Hey folks, this week was a dandy, and like I said we were super busy. We had a lot of service and a lot of meetings, and unfortunately not as much time for proselyting.

On Tuesday we went to Senatobia and did exchanges with the Elders their. I went with Elder Stewart. Elder Stewart rode bucking broncos back at home and is a total country boy. He’s a workhorse and an incredible missionary, and we’ve become good friends. Then on Thursday we drove down to Little Rock for Mission Leadership Council.

The instruction was on leadership and also finding. Instead of doing a role play, we did a real play and they told us to go outside and just talk to every single person we saw. The transfer van dropped us off in a neighborhood, and President Faulkner, the first counselor in the mission presidency came with us. We found a lady named Victoria, who let us in and told us she had gone to church before. It was awesome having President Faulkner with us, he knows so much. He is African American and a convert to the church.

On Saturday we had an all day service project in downtown Memphis at FedEx forum, where the Memphis Grizzlies play. We packed meals for senior citizens in poverty. They had a live dj, so we had a ton of fun jamming out and dancing to the music.

Sorry this is so short! I’ll make sure and include a lot of details next week, but the Church is true and I love y’all!

Also, I got to have dinner with the Benitez fam on Saturday! So great to see them again! I also got to visit my old apartment!
