This week, as we come to the end of the month, we are trying to make the best use of our many miles, so we went on some fun long drives to the far parts of the area. We mostly ran into members who politely told us they no longer wanted anything to do with us, which was a little sad. But it was quite scenic.
Things picked up later in the week. On Friday, we had zone conference, which is always excellent! We practiced a lot letting the Book of Mormon speak for itself. Because, well, no matter how eloquent we are, we can't quite match the prophets. It really reinforced my testimony that if some one reads the Book of Mormon, really reads it, there can be bo doubt that it is the word of God.
After zone conference we went on exchanges, and I got to go to Greensboro with Sister Miller! They teach only young single adults, so their area is freakishly enormous. The first night we got to teach a young man from the Congo. He was in therocess of learning English as a third language, so it was a bit of a challenge to teach him, but he has amazing faith. The next morning we saw a young woman who had an amazing testimony. I almost wish I could stay to teach them!We exchanged back after lunch and went back to work.
On Sunday we had a mission president's fireside, the first one I have been able to come to. The missionaries sang songs and gave short, powerful statements about the Restoration. Then some recent converts bore their testimonies, and President Alexander talkedd a lot about some of the same things we discussed in zone conference. It was very powerful. D also came to church that day, which is exciting!
Today we went to the Greensboro Science Center again, this time with oir district. Also super fun! The weather has been great this week. Unfortunately, summer is not done yet, but it's a start!
Love,
