November continued with the busy pace I had set in August: meetings with Elders, men, pre-marital, discipline in eating/exercise and other administrative things. Enjoyed a report from one of our missionaries and church wide fellowships in this month. Officiated Theoden and Katie Wedel’s wedding. Voted and watched another candidate take the presidency. Hosted Joe Braden for our church’s Bible Conference on Loving Relationships in the Church. Preached at Dale Baker’s ordination in Kansas City. Watched my first KState football game at K-State. Continued preaching through Mark 12. Celebrated Thanksgiving. Watched with joy as our congregation met budget on the last week of this month. Devoured the book Because He Loves Me. We met our Thanksgiving offering goal as a church, too – which will greatly help one of our missionaries. As November ended finished preaching on Mark 12.
