There's a snake in my boot!

   Well for the title of the email that is how I will start us off. So Tuesday we had service and well I didn't notice anything wrong with my boots why would I? Well after working at the food bank for about 3 ish hours I was feeling something at the end of my toes. I was like oh did something fall in them that's odd it's at my toes. Flip shoe over and do the shaky shake and a large dead roach falls out it was interesting he looked very dead and smashed. Odd it took me like 3 hours to figure it out I know but that was fun. 


   Deep sigh* just hit 9 months today!

   Sunday was really fun we had an Ahoskie day where we drive like about 80 minutes total from the apartment to meet with some people in a small town. They haven't been as productive as we have hoped for but this Ahoskie day was really good! We only do them every couple of months but we meet many great people. First, a member who escaped Romania on a Saturday to avoid getting drafted or whatever on a Monday. Great guy super big garden! Like 8 rows of about 30 ish feet of tomatoes, grapes, cucumbers, and a few other things - super cool! He's been inactive for a while and was really happy to see us.  We will be going to church with Brother Starkey and his wife they are the best about 50 minutes from the church!

   Transfer news anyone? Well, Elder Wilkinson is going home. I... am... Staying! Sigh question mark thoughts? Sorry I'm weird but I'm pretty cool with it I'm excited the works are still really good and the best part is I get some new fire I'll be training! Will be super cool of course a little nervous but I'm excited. We will see how I do though I'm excited. :)

   Enjoy pictures of my new guarder friend.

This week we had our p-day on Saturday so that we would go to the temple and watch an endowment and sealing from Elder Naluai's old area. A super cool special moment.  I'm getting transferred so that's wild. I'm going back to Elizabeth City! It's more or less exactly what I wanted I'm glad to have this happen. I'll be companions with Elder Hill that's going to be a blast. Friday is transfers it will be a lot of driving.  We played some disk golf this week again and I found some poison ivy evidently so. So just putting up with that.  It makes the everyday moment more interesting.  The Elders in our district had their car in the shop and they stayed over almost all week! We had a crazy few days. The downtown part of Suffolk is a 14-mile drive about 30 minutes. We took the bus there and then biked home. That was a fun day. A total of 23 miles biked that day we were dead! So fun though, I want to do it again.  Gunna be horrible to say goodbye to my friend Sa

So much happens every single week here in Chesapeake zone. We went up to serve again at the temple Monday and Tuesday that's why you are receiving this email on Wednesday. The temple is fun to serve at. We removed or put on shoe covering so people can enter the temple. Nice to hear everyone's thoughts on the temple both members and nonmembers of the church. I also love hanging out with the other missionaries and just having fun together. We had 10 Elders spend the night with some local missionaries it was all 10 of us in 2 bedroom apartment so that was a blast. My air mattress had a hole so I moved to the couch what a blessing that was actually slept really well. They had 7 missionaries in one room and 3 in the other I liked being in the 3 the other two missionaries are a lot younger in the mission and it was nice to just chat with them about how they are doing. Super fun though. We had a great lesson with a part member family. They have all been coming to church for years the

  Tuesday the 6th Today started out with interviews with the mission president; which is always really fun. We have seen President Hutchesen a lot recently. Zone conference, stake conference, and interviews. There has been a big focus on trying to talk with everyone and you'd think after being on my mission for 20 months I'd be a natural by now. Well as of 4 weeks ago I'd still kinda dread talking with everyone it's scary as many might agree, but I love it now so much more fun. With the focus to talk with everyone we have also just talked about being focused on our missionary purpose (Inviting others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel by faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement, repentance, baptism, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost). So what I think of now is do you want to come closer to God? Some people say yes others say no. Among the people who say yes we go further if you are wanting to come closer to God, I know how or I believe
