Mac package a life saver...

Hey Mom,

So the package from Mr. Mac came and it was a life saver, oh and can you send me the picture with Mama Ang?  We were finally able to get a few people at church this week, two investigators and two la's.  The investigator's that came we found this week, and they are super solid, their names are Robert and Jasmine.

Love ya!

The Trio...

Hey,

Ugh...so there have been some pretty crazy things going on in the mission right now.  Issues with disobedience and such, so there were a lot of ET's this transfer.  Someone was brought to be with Elder Clarke in Laurinburg, and the there was another ET in Rockingham which is another nearby area.  So, now the Laurinburg Elders are in a trio and Elder Tyler and i are back in Pembroke by ourselves again so things have been interesting.  Wow, there has been so much mission drama that I've had to be around and deal with.  It's times like these that help you see the joy in life better.

Elder Clarke is good, he was in a rough companionship and was pretty shaken when his new comp left, but, i think he is doing a little better now.  He is from South Jordan.

So we were able to get up with our investigator David and he wan't wanting to be baptized in our church so we talked with him about some of his concerns and everything.  He knows it's true , he said everything we said made sense and was in strict accordance to the Bible.  Everyone else is still on a slow and stead slope.

Scripture for the week:  Romans 2:13

Pants are dying...

Hey,

Things are going alright here, just trying to keep on top of everything.  We are still plugging along and trying to get our investigators to progress and get more member involvement.

My clothes are holding up OK except the pants.  I have a suit pair and a regular pair, but they are at the end of their life.

So a sad thing happened.  One of the missionaries that was in my district up and left the mission.  Apparently a family friend came in the night and snuck him away and he is headed home.  So Elder Clark, (who was his comp) is now in a trio with Elder Tyler and I for the rest of the transfer, so the next five weeks will be interesting.

As far as investigators go:

David and Eliza recently taught the restoration and told us he felt something in him was telling him to read the Book of Mormon.  I told him that was the Spirit witnessing to him that he needs to read the Book of Mormon, it was a good lesson.

Another man we taught the restoration, but his concern is that he believes there are multiple paths to get to heaven, we will be going over the plan of salvation next lesson.

Have a great week!

Happy New Year...

So for New Year's Eve we played with the nerf guns so hard, one of them broke.  We went to bed early and for p-day today I took a nap, I have been so exhausted these past few weeks.  We find a lot of investigators here, but very few of them actually progress.  We have a few we are working with, but the rest still need to keep a second appointment.

Funny story.  I want on an exchange with one of the zone leaders and we set a squirrel trap and we caught a squirrel then Elder Lai ate it.

Scripture:  D&C 138:55-56

Love ya!
