Hey guys!
This week went good. Elder Miller and I
are getting along very good and we are having a lot of fun. We did quite a bit
of service this week for several different members. We cleaned out a garage on
day and the other day we moved a bunch of furniture out of an abandoned house for
someone. We had a lesson with Joe and his baptism will be coming up soon. His
date is set for the 20th; all he needs to do is keep the word of wisdom. We
visited with a couple of less active members this week.
We had a ward party at the McNees' this
and it was good to continue to get to know all of the members a little better.
One cool thing there was a kid in the ward opened his mission call here and he is
going to the Las Vegas mission in about a month. It reminded me a lot of when I
opened my mission call. P day was really cool this week.
We had a multi zone p-day at president
Francis' house in Brighton. We went and played football, kickball, had a
barbecue, and just visited with some of the other missionaries. I finally met
sister Nield from Smithfield and I guess here grandparents know grandpa Bart
and grandma Iris. Also, I learned that sister Davis is from Cache Valley as
well so it's pretty cool to talk with some people who are from the same area!
That's pretty much the exciting parts of
the week.
Love Elder Daugs

"Arthur" ~ August 17, 2015
Hello everyone! This week was good! So just like the usual
I'll just give you the highlights. We did a lot of service this week again. We moved
two people out of the ward this week and this on lady from the Batavia Branch that
lives in Albion called us to do service and that was a little different. All
she really wanted us to do was her chores. We weeded, washed windows, and
cleaned her garage so not really what missionaries are meant for but at least
we still helped. We had interviews with President this week and I always love
being around President. We actually got to go over a paragraph of my
patriarchal blessing that I had questions about and I learned a lot from him!
The Spencerport Elders had a baptism this Saturday for a guy
named Kurt but I had to be on exchanges in Batavia that day so I missed it unfortunately.
I heard it was great though and now we have one more member to the ward.
Exchanges we good too and I liked being in Batavia because it's a little bigger
than Brockport. They have a semi pro baseball team kind of like the bees I
guess and the stadium is right behind the Elders apartment so we got to watch
the fireworks from the living room couch out the back doors.
We still can't get any of our investigators to come to church
mainly because they all live like 20 miles away and it's hard to convince them
to drive all of the way there especially when there are twenty or thirty other
churches they could go to that aren't as far. We had a bible study class this
week and that was good as usual. We also did the usual service at the other churches.
We did he clothing shelf at the Episcopal, the food pantry at the episcopal,
and served dinner at the Baptist church with the Methodist members... So kind
of all mixed in here.
Everyone in the community knows me now since I've been here
so long. Even the Methodist pastor came right up to me and gave me a hug
yesterday so it's a little weird. Too bad none of he people want to read from
the Book of Mormon or anything. Yesterday was elder Ahola’s birthday and he
turned 24. We went over to the Workman’s last night for it and there are some
sisters staying with them for medical reasons for the past week and she needed
to be by Sister Workman while she heals but they went back to their area today.
So we just had a little get together thing for him.
Anyways that's pretty much it!
Love you!
Elder Ahola's Birthday

August 12th, 2014~ Letter from Mission President
Brother and Sister Daugs,
We wanted to let you know that your son, Elder Addison Daugs, arrived safely in Rochester today. He has spent the evening at the mission home with us and nine other Sisters and Elders. We have enjoyed getting to know him and feeling his wonderful spirit.
Tomorrow we will take him to the Hill Cumorah, the Smith Farm, and the Sacred Grove. Then he will meet his new companion and get settled in. We are grateful for his desire to serve our Heavenly Father and His children and know that his life will be blessed and his testimony strengthened throughout the next two years.
Thank you for your love and support of him. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
President and Sister Arthur Francis
