Alright, lets get ya'll a bit of an update on how things are out here in the WONDERFUL VRM Mission!
Last Friday we had a big zone confrence and Elder Kenneth Johnson from the quorm of the 70's came and spoke to us. He pretty much spoke the entire time! He's such a great man! VERY KNOWLEDGABLE! He's was busting scriptures out like crazy an from Preach My Gospel. His wife came as well. They have English accents, they're so funny! I receieved A LOT of spiritual upfliftment and enlightment! It was such a blessing to have him there! A lot of my questions were answered plus some! Sister Millburn was also there which was great! Sister Kim and her two companions came and stayed with us Thursday night. They came and spent the day with us (thursday) then we all drove up together on Friday to New Port News. My first area! It was SO GREAT to be back there! I was able to see a few of the members because of early morning seminary! They all remembered me. I couldn't believe it. It was a blast! We had to get up at 3 in the morning though so we could be there by 7. So we left at 5:30. Talk about a long day. We were all pretty tired. It was GREAT to see sister Kim again though! We were glued to eachother the entire time. People made fun of us! But we don't even care!
We're working with a new investigator named Danny. He's so great!! He's 45 years old and is very open and willing to learn. The first time we met him he was quiet and standoffish but last week he opened write up to us. We have another appointment with him today at 12. I CAN'T WAIT! I love teaching! Our teaching pool isn't the highest, but that just gives us the opportunity to go out and find more and get more doors slammed in our faces. Which is GOOD because it keeps us humble!
Next P-Day we're going to go carve pumpkins with the Elders! I'm super excited about that. I LOVE Halloween! I can't believe its here again already though.
Things are great! I love being a missionary! Thanks for all your love and support!
