This week was good! Monday we were up at myrtle beach pretty much all day. When we got there we had a cookout at the surf side elders apartment and then went to the beach to play ultimate and stuff which was awesome! Then when we got back to Moncks Corner, the sisters were moving apartments so we had the pleasure of carrying all their stuff up 3 flights of stairs which was a good workout haha.
Tuesday we had DDM and I got got Elder Carter down here in Moncks Corner for exchanges which was fun! We saw a lot of people and did a little service which is always a blast. We have two members a week that are assigned to go out teaching with us, and this weeks members were awesome so me and Elder Carter didn't do to much biking haha. But we did get to see quite a few people!
Thursday we went to Mepkin Abbey to do service, but we had a much bigger group than usual! President and Sister Turner came down to go and check it out, and the Georgetown elders came down so that we could re exchange after service. That was really fun! Elder Willie and I were spraying weed killer around this tree near where president and Sister Turner were working and there was this really weird lizard thing on the tree and we asked if they knew what it was. President said "that's a tree gator!" He was joking, but it was still hilarious haha. After Mepkin we met with a guy who called us and asked if we could help him with his family search account. So we met him at the church and help him get it all set up, and then we started talking about family history and the church and he was really interesting! When we asked him if he was a member that had just moved in he said he wasn't a member "yet" which was pretty funny and awesome! But he said he loves everything our church does and thinks it is awesome we have a whole book called "doctrine and covenants".
Friday was pretty low key. We did some good weekly planning and got set up well for the upcoming week. We have been purging our area book too so we do not have a lot of investigators. So we have been doing A LOT of finding haha. Hopefully we start to see the results of the efforts!! Saturday was awesome! We had conference which took up our whole day. But it was an amazing conference!! And before the priesthood session, we had hot dogs with chili and fellowship which was fun! Then Sunday, conference took up most of our day too. But after the evening session, we went and fixed a dryer which was interesting and I'm just glad I didn't shock myself messing with all those chords haha. And Ms. Ursala, who isn't a member but loves the missionaries, asked us if we could go unload a recliner for her. So we did! And that was fun. And I guess we got there right after the Women's march madness championship so she told us all about it which sounded crazy! But go South Carolina!! So overall great week! And I am so grateful that we have a living prophet on the earth today and that we had the opportunity to hear him speak to us along with many other chosen church leaders. It is such a blessing to have the gospel restored and that priesthood authority with it. I love you all and miss you so much!! Have a great week!
