Mar. 2, 2015 in Rock Hill, SC

Hello wonderful family!!

Rock hill is going good. So super fun story, I actually got to see J. yesterday! We took 3 new members to a Mission President Fireside yesterday, and Brother B. from Huntersville brought J. and the Sister Missionaries that are serving there now! It was so fun to get to see him! He and I got to talk after the Fireside quite a bit. It was really funny when J. was introduced to President C.! President said "You are J.!? You're famous!!" J. smiled and smiled :) it was great! I also got to see Sister W. from Concord! She came up to me at the end and said "Hi", and to tell you "Hi"   :)  haha, it was so fun  :)  The Mission President Fireside was really good for our new members, especially A. 

We're getting updated iPads so I need to send a whole ton of pictures and notes to myself so that I can download them on my new iPad. So I'm sorry this week is so short! Main story was seeing J. yesterday, and it was sweet! Elder B. and Elder S. also baptized .. last week and we got to go, so that was super great!!! We had a really good weekly planning this last week, and I'm excited to have a great week with lots of miracles!

  

Thanks so much for your emails. The stories and pictures were all great!! I sure love yall so much, and pray for you each day!

Love,

Elder Branch

Feb. 23, 2015 Transfer to Rock Hill, SC, New Companion, Elder A.

Hello! :D

So Elder S. returned home. I'm so happy you got to go to his report! He's awesome!

I was transferred to Rock Hill, SC and my new comp is Elder A. He is way funny. He's happy all the time and just makes you smile :) There are 4 of us in the apartment, Elder A. who came out with me and was trained by Elder Z. for 1 week before I stole Elder Z.  Elder S. who was trained for 6 weeks by Elder S. and is in charge of special musical numbers for the mission meetings. Elder B. who I was with in Concord!!! Haha, it's way fun being with all these elders that all have tie-ins with each other.   All of the elders I'm with now are big into scouting, so that's pretty fun too.  :)  :)

Elder S. and B. have a person getting baptized next week so that's exciting.

More news about my new area: It's a very different culture here than in Huntersville. We got told twice in Walmart today that we should renounce our faith or we're damned, so it's been pretty wild and we have work to do.

I appreciate your prayers and know God will help us here :) "Do Gods Will and Accept His Timing."

Thanks for the emails!! Yall are the best!! The church is true!!

Love Elder Branch :)

Another picture of J. - love him.
