Companion: Elder Cox
Well, overall this week has been relatively normal. On Halloween we carved pumpkins at P-day, then we went home and did weekly planning.
I went on exchanges this week with Elder Smith, my district leader, who was also my MTC companion. It was cool to see how much we both have grown.
Thursday we had a recent convert couple take us to this place called Louisburg cider mill. They grow their own apples and make basically everything under the sun with them. It was cool. We were able to see them make cider and donuts and then we ate them, so that was a plus.
A cool miracle that we saw this week - a member had a baby but they had a couple packages arrive at their house the same day. So they asked us to pick up the packages. Then a couple days latter we felt like we should stop to see if they were home even though they weren't supposed to be back until the next day. We stopped by and they literally had gotten home maybe 1-2 minutes earlier and we delivered their mail and helped them bring everything in. You know you're doing something right when you show up just at the right time.
We received a referral from church HQ. It was in a town at the far south end of our area about 45 minutes away. Because of miles we only get to go down once every 2 weeks and it was going to be a little while until we could go down. Then about an hour later our ward mission leader called us and asked if we were available to help him do some service down in that town for an elderly lady the next day. So he drove us down and we did the service, changed in a super nasty garage with a wide open door that couldn't close, and contacted the referral. She was a very nice lady and we taught her about the Book of Mormon and she accepted one. We will be going back next week!
Sorry this email is a little bit shorter, but not that much exciting stuff happened this week I guess. Thank you for all of your support. Make it a good week!
