The Very Beginning

Elder Sanderson's first day of his mission started January 7th in the evening as he was set apart as a missionary for service mission at our stake center in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.



















Monday morning he faithfully attended his first District Council via Zoom. He picked and led the opening song, and introduced himself to the other service missionaries. Throughout the week he found ways to serve. He helped clean the church.















He helped with outside work. Each day he has devoted time, with our family, as he studies the Book of Mormon, Preach My Gospel, and the missionary handbook. On Wednesday night he joined a Preach My Gospel study group with the other service missionaries.



















He attended a baptism. We drove down to Bowling Green and picked up his brand new suit. While we were down there we purchased fleece for his service project making blankets for foster children. On Sunday he gave his very first talk. He spoke about faith and the example Nephi set. We look forward to this upcoming week where we plan to make further inroads on volunteer opportunities at the local food pantry and the Glasgow museum.

    Hi my sweet Elder Sanderson ❤️
    I am so very proud of you!
    I did not realize all of the hard work that you have already accomplished on your mission so far.
    You are amazing.
    You are such a wonderful example to your family. Also a great example to the young people in your ward.
    Liam, I mean Elder Sanderson I love you so very much. I am so proud of your accomplishments.
    I want you to know that I am studying the Book of Mormon too. It is my favorite scripture to study.
    I watched your talk in sacrament meeting! You were great! 👍 I loved your talk. You did such a good job. 👏
    I miss you. I love you.❤️
    I can’t wait to see you.
    Oh and by the way, you looked very handsome in your new suit. It suits you perfectly 😉
    I love you so much my sweet grandson. You are awesome.

Another Blanket Bites the Dust Week 3

Image
 This last week Elder Sanderson continued to attend his District Council and study group for Preach My Gospel. He made another blanket for foster children, and helped clean the church. He also worked outside helping carry heavy bricks to help create a patio sitting area for those who need to rest when walking through our woods. We are especially excited this week because he has heard back from the Glasgow Museum who are thrilled that he wants to volunteer. We will be filling out the paperwork for that this week!

Week Four Help Grampy Some More

 This last week Elder Sanderson was very busy. He, of course, attended District Council, his Preach My Gospel Study Group, and did daily scripture study. He also helped clean the church again. This week it was especially appreciated as only one person from this week's rotation was able to make it, and as a result they were EXTRA glad to have a hard working Elder come help clean. He continues to work on creating a sitting area in our woods for those who cannot walk the entire distance. He also made another blanket.  He was able to go the museum and Glasgow and get all the paperwork filled out for him to start doing volunteer work there. Last, but certainly not least, he helped get his great-grandpa to medical appointments and go grocery shopping.
