Ayyyyyyeee another good week

 Ayyyyyyeee another good week out here in Hope Mills North Carolina! Unfortunately Dawn did not get baptized this week because she hasnt gotten married yet.... but SOon hopefully!!!! We have still been teaching her everyday

Me and Elder Gardner went to a car dealership with some old cars so that was pretty sweet. We also got some free haircuts from this place called Paul Mitchell and Elder Gardner started teaching the chick that was cutting his hair so that is pretty sweet 

We also had an Elder come in a trio with us for a day and we had a ton of lessons, and then we went and hit up a Southern food buffet

We did some service for a lady named Tina this week. We stacked a HUGE pile of wood, she was super appreciative and we are probably going to teach her this week! 

We have been struggling to meet members here and get fed by the members... so me and Elder Gardner just been calling every single member and asking them if we can come do some service..... when they ask what time we just say 5 o'clock and 9/10 they ask us if we have dinner and invite us over. 

Overall things are going great, time is flying! Transfers are tomorrow, crazy to think I only have 3 more transfers in the mission

This week In my studies this scripture stuck out to me...

18 But, behold, the righteous, the saints of the Holy One of Israel, they who have believed in the Holy One of Israel, they who have endured the crosses of the world, and despised the shame of it, they shall inherit the kingdom of God, which was prepared for them from the foundation of the world, and their joy shall be full forever

I know that Joy comes through following Jesus Christ. He has paid the price for all of us, and now he asks that we take up our cross and follow him! Christ has shown us the way, and we have been given the choice to take it or not.

Love yall
