The End of the Tour

Hey everyone!

Departing Missionaries at the Mission Home, November 2015

I'm sorry this is long overdue, but this entry represents the capstone of my time in the Nebraska Omaha Mission; some final words and pics for y'all.  Many thanks to those of you who came around to this blog; I wish y'all Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year.

LAST TRANSMISSION

Hey, everyone!

Well, this is it; the ending of one time and the beginning of another.  These past two years have been by turns epic, triumphant, tragic, and everything in between.  I'm forever grateful for your many prayers in our behalf.

One of our long-time investigators is finally set for November 20.  Even though I won't be there to physically see it, I'm grateful and happy for him and his wonderful family.  

God be with you all till we meet again and beyond.  I love God, I love this Gospel, and I love you all.

Take care,

Elder McMurray  

P.S.  Here is a collection of photos of my final area, Marshall, Minnesota.  Enjoy!

Hey everyone!

We had a great week; more people are coming to Church, we're getting more effective at streamlining our will with the Lord's, and our investigators are getting closer and closer to baptism and confirmation.

We're looking forward to what this coming week holds in store and we hope that y'all do too!  

Ortonville, Minnesota - 90 miles north of the Marshall Branch Meetinghouse.  The northernmost point in the biggest area in the whole mission.

Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated and gratefully received and we extend ours in return.
