Elder Jared

As of March 25th, Jared has been out 10 months! The last few months have been a little frustrating for him, he has suffered with constant headaches. After many tests, we still don't know what caused the headaches. He went to a Dr. Beard who is a member in the Highlands Ward where he is serving in Columbia, MO. Dr. Beard has called us a few times and even arranged for a conference call with Jared. After determining that there was not a major problem causing the headaches, he decided to treat him with some medication, it seems to be helping and Jared is feeling better. Dr. Beard called us last week and said that when Jared walked into his office he thought, "now this is the real Elder Purcell", because Jared was laughing and smiling. We are so proud of him for continuing to work hard even if he wasn't feeling so good. Here are some pictures Jared has sent recently.


I got this as a picture text on Jan. 23 from the Schramm family. They said that Jared was their after dinner entertainment.

In front of the "Mizz U" tiger.

With his district in February.

Being domestic by cooking a pizza.

Hunting possum? Kind of funny missionary work.

I received this picture in an email....A new mission car? No, it's Gary's (an investigator Jared is teaching) Porsche. Jared wished he could drive it and not just sit in it.

Taking some time out from being a "fisher of men" to do some real fishing at a pond in someone's back yard.

These are the fish that Jared and Elder Hansen caught.
