Elder Gordon is being transfered to his last area before he returns home. We went out to diner with him and his companion Elder Driggs. Elder Gordon is a seasoned veteran of carrying the Cross of Jesus. He radiates a love for the people of the branch, the city and the country. He's humble yet strong. He's bold but teachable. He kept our diner appointment to 1 hour (like the handbook says) though it could have gone longer. I imagine having diner with an american family could be tempting to string it out and talk of home. He's a great example of what a missionary should be a few months before he goes home. He's the kind of Elder you want to be your sons trainer.
Elder Driggs is green but teachable. He also radiates a spirit of confidence yet he's humble. You can tell when you first meet him that he came on a mission for the right reason. We're lucky to him serving in Burgos.
It was fun to have diner with them. I'm thankful for the chance to get to know these two missionaries.
