Sometimes missionary work is accomplished by etertaining the children so their mother can visit with your companion without having to worry about what they may be up to in the next room. This was true this past week as Nicholas, 2 yrs, and young brother Liam, 1 yr, accepted a ride in the cart, pulled by Elder Chapman on the riding lawnmower. We did this three different days when the mother had no one to leave the children with. They were pretty excited about it the first day, riding up and down the lane and around the large grounds where we live. But on the 3rd day, no more excitement. As you can see, little Liam has decided to take a snooze. They were good boys and we got on well. Nicholas (in the red shirt) especially liked it when we would get the sack of birdseed and he could help fill the bird feeders in the backyard. We will miss them and their mother. They were only here in Bedford for one week and returned home to Fredericksburg on Tuesday.
