I'm stoked for general conference!
We will be watching it at the church unless we get to bring an investigator to a
members house.
We got to serve the other day. A
family in the ward had us come over and do some yard work on a house they rent
to people. I got to drive a riding lawn mower around some and do some weeding
and mulch spreading. We saw a giant praying mantis while doing it! It was
bigger than my hand and it attacked a grass hopper! I saved the grass hopper
though by knocking the mantis's legs out from under it. It was super wild!
Another time we were picking some weeds by some bushes and I felt a plant fall
on my neck. I grabbed it and threw it and when it hit the ground it wasn't
plants, it was a freaky crazy looking spider!!! I flipped out! It was super
scary! But we're good now :) but yeah, that was service this week.
So last week was absolutely
ridiculous! We didn't even go shopping so we just had to survive. It
made me happy to hear that Sister W wrote you though, they are a great
family! The man in the brown shirt and sunglasses that moved us too is C.H. and they are amazing parents!
The new apartment
is in a really nice neighborhood closer to downtown
Concord and is practically a mansion compared to lots of missionary
apartments. We also saw a bunch of neat critters the other night,
including a big millipede, a tree frog (I know that Hunter loves those!)
and
another big praying mantis. North Carolina is a pretty boss state!
So I forgot but did I get to email
y'all about our mission conference where we had Elder Wilson of the Seventy
speak? If not, then it was super great! It was 2 weeks ago and he talked with
us about the Book of Mormon and the power it has to convert people. One of the
things we are doing now in our mission is asking members to read with our
investigators. It's brilliant! Our investigators understand it much better and they learn to
love reading the Book of Mormon. And once they know the Book of Mormon is true,
then everything else falls into place! And then it's up to them to chose the
right and be baptized :) It's brilliant! Haha
We got a great new investigator this
Sunday! The Bishop introduced us to him and his name is J. He was in Georgia
serving in the military until recently. He's awesome and when we taught him it felt really led by the Spirit and was
just a good experience.
Other than that, life here is good! The church is true!
Love ya!
Love,
Elder Branch
