Elder Griffitts 6 month Anniversary!

Well, Elder Griffitts made it to the 6 month mark on his mission and we finally got some pictures! Here he is with his most current companion. He is now serving in East Las Vegas in a very less fortunate area. It is a humbling experience for him and we were so glad to talk to him on Mother's Day. He sounds great and is learning a lot about himself, others and preaching the Gospel. We are so thankful for this experience and we are proud of him!"Warning, if you unlawfully enter these premises you will be shot" is what the sign says. I wonder if they actually knocked on this door.

Elder Griffitts' first baptism. This man has pancreatic cancer and has only been given a few months to live. I am sure that he is thankful to have been baptized.


The Las Vegas Temple. They get to go to the Temple once every transfer.


This is right by his apartment in East Las Vegas. He says that he can see the Boulder Station Casino from his apartment. They are NOT allowed to go on the Las Vegas strip though. Good thing!

How fun! It was great to see pictures of Tyler. I love the one about getting shot! Some people are so weird. He looks great! Yeah for 6 months!

Maybe I should put that sign on my door. :) I'm so glad you got to talk to him!! I love that kid. He's doing a great job! I can't believe it has already been 6 months, that went by fast.
