Elder Sanderson Goes on a Mission

This last week was a really over the top and busy week for Elder Sanderson. As he continued to serve cleaning the church, attending a museum meeting, and helping with the construction of a sitting area...he also spent the night up in New Albany as he attended District Conference and Zone Conference.  District Conference was held at Sister and Brother Daetwyler's home in Louisville. Here they learned together, did a service activity, and celebrated the birthdays of two service missionaries. Elder Sanderson enjoyed the chance to socialize and see (in person) the other service missionaries.   That night Elder Sanderson and his amazing companion (aka Matt) spent the night at a hotel and per his special request...it had a swimming pool.  The next morning Elder Sanderson enjoyed breakfast before heading over to Zone Conference. This meeting is combined with the proselytizing missionaries.  One thing that made this especially fun was that Elder Sanderson got to see sev...

 This last week (Feb 5-11), Elder Sanderson stayed truly busy with is service activities. He participated in district council and his Preach My Gospel study group.   He carried loads of gravel as he continues to work on building a sitting place in our woods.(Here is a pic of the sitting area he is working on...featuring Ian's dog Ammon). He helped man the front desk and archiving.  He did his first volunteer shift at the Museum of the Barrens in Glasgow, KY. He did decide, after getting a tour of the storage areas, not to venture there again, after an employee popped out and profoundly startled him.  He assisted in cleaning the chapel.  Last, but not least he drove down to Nashville and did Baptisms for the dead.  This trip was very special as Elder Sanderson performed the ordinance for the first time, baptizing his father. This next week you can all look forward to hearing about his adventures in Louisville as he attends Zone Conference. 

 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.
