{ this was going to be the first that he would preform, well, it looked like it was anyways.}
He has had several others but would get a transfer just before it was to happen. ...we thought for sure that he would be around for this one.
But at the last minute he was transfered to another State. A missionary in Hamilton MT. was left without a companion....some kind of emergency...So Mason was sent there to serve with the Elder who was left alone.
He was disappointed of course....but totally understood and so happy that the Zone Leaders were able to take care of the Baptism. Mason said that they have a shortage of missionaries in their mission...So the Zone leaders are going to take care of all of Cody.
In Mason's words: "I was really sad to go. But I guess the Lord needs me in Hamilton for now. Well, I have only been here for a couple of days. So far I love Hamilton because it is one of the prettiest places in the mission. And everyone was jealous because I was coming here. So I love it so far. Yesterday got to meet some of the members and they seem like they are great people and members. So I can't wait until I start to work in this area."
-Mason with the Potts- From Cody
-Mason with Brother Richards- Cody area
{Something sweet- I don't know if it's because of Mason's size...or just that people love him. But quite often in pictures....the one standing next to him...always seems to have him in what I like to call a brotherly hug....see top picture and below. I think it's sweet how they always tuck him under their arm.}
{Mother's Note- I hope in this area he gets to stay for the baptism...just being a Mom}
