This week was pretty good! Tuesday we had DDM and I gave a training which is always fun. And the zone leaders were there because they were gonna go on exchanges with Elder Rose so that was awesome because it is always fun to see them! After DDM the zone leaders got a call that they had to go help some missionaries in Charleston that locked their keys in their car though, so they couldn't go on exchanges. But elder Rose and Elder Anderson still needed to exchange so we decided we would do that! So it was me and Elder Carter down here in Moncks Corner. And to start it off, before the zone leaders went down to Charleston we got to go have lunch with them which was a blast. Then me and Elder Carter got to work! We got to see one of our investigators who has been having a harder time progressing. And we talked to her about the priesthood and why it is important that she go to a church that has the authority to act in God's name. It was a really good lesson and I am grateful that we got to have it.
After that we had a lesson with a guy in our apartment complex. He is always out and about walking walking his dogs and sees us leaving on our bikes in our shirt and ties and asked us what we were always doing! So we told him, and he said he would love to have us over sometime to talk about our church. That was about two weeks ago, and we finally got an appointment set up for this last Tuesday. We went over and taught him the restoration which went really well and he asked some really good questions. Then after the lesson itself was finished he had some more questions for us. The questions pointed toward a struggle he has accepting God. So we told him as much as we could and invited him to read from the Book of Mormon and he said he would and that he would love to have us over for another lesson.
Wednesday not to much happened. We got a ride up to Georgetown to re exchange which was fun as always. Afterwards we tried to go see some people that weren't home which was a bummer. Then we played some basketball and there were a bunch of nonmembers and less active members there which was awesome so we got to talk to them.
Thursday was pretty fun! We started with some service at Mepkin abbey. We were splitting wood for about 3 hours which was very tiring but just as fun! Then we had a bunch of appointments fall through which was a bummer. But we got to finish off the day at Book of Mormon class!! And I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon. It has the answer to every one of life's questions. I know the Book of Mormon is true and that we can grow closer to God by reading it than any other book. I have learned so much from it and still no nothing compared to how much it has to offer. Friday and Saturday were a little on the slow side. I got a nail in my tire so we were walking until Brother Hill could take us to get a new tire on Saturday which was rough. But it's back up and running now so no worries!!

Sunday was awesome. I know I talk a lot about the sacrament. But this Sunday especially I could really feel of the importance of it. It was fast Sunday so I was fasting. And anyone who knows ,e knows I get hangry real quick which is rough haha. But I had been fasting with a few questions in mind and I really took a step back and just thanked the Lord for all that I have been given during the sacrament, and I just felt overcome with love and peace. It was amazing and I am so grateful that I have a Father and Heaven who knows me so well and knows that was exactly what I needed. Then between Sunday night after planning and Monday morning studies I read 3 Nephi- the end of Mormon in the Book of Mormon which was awesome. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that it was especially for us today. I love you all and miss you so much!! Have an amazing week!
