Hey whats up Mom?!
So I just finished my first week in Memphis and it was
pretty dang awesome! I'm serving with Elder Brown as zone leaders in the
Memphis zone. We're serving in the Memphis 2nd east area! This area is
sweet! Its covers a lot of the "hood" in Memphis so of course, me
being a red head, I fit right in.
We got some pretty awesome people we are
working with right now. We just had a baptism a couple of days ago for a lady
named Monica Wilkins! She is fired up about the Gospel. These last couple of
days we have had people coming up out of the wood works too for us. It feels so
good to be back in the grind of things again! I thought it would be hard to get
used to a new area after being in one for a year but the new scene and the new
challenge is pretty exciting and it feels like all the pieces are coming
together for us right now!
Elder Brown is awesome. He has been out for just
under a year. He is from grangeville, Idaho. He is tall, a good basketball
player, and a really hard working missionary. He is new to being a zone leader
so I get the opportunity of training him up which i'm pretty stoked for.
Memphis is the place to be!
(Grandma Wellman just so you know, Graceland is
right outside our area and its a big deal out here.)
I just love being out here and doing what we do everyday.
The only thing I hate about it is how fast it goes. Its just a good feeling to
fill your day with things that brings you closer to the spirit. As of late, my
favorite scripture has been John 8:29. "And he that sent me is with me,
the Father hath not left me alone, for I do always those things which please
Him." I have definitely learned the secret to peace in this life, and its
doing always the things that please Heavenly Father. I'm not very good at it
yet but I know when I try my best to do that life is a lot more rewarding.
Serving the mission has been the most challenging and rewarding thing I have
ever done. Thanks family for all your support!
