Elder Jordan Ferg

February 24,2010

Elder Ferguson and his companion, Elder Anderson along with Elder Smith and Elder Faber put on a musical Fireside on February 21st. I know Jordan played his violin and they sang hymns. He wrote, "We sang and performed the first lesson from Preach My Gospel. We did hymns: Nearer My God To Thee/Guide Me To Thee, I Am A Child of God, Love at Home, There is a Green Hill Far Away. We sang "How Can I Be? and The Things I Know." They also performed Joseph Smith's First Prayer, A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief, and I Need Thee Every Hour. They were hoping to have a lot of non members there. Only one non member came named Evelyn. Elder Ferguson feels it was "her first big step to coming to church, this really helped, I think." They had quite a few members attend.

Other than the musical fireside, there were two baptisms in Fairview. That is part of his district. It was a mother and daughter "who both really want to come to church...they also have a friend, who took the lessons with them, but due to current circumstances of her life has to wait for a little while to be baptized. She is determined to get baptized and the whole branch is supporting her. It's awesome."

"I haven't spoken in Peace River at all, but I have spoken in High Level and in High Prairie. It has been quite an experience working here in Peace River and High Prairie. I'm going to be leaving here this week. I don't now where I'm going yet, but I'll let you know ASAP.
