Hartford Connecticut:
About the Mission
Missionary work for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Connecticut began in 1832, with few converts. In 1838, Wilford Woodruff, future Church President, preached in his hometown of Farmington, Connecticut. He arranged to have a meeting with his family of nonmembers. "Filled with the power of God," Woodruff later wrote, "I stood in the midst of the congregation and preached unto the people in great plainness the gospel of Jesus Christ." Afterward, Woodruff baptized his father, stepmother, sister, and three others. A small congregation was organized in Farmington thereafter.
Church membership in Connecticut in 1930 was 198.
Connecticut's first meetinghouse was completed in Hartford in 1952.

Bike Mission?
This has been a question of great importance to Dal, he loves riding and even built a bike, “Thunder Bike”, over the last two months. The Vehicle Coordinator for the Connecticut Hartford Mission had this to say “Riding your bicycle will give you good exercise as you do your duty in serving the Lord.” (Letter from the Mission dated March 19, 2008). Now if they had included: “Eat peanut butter and pizza weekly for superior physical, emotional and spiritual strength”, he would be walking on air.

Click Here to read the information sent to Dallin about the mission area. It’s quite interesting. He will be knee deep in American History (P-Day?) which is also one of his great loves.

YEAH!!! I am impressed...when you say you are going to do something you really do it quick! I am so excited for Dallin. It sounds like it is going to be wonderful and how awesome that he happens to just love riding a bike! Please keep us posted on when his farewell is!
This is a very cute scrappy layout. How did you put his picture on there? Very cool.
You forgot to put on your list "make cutie cute party invites for computer challenged relatives".
Love the post! Sweet Dal, can't believe how fast he's grown up.
I can't believe how "missionary" he looks. He's supposed to be little Dallin looking slightly rumpled. When did he get old enough to go on his mission?
Thanks for this :) I will quit pestering you at church, and the store, and wherever I see you....
