Spreading the Gospel

Over the past 9 months, Jared has served as ward mission leader and has gotten to work with some amazing missionaries and has gotten to be part of 

Bryan Graham had a special story of how he met the Elders. One day, Elders Hutchinson and Jarvis were 'whiteboarding,' or approaching people with a specific question, at Lambs, and Bryan walked up to them to talk with them. He had watched the Saratov Approach with a friend and wanted to learn more. 

As we got to know Bryan, teaching lessons with Elders Bryan, Hutchinson, and Jarvis, we got to know his big heart and his desire to serve. We got to serve alongside him moving one of Claire's classmates, and Bryan found opportunities to serve with the missionaries many times. It was a joyous day when he was baptized!

We first met Kaylee Joseph and her family after they had come to a Halloween activity for the Wilsonville Ward. It was fun getting to know Kaylee and her 3 girls as they began coming to church. After a few months with Elders Hutchinson, Jarvis, and Bryan, Genevieve decided she would get baptized and Isabelle and Kaylee followed suit. It was a wonderful reminder of the blessings of baptism and the blessings the gospel is in our life.
