A 3-point shootin', golfin' comp, less students, its much easier training only one greenie at a time, and Pres. King's last transfer

This week Bryon asked E McGregor to tell us about his new greenie -   his name, where’s he from, about his family & what he likes to do when he’s not being a missionary.  We also told him about a wedding over the weekend and one coming up.


Hello all!

New comp: Elder Barrett, from Everett, Washington. However, he grew up in Mesa, Arizona. Pretty cool! His dad's a convert, and his mom was born into the church. He's got one older brother and one younger brother, and it turns out he's the first in his immediate family to serve a mission. Pretty cool. Turns out he's also a killer 3-point shooter (yesterday the library was closed because of memorial day, so we couldn't email. So we played basketball instead), and he was on the golf team at his high school. His best round of golf was a 74. And I'm pretty sure I couldn't break 100 on a good day...

And yeah, things are a little bit slower here in the summer because there's not as many students. However, those that are here do have more time than they did during the spring. So that's nice.

So it sounds like things are just peachy back at home. Was it Shane Shoemaker that got married? Because we both went to GBHS at the same time (although he graduated sooner, obviously). But that's really exciting. And pretty exciting about Justin and Allie as well!

Well, this is President King's last transfer here in the mission (which I'm sure he's mentioned in the mission emails), and it'll be interesting to have a new mission president and see what changes happen as a result.

So training is pretty great! It's a lot easier to train just one person (instead of two at once), and Elder Barrett is off to a great start.

Our investigators are moving right along. We've been working with Robb who's told us he's got a desire to be baptized but isn't sure. So we're trying to help him to get to where he is sure.

Well, sorry again for the shorter email, but everything's going well here! Love you all very much, and It's great to hear from y'all every week!

Lots of love,

Elder McGregor

P.S. Thanks, Mom, for the update on the pants =]


I notice the weather in Athens is in the 90s all week this week.  I hope those summer pants get there soon!
