This has been quite a week. It's been pretty rough again. I feel like when I got to Albemarle I hit a wall. And no matter how hard I push against it it doesn't move. But the thing that I'm learning is that what I'm supposed to do is push. It doesn't matter if the wall is there or not, I can't control that. But what I can do is push. I think that's true for a lot of things in life. We all have walls that come up in our lives, I think the scriptural term is "stumbling block", and most of the time we don't control if they are there. What we do is...

So this week was transfers. I'll give the basic rundown of information. So I left Lenoir in Sister D's Van Big Red with Elder Gardner and the Sisters. We got to Charlotte and I found out that I would be heading to Albermarle in the Charlotte Central Stake with Elder Ashcroft. He is from Mesa Arizona. He came out in the transfer that I did and we replaced a set of Sisters that were previously in that area. Albermarle is the largest geographical area in the mission, about 60 miles from the furthest north to furthest...
Wow! What a week! Miracles abounded!
I'll start with some miracle stories.
After we got home from zone meeting on Friday and we were just finishing up lunch, we got a text from our appointment that afternoon canceling. We were pretty disappointed. But, determined to remain diligent, we opened our area books to see what we could do. We decided to look up some less actives that lived in our area, and were drawn to a name that we had never noticed...
And another week gone and another week gone, another week bites the dust. This week has been insane! But so is every week, so this week has been very normal!Tuesday was full of crushing disappointments. Elder Gardner and I had been master planners and had five member present lessons lined up for Tuesday. We would have hit our goal for the week in a single day! Only the problem started during companionship study. We got our first text of a cancelled...
Being sick as a missionary is the worst! It's difficult enough trying to maintain the spirit as you're being yelled at but it's even harder when every facial orifice is leaking as you do it! But other than that this week as been one of the better ones and I'm not too sure why.
I'll begin with a miracle story from the week. I should really start putting these in all my emails because stuff like this happens almost daily.
Earlier this...
Okay so I don't really know what to talk about this week so I'll probably just start from the beginning and move forward from there.
So after P-Day we were going to contact a media referral lady who wanted a bible. As soon as we left from our zone activity of volleyball (I crushed it by the way) I was feeling off. It's a hard feeling to describe but I felt sick and not sick at the same time, and my body and head hurt but...
How do you even start an email. I should probably think of something
clever soon. Oh well.
This week was, I don't even know how to describe it, it was just crazy. I have no idea why I am as happy as I am because this week was absolutely brutal. We got shot down by everybody, and all the baptists are completely ignorant to the truth we share. But for some reason I'm happy! I really do not get it.
There were some good things...
