Standing Up for Truth

Monday- We went and saw the Sanderlin's and talked about the Book of Mormon. They asked for a large print copy that they could read.

Tuesday- We had our last correlation with Elder Davis, then went and contacted a less active family that ended up coming to church this week!! Elders 1 Satan 0. We also taught this guy that works with Brother Hamilton. We had to cut it short with him, but should be teaching him this week. We had dinner at the Drake's, then nobody showed up for Book of Mormon class.



Wednesday- I started the My Plan thingy for soon-to-be return missionaries. I thought it was going to do nothing but trunk me out, but it was amazingly spiritual. The first week talked about remembering what we've learned and who we've become on our missions. Then it invited us to study out patriarchal blessings looking for certain things. It's amazing!!  President Evers picked us up and drove us to Elizabeth City for transfers.IMG_0054.JPG Elder Collier is a super cool guy I mean Elder!! President Evers took us out to lunch, then we got home. We were there for just a little bit, then we were off to an appointment with Mike Harris, which fell through. We went and saw Brother Eller, and then Brother Connel. Brother Connel gave us an entire chocolate cake!! We had dinner with the Estes' and then went and saw a less-active couple with Brother Estes.

Thursday- After weekly planning, we went down to Grandy. We stopped by the Harvley's and talked with them a little bit. We also saw Sister Cartwright, who absolutely loves family history by the way. We had dinner with the Packer's, who are still just so much fun to be around.

Friday- We had district meeting down in Nags Head, and then Jacob Packer took us out to lunch. We went and taught Mike Harris about the Plan of Salvation. We turned around and taught Dan McCarthy the same lesson. We had dinner at the Waller's house. They made some amazing shrimp fettuccine alfredo!!

Saturday- We went and saw Big Rob and Nichole. We started into the Restoration, then Big Rob went off on us about Joseph Smith. We pretty much just stood there and took a verbal lashing. Nichole started defending us though. We just bore our testimonies and then left. Honestly, the whole experience just strengthened my testimony of the Restoration. We went and saw Brother Eller again, then had dinner with Taryn Smith and her family. They are great!! We talked with Brother Hulet about coming to church.

Sunday- Church was really good today. We had a linger longer afterwards. We had a good conversation with this guy in the trailer park, then went to the Etheridges for dinner. More shrimp!!! I love the shrimp out here!!
