jacked! We had a decent District Meeting that I prepared about humility, diligence, and patience. There was a lot of great participation from everyone! Elder Griffeth then drove us to Walmart (I am still blackdotted) and then to Gettysburg to stay for the week.  Wow, he sure is a champ. He is one of the most consecrated, mature, loving missionaries I've ever met and he just got out in the field! Sometimes I feel like he is training me! We have been working very hard in Gettysburg these past few days and things will pick up sooner or later! If they don't pick up while I am here and we are just planting some seeds, things will definitely get going sometime after I'm gone! I love my Father in Heaven and I can tell that he has put me in this position for a reason. He has a Magnificent plan for each of us!!

I love you all and I hope you are having as great of a time as I am!:)

Love,

Elder Adair
