Yeah kids are scared of the dark

 








Happy Halloween I'd love to see everyone who dresses up send me a picture I'd love that. This last week has been good, we got to serve at the farm again and that was fun we where taking down and installing new fence posts so that was nice. We have still been meeting with Blanche whos still on date to be baptised but it will have to be moved back because she missed church this Sunday thats to bad. 

   We had what seemed to be really close to a thanksgiving dinner at a members it was super good food nice steak and potatos thought the mashed potatos weren't as good as back homes. 
   We did about 2 and a half hours of biking on Friday that was fun we tried to visit a lot of people and it was eh. Not a lot of people home or having the time to talk to us so that was a bummer but we know now for sure we are capable of lots and lots of biking.  
   We had an exchange this week it was so fun. I was with another missionary whos been out a little less then me and we had a great time. We did lots of going door to door and had more success than not so that was amazing. I've been so very blessed and am just trying to keep getting better and better I love being a missionary sorry but it'll be a bummer to go home.
   We carved pumpkins for P-day today thats been fun mine was very eh just enough effort to be fun.

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
