First Duck Hunt

Well, I finally went out on my first duck hunt this week. On wednesday, I headed north with friend of mine in an effort to cream the ducks. But wouldn't you know it...I didn't hit a single duck, instead, I nailed 4 geese, with one double (when you hit to birds in one session). It was great. so I thought I would share a few images of a successful goose hunt, that started as a duck hunt. The second picture is of me, getting ready to skin my first goose. We cooked them up and made BBQ goose sandwiches. They were great, thanks to Lee for finding a great recipe.

great weekend

Over that last little while, I've had the chance to visit with a family that was investigating the church. They are a really neat family of 5. These are the type of investigators missionary should really be praying to meet. They came into contact with the church because a member of the ward who lives by them was willing to take a little time, talk about their church life, and offer greatly need service. It was really an example of some just acting Christ-like to their neighbors. That Family will always be great examples to me. Well, they decided to meet with the missionaries, and quickly accepted the truths of the gospel. Because of similar ages, Lee and I were asked to get involved and help them out a church. I even had the great opportunity to sit down with them during one of the discussion to just answer some of her questions. they asked the good questions too. From Polygamy, to Blacks and Priesthood, to temple services, and 3 hours more. It was fun and educational for all of us. Last night, they got baptized. I was blessed with the chance to give a talk on the Holy Ghost (which I think was a very well written and presented discussion of the roles of the Holy ghost in our lives.) I was then asked to confirm this new brother today in sacrament. It's been a long time since I preformed the ordinance, and it was a great honor. I thank our Father in Heaven for the great opportunity we have to possess the truth of the gospel. I'm grateful for the Priesthood and the blessing it is.
