Hey there!
Asheville North Carolina! What a
beautiful city! I’m here with my new companion Elder Bryce Wollums and we
are already off to a great start! I sure loved my last area, Poplar Creek West,
but its nice to have so many people in our teaching pool. We have taught more
people (mostly less active members and recent converts) in the last 5 days or
so than I have the last 6 months in Poplar Creek West put together haha! Crazy
how different everything is. It is also definitely the largest city I have
served in up to this point. Our days are jam packed with great people to
teach and our zone is really doing stellar as well, we have the most baptismal
dates in the mission right now, which is quite exciting.
I’m still lost trying to drive
around, and also lost as far as the people we see goes, there are so many
new people to learn. We are in the Asheville central branch and the members
are fantastic! They are so focused on missionary work and are working hard to
find us people to teach and help us go out and teach people already found. I’m
really looking forward to being here and its weird that I’ll probably only have
one more area after this one!
Oh, another cool thing is that we
live in the old Asheville central branch building next door to the church. It is
an old house from the 1920's and its huge! We have a whole huge house to
ourselves, kinda creepy actually. It's hunted apparently... but it's all good!
They call it the "branchion" it being a mansion for missionaries and
its also the branch.
Well The work is really moving and
we are hoping to have a couple people committed for baptism coming up soon. Thanks
for everything! love ya!
