Elder James Harrison has been loving his Independence Missouri Mission and has recently reached his 18 month mark! (Needless to say we are very excited for his return in July! AHHHHHH!!) James is loving every bit of his Mission and we are so proud of him. He faithfully writes his family members every week,and shares his love of the Gospel through every word (while making us laugh with his sense of humor). He is currently serving as a District Leader and has been for a while. Elder Harrison has had so many cool experiences, but I will share one that maybe WASN'T so spectacular for us, especially for our poor Missionary!
In late June,He and his companion were riding their bikes down a hill and James flipped head over handlebars after slipping on some loose gravel. Good thing he was wearing a helmet! His radial head in his left elbow cracked (OUCH) and had to wear a sling supporting his left arm while his right elbow and hand were neatly bandaged. James still had a smile on his face, and continued in the Lord's work.
In his email explaining the incident, he says "I'm doing fine, and it's my left arm that has the radial (or rotor?) head fracture (its a small crack). I feel a little disappointed to be the first in the family to break a bone, but I guess that's part of life. I'm having a good time getting used to the sling. My companion finds it entertaining when I attempt to get my church suit on!"
Hahaha leave it to James to give us some comic relief :]

We have a wall dedicated to James where it has his mission, location of transfers, and postcards and pictures that he send home! We love our missionary!
