Hi everyone,

 

This week was a pretty great! We went to the temple as a mission on Tuesday! It was really nice being there with everyone! 






I then went on exchanges with Elder Lockington who I have been in the same zone with for 9 months.  It was fun talking and working with him.   He goes home in a week and we did some walking down memory lane.

 

For pday,  we went to the zoo and that was a lot of fun! The zoo here is apparently a top 3 zoo in the world.











 

I am excited for this week because I get to go to the temple with Paula, she was baptized a couple weeks ago. It will be great! I have never done baptisms here so I am excited!

 

Love, Elder Gurney

Nov 11 Hi Everyone! This week I got transferred to Evans Georgia! I am excited to be back in Georgia! I am about an hour and 30 minutes north of Statesboro.  I actually cover 2 wards here and that is interesting.  I get to go to 2 sacrament meetings.   I am also in a Trio which is random but cool.  I am comps with Elder Copier from Cali and Elder Monua from Lehi Utah.  They have both been out for only 3 monthsl.  It is a really nice area and the members here seem nice.   But I am going to miss Simpsonville. My last day in Simpsonville was pretty great. We went to our friend Cierra's house and invited her and her kids to be baptized.  Her kids said yes but Cierra said she had already been baptized.  So Elder Rose has some work to do lol.  The kids are really excited and they are a lot of fun so I'm excited to see what happens with them.  I also met a guy that went to school at Georgia Southern University and he had a b...

  March 12 This week was another great week in Statesboro Georgia! Elder Richardson and I have been working hard!  On Tuesday, we got a text from a member who had not been to church in about five years.  He said he had quit drinking and really needed us to come over and teach him a lesson to keep his mind off of alcohol.  He told us he had been drinking everyday for a while and was having about 5 beers a day.  He's a really great guy and is definitely doing great.  We're meeting with him again tomorrow.   For Elder Richardson's 1st Wednesday, I decided I needed to introduce him to Wingstop. We ate 40 wings for wingsday so that was a lot of fun.  But, not too many crazy things happened this week!   March Zone Conference March 18 Hi Everyone, This week was a great week full of great missionary work.  Nothing really exciting but we met a lot of people with potential.  There was also a big storm so a lot of the dirt roads...

  Aug 5 Hi Everyone,   This week was a lot more interesting than last week.  We first had a zone conference at the beginning of the week and we had two zones combined so I got to see a bunch of people I know.  It was cool and it had some great testimonies.  We learned how to check the oil in our cars and I was surprised that some people weren't sure about how to do that.  But then my companion got sick and we were stuck inside for the whole day while my companion tried to not die.     Later in the week one of the companionships  in the district had a talent show.  They are both Samoan and so they had us do the Haka with them.  It was really fun.   Elder Vaivaka led it out while I struggled to keep up in the back.   Yesterday, the two people from New York that we have been teaching came to church.  They  really enjoyed the first and second hour.  It's fun talking to them because it reminds...
