Elder Werner and Elder Goodman are happy to be serving together. Elder Goodman has 6 weeks on Elder Werner, beginning their missions last May 21st and July 2nd. So they are both new missionaries in the last 6 months. Their enthusiasm for the work is palatable! We are excited to work with both of them and already love Elder Werner, here for his third transfer and Elder Goodman, from Centerville, VA, was transferred from Brooklyn. We learned that Elder Goodman will be 25 years old in November and on his 24th birthday, his father passed away after a struggle with cancer. It's been a difficult year for him, but he loves his family and their support has given him strength.
Our outstanding District Leader, Elder Imlay is a "new Dad" training brand new Elder Froerer, from South Jordan, UT.. This new elder is the oldest of 3 sons, and when he was asked why he was serving a mission, he answered," I've been so blessed it's time to pay back." We thought of our son Jeff, and how important his mission was to our whole family, especially his two younger brothers. Like Jeff, Elder Froerer is here serving the Lord and setting an important example for his younger brothers. He has a great attitude and a warm smile! He will do well. Elder Imlay asked our district to bring family pictures for a sharing and getting to know you activity. It was really memorable to hear about each elder and sister's family. We have a much better understanding of where each is from and what helps their world go round!
