Yield tallied as harvest nears completion Before the snow of earlier this week, farmers had some dry days for harvest and they took advantage with combines and trucks rumbling all night in some fields. It was a wet, rainy spring and planting was delayed. Summer rains caused low yields and crop damage for some along the Grand River and its tributaries. Farmers finally got a break in October, which received below average rainfall with 2.66 inches reported at the local Farm Service Agency.

Missionaries receive their assignment from LDS headquarters and are sent only to countries where governments allow the church to operate. Missionaries do not request their area of assignment and do not know beforehand whether they will be required to learn a language. Prior to going to their assigned area, missionaries spend a short period of time at one of 15 missionary training centers throughout the world. There they learn how to teach the gospel in an orderly and clear way and, if necessary, they begin to learn the language of the people they will be teaching.
