"HIGH ON A MOUNTAIN TOP"
(ok I admit it's only high on a metal beam... smile)

Every once in a while we get pictures from our Gavin who is serving as a missionary in Upstate New York! I love these because they not only show him as a missionary but as a Gunther boy! Climbing up on a beam for a picture and then jumping off is such a thing our boys and I admit also our daughter would do. They all have such a zest for and a genuine love for life! Gavin has been transferred to and place called Potsdam, New York. If you go to google, click maps, and type it in you'll be able to see how close it is to the Canadian border. He just arrived there not too long ago from Watertown where he served for several months as a District Leader.

In Potsdam he is serving as a Zone leader. Not sure how many districts are in a zone, but he gets to serve with 16 other missionaries in that area and absolutely loves it! I'm happy that he's up near the Canadian border where it's really really cold ... coming into Spring ... instead of in the dead of Winter!




If you can't tell by the picture, Gavin loves being a missionary and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as he can! He also loves to sing and had the good fortune this past several weeks to serve with a companion who sings as well. They got the idea to deliver singing 'hymnograms', and have had some great experiences doing that! I asked him one week in an email if he stills sings in the shower every morning! His answer? A resounding, "Yes!"

Does this make the mom happy? Way! (smile) I absolutely love a boy who sings and climbs and jumps! And one who loves the Lord with all his heart, might, mind, and strength!
