Last Week in the Rapids

Monday- We had a lesson with our investigator Milton, and he is awesome. We introduced the Book of Mormon to him and he agreed to be baptized. He's way solid.

Tuesday- We went to Angel's closet, then got to work. We had a lesson with a lady named Kimberly who's black but totally looks like there's a heavy dose of Asian. We tried to mow a member's lawn, but the lawnmower wasn't working. We had a lesson with a lady named Sandra. She doesn't understand very much. We had a lesson with Sharnai. We taught the Plan of Salvation.

Wednesday- We had a couple of appointments fall through. We had another lesson with John Thomas. He wasn't sold right off on the Plan of Salvation, but in the end, he said that he might could believe it.

Thursday-We had a lesson with Greg and introduced the Book of Mormon. After weekly planning, we had a couple appointments cancel. We went to visit a member, but we were a little early, so Elder Lewis and I decided to do some tracting. We knocked on the first house, but no one answered. I went to walk off the porch, when Elder Ward said "Elder, where are you going?" I said "Tracting." He was confused and said, "What? Wait, then who lives here." My response was, "I don't know, that's the point of tracting." He was zoned out when we decided to tract haha. He thought that was the member's house. We talked with a guy named Ronnie, who's way humblesauce. Then we had a lesson with Sandra.

At some point, I forgot my shoes, while Elder Lewis forgot what we were even doing.

Friday- We had district meeting and exchanges with the zone leaders. Elder Lewis and I stayed in Roanoke Rapids with Elder Williams, who I totally went to High School with!!! We ended up doing quite a bit of tracting. We had a super good lesson with Kendrick Snow, a recent convert.

Saturday- We got transfer calls, I'm going to Hampton Virginia. If you've ever seen the Youtube video, "Hide yo wife, hide yo kids," that's where I'm going. Elder Lewis and Ward are both training. We exchanged back and had a really good lesson with this guy named Terel. We met him at Wal-Mart. It was a long drive, but well worth it. He's super prepared.

This was not creepy at all. The things you find while tracting.

Sunday- After weeks and weeks of frustration, WE FINALLY HAD SOMEONE COME TO CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sandra came, but left after sacrament meeting. Terel was late, but he was there and he loved it. We had a couple of really good lessons. One was with a new investigator who knew a lot of the stuff we talked about already, and she's never met with missionaries before. We also had a lesson with Milton. He's read to 1 Nephi 9 already. We taught the Plan of Salvation, and he was making notes in his pamphlet. Today was so great.
