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.

Hi Everyone

hi everyone
merideth, thanks for the package and pictures. you really don't need to send me things that are going to be expensive for you. this past week has been a little rough. last friday we went over to an investigators house to try to set up a date that we could come and see them. she was getting things ready for a party she was having for one of the stylists that she works with at great clips. she was doing yard work and this brick wall thing that is in her yard fell over so we "pieced" it back together. then we asked her if she needed help with anything else and we ended up power washing her patio furniture and her garage. it was alot better than going tracting that is for sure. on saturday morning we played softball at the church but there was only 5 of us so it was a little hard playing with only 2 outfielders.
my companion served in georgetown a year and a half ago so the past week or so we have been tracking down people that he use to teach. one family, ben and sherri seem pretty good. we have taught them twice so far. they have a little boy named hayden that is 2, he's wayy cool and really funny. anyway we have been doing a lot of finding the past few days and trying to stay busy. my companion is a little bit of a number muncher so i have to break him of that.
nothing too exciting going on right now, our investigators are lazy and won't come to church which is pretty frustrating because you can't get baptized until you come to church so we'll see what happens with that. will someone send me some articles either online or from yesterdays USA Today so i can find out who won the national championship.
anyway i hope all is going well
love
elder call
