Shelby Montana

Elder Branham arrived in his new area on June 19, 2012, Shelby MT.  He said it was a very long travel to get there, 13 hours.  He got to spend the day with his first  companion Elder Akina and travel with him on the transfer bus.  He got to spend time at the Mission Home with President Gardner who went home June 28th.  Pres. Gardner was a great Mission President and Elder Branham respected and loved him very much, it is sad to see his time come to an end.  Elder Branhm was made a District Leader and we are proud of him for this accomplishment.  We received a letter from President Gardner telling us about Ryan's new calling and how he knew Ryan would do a great job.  Ryan has amazing leadership qualities that will continue to help him be successful in his mission as well as in life.  His new companion is Josh White and he is farely new, 3 months out.  Shelby is 8 miles from the Canada Border and the weather is alot cooler than here in SC.  He plans to visit Glaicer National Park while in that area.  He has already met someone who knew his Aunt Aurelia from College when she went to Ricks some 30 years ago....small world.  We are happy and excited about the growth and work that Elder Branham is doing.  The one year mark is not far away!
