Mission Scripture

Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.

Alma 26:12

About Me

I am a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Ohio Cincinnati Mission was dissolved and I have been reassinged to the West Virginia Charleston Mission. I am currently serving in Salem, Virginia. I am enjoying sharing the gospel. It is wonderful to watch people's lives change as they accept the gospel. I have learned that the Lord always listens to us and answers our prayers. I have enjoyed helping people. The service that I have given has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my mission.

Another Week

time goes by pretty fast, the days go by kinda slow but the weeks go by fast, i can't believe it is already week 5 of the transfer. Georgetown is pretty good, as the weather is warmer more people are outside in the evening. the other night we got like 5 contacts in 10 minutes. we are going to try some of those people back in the next week. thats really cool that you were able to go to the openhouse for the temple. do you know where my hankee is that i had from the nauvoo temple? it should be in one of my top droors? or in one of those rubber made tubs under my bed. the s. family were not able to make it to church this week. the wife works at taco bell and the husband doesn't work. they only have one car and the husbands license is suspended so they can only really make it to church when she isnt working.
1. every week we go to a vetrans home and we play uno with them from 1-4. this week they had a bingo thing going on so we did that then played uno.
2.this past week i mostly ate hamburgers (a lady in the ward gave us some ground beef from the cows they raise so i made some pattys from that) i also cooked some pinto beens and rice a roni and combined those and i put it on a tortilla with melted cheese.
3. i am eating fruit but not so many veggies.
4. the husband has a daughter that is 20 but we've never met her, supposedly she has a boyfriend that is 37 and her dad is 40. the son is the wife's child.
5.i don't iron my shirts, i just do wrinkle free in the dryer.
6.we are teaching a few people but currently the s. family are the people we teach the most often and most consistently and they are keeping the committments we ask of them.
7.we have taught them lesson 1 (the restortation) and are doing bits of lesson 2 (the plan of salvation) also.
8. i think there are around 5 lessons
9. we don't eat at members home very often because we only eat at their home if an investigator is present or things like that, however they did give us a bunch of leftovers yesterday (chicken alfredo, meatballs, cake, cupcakes, a bunch of good stuff)
