Hello friends and family!
Elder Goold has had a crazy week, so this is Mama G recapping his week with the pics he sent and the report he gave over the phone. I apologize in advance for any old person goofiness that I may not be able to contain myself from including. 😜
First off, MICHAEL GOT BAPTIZED!!! A member of the ward performed the baptism, but it was an amazing experience for both Elder Goold and Elder Dahl to be a part of! Michael was excited and ready for this step in his eternal progression! ❤️
The program template was created by yours truly, but was finished up beautifully by my favorite missionary!
His companion, Elder Dahl, heads home on Thursday, so his district held a “funeral” for him. Apparently it’s a light-hearted, albeit a bit somewhat macabre tradition held across many missions throughout the world.
Here is Elder Goold, Elder Dahl, President and Sister Botchway, plus two unidentified district leaders at district council this week. I’m sure it was amazing, because they always are!
He and his comp got to spend a little time in the Family History Center this week!
He went on exchanges with the zone leaders this week, and apparently stopped at Dutch Bro’s for something cold along the way!

Oh yeah, how can I forget the coyotes in the church parking lot? 😱
Elder Dahl “dying” {by going home very alive}, means that transfers are this week and Elder Goold will at least be getting a new companion in the next day or two! So changes are a coming! 😁
This is probably about where he’d share a spiritual thought, so here’s a quote I came across in my studies recently:
“An essential part of this missionary effort is for individual members to become beacon-light examples wherever we live. We cannot be in camouflage. Our Christlike example of kindness, righteousness, happiness, and sincere love for all peoples can create not only a guiding beacon light for them but also an understanding that there is a safe harbor in the ordinances of salvation and exaltation of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Quentin L Cook, “Safely Gathered Home,” April 2023
I guess that’s about it. This is where he tells you all how much he loves y’all and offers to pray for you! I will reiterate that, as his mother, I also love you all and are grateful for the love and support you give to our sweet Elder! Have an amazing week and don’t forget to send Elder Goold lots of emails and letters. ❤️
Love,
Mama G. (For Elder Goold)
