Yeah, so I had my first experience with a hurricane, if you can even call it that. We were pretty far away from the eye, so all we got was wet. This was the earliest tropical storm in NC history.
Tuesday- A couple of our appointments stood us up. We talked with this one lady who was all like "Y'all are wrong, Jesus is black!!!!!!!" We're were a little confused. We told her that it didn't matter what color his skin was, he's still Jesus.
Wednesday- We were helping people move for a good part of the day. We had to get permission to leave our zone so we could help them move into their new apartment. The biggest struggle was trying to get a couch up the stairs to his new apartment. The stairwell was way to skinny. It seriously took me, Elder Terril, Elder Lancaster, and Elder Seastrand half an hour to get it up, then another 15 minutes to get it to the point where we could get it in the apartment.
Thursday- We helped our neighbor move to another apartment. We talked with her and she is prepared. We're going to give her the church's 15 step program to quit smoking. We had a member present with our investigator Kecia that night. We usually talk to her on her front door step, and the roof leaks when it rains. This of course the time that it decided it wanted to start raining. We got soaked. Cool thing though, we went out with a member of the ward who had recently moved there from RIVERTON UTAH!!
Friday- Happy 4th of July!!! Today was a non proselyting day. We went to a breakfast and then went to our zone meeting. Near the end of it, they stressed how to become a consecrated missionary, and then keeping on doing missionary work after we went home. It gave me a ton of motivation to be a better missionary. We helped a member family move a fridge into their home, so more service!! The fireworks were pretty cool, but the show was pretty short. We went and got frozen hot chocolate with the zone leaders in the new Van. They are very proud of it.
Saturday- We went on an exchange today. My companion for the day was Elder Lancaster. He's been out for almost a year. He left the same time that Courtney did. We went and did some service for a member. It was her birthday, so we cleaned up her lawn a little bit. She has a way special gift of discernment. I don't even know how to describe it. We went to a couple of appointments. Elder Lancaster is a Spanish Elder, so I wasn't of much help, but I did learn a lot from him.
Sunday- We went and gave the sacrament to Sister Marshall. For those who don't remember, her daughter fell out of a two story window onto the concrete and was in a coma. She looked a lot better today. She was awake, but they gave her a ton of drugs, so she was a little loopy.
Shout out to my nieces and nephews that sent me letters and drawings last week. I love you guys too.
