Life in Belleville

Henry has been in Belleville, Illinois for two transfers. It is just east of St. Louis Missouri. He has had two different companions while there. He is doing great and having a great mission.

Elder Murdoch out tracting with Henry.
Life is good in Belleville. Henry & his companion share this cool house. They have a lot of room for just the two of them. Henry has put up a punching bag in the basement and gets his exercise that way. Belleville is a small historic town in Illinois. They have had some good success there.

This is the street Henry lives on in Belleville Illinois.

They use the mass transit system most of the time to get around in Belleville.

Out tracting in a neighborhood and a circus was going on...so they got to ride elephants. How random.

Snow in Illinois

What's with the sunglasses?

Is this some new look that people in Illinois are wearing? Or is it just someone with no TV to watch and nothing to do in the evening?

Alan's river baptism

This is the St. Francis River. Henry baptized a new member named Alan in this river. Henry was very close to Alan and really happy for him to be baptized. It was a wonderful experience for them both. Even though it was really cold.

Henry's Desk

Look how organized he is! Note the picture of Lucky and the Jeep and the Book of Mormons. You can tell that he is working hard.
