  2/24 Hi Everyone,   This week was a pretty crazy week.  I had two exchanges with different elders.  The First one was with Elder Fowles from Logan Utah. It was fun talking to him because he has a lot of his clothes from Al's Sporting Goods which brought me back lol.  It was great going around with him in Aiken.  Then right after I went around with Elder Jarvis and had a lot of fun with him.    While I was in Aiken, my companion,  Elder Enoch, put three of our friends on date for baptism.  It is exciting!  We were also able to hang with John after his baptism.  We went shopping with him to help him find a suit for church.   We are planning on going to the temple with him soon.   My friend Steve from my last area got baptized as well.  I was happy I could facetime into his baptism.   He said when I go to the temple with John he will be there too.  So that is amazing! So far this month four peo...

Feb 17 Hi everyone,   These past 2 weeks have been crazy! They were full.  We had a Zone Conference which was fun and then we went on two exchanges with missionaries.  The first one I became a spanish missionary for the day and it was really interesting because I was pretty lost for it lol.  I understood a lot more than I thought but I couldn't formulate any responses. It was a great time tho.  But the Spanish area covers two zones so we ended up running into Elder Richardson which was fun.     The highlight of last week was that Cierra's kids got baptized in Simpsonville.  I was able to join by ZOOM.    This week here in White Knoll our friend John got baptized. John Is a really cool guy who filled out an online request to meet with missionaries less than a month ago and he was just baptized.  He got baptized in less than a month!!  He is the best and the baptism was great as well.     It was...

  2/4 Hi everyone!    Well, I was  transferred.  My new area is Lexington, South Carolina. I am kinda sad to leave Orangeburg.  If I have the option at the end of my mission, I want to go back.    I'm excited for the new area though! For the first time my companion is from a cooler place than me. My companion is Elder Enoch from the Marshall Islands. English is his second language so he has been learning English here in America. It is really cool and it's great hearing his perspectives on things.  I was also called to serve as the Zone Leader with him.   On Monday, a friend that I taught and was later baptized came down from Elgin to see me and we got to hang out.   It was great to see him.  He is really excited about preparing to go to the temple and do the work for his family.     Have a great week.
