Hump Day

Hey Y'all!

Well what a week its been! a lot has changed and a lot has happened! I'm happy where I'm at and I am loving my mission more and more everyday! crazy to think that I hit my year mark this week! 365 days in the service of the lord! I look back at all that has happened this past year and I can't help but feel grateful for all the people I have come in contact with and all of the memories I have made. This Thursday I will begin the second half of my mission and will slowly start dying. I'm looking forward to the next year of my mission and all of the spiritual growth that I will gain from serving our God. This truly is the best work! Oh ya, and then 3 days later ya boi turns 21!!!!!!

Galax is an awesome area! The ward here is great and is super ready to do missionary work and spread the great news that this Gospel has to share. My first day here we had someone feed us for every meal haha it was super cool. The area is a lot different than Vinton in the sense that it's a lot more country feel and has a lot more farms and trees. Its a beautiful area! I cant wait to see what the fall is going to be like!

The work here in Galax is going really well. We have lots of investigators that are really sincere and have a great desire to learn and grow in the Gospel. We have a few investigators that are progressing to baptism right now. This week I get to meet a man named Stan Webb who apparently loves to hunt and fish and all that good stuff so I look forward to meeting him because we will get along great! But ya the area is great. I feel really at home here and feel like Heavenly Father has a lot in store for me here and that I'm really going to turn into the missionary that I need to be here. SO here's to the next few months in Galax!

Nothing too crazy happened this week.. My first day in Galax we went down to one of the places that we do service and Elder Clark and one of the guys played a joke on me. Carl the guy who works there pretended to be a Navy seal and chewed me out for looking at him then started laughing cause I turned red as a tomato. haha it was good, the member that owns the shop just opened up a BBQ restaurant and she feeds us all the time it's great. Some of the best BBQ I have had! Shes feeding us lunch today :)

Well folks I love you all, Remember to lean on your rock which is Christ. He loves you and so do I!!
