Dad's Update

Unfortunately, we have not gotten a weekly email from Chance in a while and for that he apologizes.  It is easier for him to communicate on a weekly basis through Google Hangouts.  We are encouraging him to write though so that you hear updates on his mission from him rather than us.

Chance continues to be in Karratha (Northwestern coast).  This is his fourth transfer there and he is happy to continue there as he loves the location as well as the people that he has met there.  He continues with his companion that he has had for 3 transfers now.  He is happy and excited to continue to do the work there.

He had a good birthday, but as with most holidays it was hard to be away from family.  He is being called the old man in the mission as he is now 20 when most of the others will go home at 19.  Chance is on the downhill slope now having passed the year mark of his mission in mid June.

The work is going good.  Chance and his companion are doing a lot of service and working with the youth.  They have one person that has committed to baptism and they are looking forward to that.  Their teaching pool of investigators is growing.  According to Chance, it is slow going and often frustrating, but their hard work is starting to bare a bit of fruit.

Chance is having a lot of fun serving the Lord and is learning a lot.  He wants you to know that he loves and misses you all.

Here are some of the most recent pictures from Chance.
