Hello y'all! We've had a pretty hot, humid, and so forth
week this week. It's rained at least once every day. I woke up Saturday
night to a huge rain and thunderstorm. It was pretty cool, and I was trying to
keep my eyes open so I could see the lightning, but it was impossible.
We did
some more moving on Tuesday. We went and helped a YSA move out of his
apartment, until we had to go so the Sagers could pick us up and go help another YSA move in.
After that we went to the Out Of The Garden warehouse and Elder Skinner and I
got to load pallets onto a truck. We are sort of part of the regular team there
on Tuesdays and everyone who works there knows us and they're having us do many
different jobs around the warehouse. It's a blast.
We helped a priest in the ward prepare for a missionary experience this week. He has a speech counselor
that he has become friends with and he asked her if he could
"practice" the lessons on her. She agreed, and he's really nervous,
so we went over there on Wednesday and helped him out. It was pretty fun doing
role plays with someone other than a missionary.
Thursday was zone conference.
Three zones were there this time, so a lot of missionaries I knew were there. I
got to catch up with Elder Murray, Elder Hulet, Elder Buffaloe, Sister Flaherty,
and Sister Beal. It was a good zone conference. We mainly focused on planning,
which was good because planning is something that I need to work on. At the
conference, the departing missionaries gave their departing testimonies. There are a lot of
missionaries that are leaving the mission. I'll really miss Elder Pottle, he's
been a really good zone leader. We both
came into the Greensboro zone at the same time, and we've been in the same district the whole time.
He's the only missionary that was in the district when I came into the area. Man,
we've been here in Greensboro for a very long time, six months is a long time.
Well, after the conference we caught a ride home with the Sagers and then had
dinner with the Smiths, and they prepared fried pufferfish for us. Man, that
fish was soooo good. No doubt, the best fish I have ever had on my mission.
They prepared a lot too, so by the end of the night, I thought I was going to
explode!
Well, anyway, we talked to this guy this week named Kevin Henry.
We've seen and taught him before, but it never went anywhere. We just decided
to drop by this Saturday to see if he was there. We caught him packing up for college
actually. He's going to Virginia Tech to play football. So if you see a player
on Virginia Tech named Henry next year, I know that guy😉.
So yesterday I got up in church and bore my testimony, which is something I
haven't done since September, when I got up in my home ward and sobbed about
how I was going to miss my home ward and yadayadayada. Well, considering this
was probably my last chance at bearing my testimony in the Summerfield Ward, I
thought I might as well.
We were able to teach the Goins again twice this week. Things are really starting to progress. They said they would come to church
next Sunday, which would be great, because then in my whole six months of
Summerfield I will be able to bring someone to church. They are getting pretty
close to baptism and I'm excited for them.
Well, today has been a pretty busy
day. This morning we got up and went and served pancakes and sausage at the
ward's pancake breakfast. It was pretty fun and the food was delicious. That was
probably the first time I've had pancakes for breakfast in almost 9 months! So
that was great. Afterwards we had a district activity at the Greensboro Science
Center. It's a pretty cool place. It's an aquarium, zoo, and museum all mixed
into one. We really enjoyed it. It was probably the best district
activity I've had on my mission. There was even a Red Panda there! And a whole
lot of other animals too! I'll send some pictures.

We then went and played
basketball with Elder Pottle and Elder Rasmussen at the church. So we've had a
pretty busy 4th so far, but nothing else exciting today.
Love y'all, by next
week I'll know the transfer business! I can't believe that the transfer is
already over! Yikes! Talk to y'all next
week!
