Service Project On The Sheep Farm!!

Excerpt from Elder Organ's March 18, 2013 previously posted letter:

"We all slept over because Saturday morning we all woke up and went to do a service project. Their service project was going to this lady's farm on the outskirts of Kalispell and help in the big all-day event of SHEEP SHEERING!

It was sooooo awesome!

We got to man handle the sheep and take their "coats" off which protect their wool, then we would take them to the sheep sheerer who would shave the sheep's wool off so fast, it was so cool to see how it all works. Then we would take the sheep from him and put on another smaller coat to protect the next years growth of wool.

I hope that all makes sense.

I will get pictures sent home and then they will get up on the blog so it will all make more sense and ya'll can see me in action! It was such a blast and felt so great to help this amazing woman out with her sheep!"

Here they are!!!

On the farm ya'll!

YES! Lips to Lips! Ha ha!

I had a blast!

This is Dudley the Ram!

Elder Aaron John Organ was born in January 1994 at home to his two loving parents Terry and Renae Organ. He was the 6th child and 4th son, also the youngest by 6 years. He has been a member of the LDS (Mormon) Church his entire life and always had the dream and goal of serving a full-time 24 month mission.

After graduating high school in 2012 he left Gilbert, AZ to attend Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. While there he submitted his mission papers. On October 31st he received and opened his mission call surrounded by friends and his older sister Rachelle in Provo, Utah. Between three laptops and six cell phones, his best friends who were at BYU-Idaho, his parents who were in Gilbert, Arizona, his oldest sister and her family, one of his older brothers and his family, and a handful of other friends were all able to watch and listen as he opened his call and read it aloud. In the dorm building common room there were more than 60 friends lending their love and support.

He was called to serve a 24 month mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Montana, Billings Mission, English speaking. He was very surprised that it was a stateside, English speaking assignment but immediately stated his joy and excitement!

He was set apart as a missionary on February 1, 2013 with his parents present. His report date is February 6, 2013 at the Provo, Utah MTC (Missionary Training Center)!
