The new Tri-Lakes Area Zone Leaders

Zone Leader...

So Transfers!

Crazy things are going down.  There were seven zones, but due to a loss of missionaries in the mission they are down sizing to 5 zones, mix-matching and making new ones.  President asked if Elder Hawks and I would be the zone leaders over one of the new zones they are creating.  it will be a fun new experience.  New area is Fuquay-Varina, Tri-Lake Zone!  More information next week!

Love Y'all

Zoo in Sanford...

Hey Mom,

So it works out, we changed our p-day today.  There was a zoo in Sanford that we wanted to to to as a district, but it isn't opened on Monday so we got permission to change our p-day to today wo we could go.  We just got back and it's a nice little zoo, nothing spectacular, but it was fun to of and see.  They had a giraffe you could feed.  I put a carrot in my mouth and the giraffe ate it our of my mouth.  It was fun.  And, for my birthday, haha, I don't know if its too late for requests or anything, but there is a board game called King of Tokyo that I played out here on a p-day and it's super fun, it would be a good p-day activity.  This week was good, Derek and Scott came to Church.  Transfers are coming up this week, we get the news on Saturday.  I'm 90% sure I'm leaving, but we will see!

Love ya mom, thanks for all you do!

Miracle this week...

Hey Mom,

We have to go to Fayetteville today so I don't have a lot of time, again pics today, sorry.  Derricks baptism didn't go through , I will keep you posted on how he's doing.  But we did have a miracle this week.  There was someone that Elder Qaio and I contacted two months ago, it was just your usual door contact.  We invited her to church and gave her a card but she wasn't interested in speaking to us, but she randomly showed up at church yesterday and wants to learn more.  The never happens, but we are so grateful it did!

Love Y'all!
