June 4, 2018  

Hey folks. I’m currently sitting in a Firestone waiting for them to replace our tire. So I’ll see if I can crank this baby out in 20 minutes.

We had a good week.

I went to Holly Springs, Mississippi, and did exchanges with Elder Billman. He’s a very good Elder. He’s an Idaho farm boy who was born to serve in Holly Springs because so many farmers live in that area. We met with a young farmer named Wesley who said he didn’t have time on Sundays to go church because he needs to work on the farm. Elder Billman wasn’t taking it. “I know that isn’t true because I’m a farmer, and all we did on Sundays was feed the cows!” It was pretty funny, we had a good laugh about it, and Wesley committed to come to church.

 Two different of our investigators, T and T, came to church. Each of them
got rides from members, which was really awesome. I’m so grateful for members that are willing to help us out. It definitely makes life a whole lot easier on us. We are really excited about T. He has a baptismal date for the 23rd of June, and he loved church. He said he’s going to be a regular of the Southaven Ward. He doesn’t have any big concerns, other than the fact that he lives in in one of of the sketchiest parts of Memphis, Whitehaven, which is in our area. A huge part of our area extends into the southeast part of Memphis, all the way to the Mississippi River. Anyways, we got T a large print triple
combination, and he is super excited to read it. He has already read the Book of Mormon all the way through, several times over the years. Somehow, he had never met missionaries before, wanting to know more about the church for years and years, until he saw a pop up ad for the church a month ago. We are going to meet with him tonight at 7:30.

Well a lot more happened this week, but I’m out of time! Love y’all!
