The One Where I'm Around President Craven Too Much ;)

Hello everybody,So this week has been absolutely full of meetings. We had our Zoneconference on Tuesday that was great! We got some wonderful trainingby president Craven about being "quick to observe". I love how in histrainings he makes sure they are today, tomorrow, and foreverprinciples. That means they are not only applicable to us while we areon our missions but they will also apply when we go home. We got a lawof tithing throw down that was extremely impromptu. We were in themiddle of role playing, teaching a commandment of our choice when...

The One Where I Rip a Smoke Detector out of a Wall, Play Exterminator and Steal a Table!

Hello Everybody!  Another great week here on the mission!  I wish I had more things to talk about this week, but it was a pretty mediocre week. Didn't really find anyone new to teach and even got copies of the book of Mormon returned to us. That was a really sad story. We went over to contact someone who agreed to a return appointment but had missed the first one. We talked with them briefly and set up another return appointment...

The One Where I Steal a CD on Exchanges, Realize I'm getting Fat, and Get a New iPad

Hello Everyone! Hope everyone had a great week! Mine was aggressively average in basically every aspect. I think I might be hitting my stride as a missionary, or in other words, getting to the point where nothing seems crazy or interesting. It's mostly because everyday has something crazy or interesting as part of it, making everything seem mundane to the max. But it's all good. We had zone activity last week for P Day....

The One Where They Unneccesarily Cancel Church and I Tutor Trigonometry!

Hey Y'all! Nothing overly spectacular happened as far as teaching this week. We did teach one extremely heartbreaking lesson though. We followed up on a return appointment that we set that we weren't really planning on going back to you because the lady didn't seem very interested. We decided to go back anyway and when got there the lady was home with her three grandchildren because the town closed schools because the temperature maybe dropped below 30 forthree seconds!  The state is so weird.  Everything shuts...

The One Where We get Locked out of Our Apartment in a Blizzard

This is been a pretty good week!  I have a crazy story from last P-Day.  So we were going outside to look at the snow. When we got outside theback door shut behind us which we didn't think was that big of a deal. Only when we try to open it it was locked.  Apparently the back door locks itself when it closes from the outside. We had left everything in the house and we  were outside of the house!  The...

The One Where a Felon Raps for us on the side of a Highway

It's been another good week here in North Carolina! We had a zone meeting on Tuesday which is a lot of fun. Some missionaries in our district did a musical number that was really really good. After zone meeting we went to Buffalo Wild Wings. We went there with Sister R and the Sisters because we all drove together to Hickory where zone meeting was. It was so good! Anyway, Sister R is such a good missionary! She ended up talking to the guy at the...
