We had a good week this week. We have 10 people scheduled to baptized in the next 3 weeks and all 10 of them came to church on Sunday. Usually when that happens they are solid.
We get to play a lot of football on Thanksgiving against the ward members. It should be fun. I love Myrtle Beach!

It's My Birthday
This week was a great week.... thanks to all of you guys, you are amazing! I love each and everyone of you. Thank you for the Birthday wishes and gifts. The best surprise was some of my converts from Summerville came to see me for my birthday, it was so awesome I loved it. It was great seeing them and I didn't want them to leave, they are so great they are like family to me. They are planning on going to the temple in February, I'm really excited for them. I hope to be able to share that experience with them.
The picture of the pond is a picture of our view from our back porch here in Myrtle Beach. We have a lot of great things going on her over the next few weeks.
This church is true and the book is blue. Read it!
Love you all,

Well it looks like I will be staying in Myrtle Beach for six more weeks. I was really glad to get this news because I love it here. We are teaching a lot of people and are having great success.
On the 17th I will hit my one year mark. People always say the first month and the half way mark are the hardest. I believe them. I have been missing everyone, but know I am in the right place doing what I should be doing. Sorry no pictures this week we have been really busy. Have a great week. Stay safe and read the Book of Mormon!!!

We had a good week. Nothing much new except we are getting a car because my companion has bad knees. We had a cool thing happen this week. We were asked at the last mintue to go have dinner with this family. We were already booked but told them we would come. We gave a lesson on meeting new people in the ward each week. Sunday the people we ate dinner with were there and introduced themselves to and sat by a new family in the ward. I guess our lesson paid off. It was SICKTER!!
On a bad note I was biking through some trees and got a vine around my neck, it knocked me off my bike and cut my neck. INTENSE!
I love Myrtle Beach.

This is our apartment. We have been having a lot of success. We had 11 less active members come to church yesterday who had not been to church in over 2 years. It was a great day, in fact we had a gator get up and share her testimony about how she knew the church is true. It was really neat.
There are a lot of good things going on in Myrtle Beach. I love it here. I just started the Book of Mormon over today and I am going to read it in 25 days. That is about 30 pages a day. I love the Book of Mormon.

Conference was GREAT! I really loved the Priesthood session! We were able to listen to a live broadcast in the Stake Center. This week has been really busy, I got a new companion to train on Wednesday. He is Elder Arvidson from Bountiful. He is new from the MTC. He is a great missionary that is so eager and willing to learn. I am really going to miss Elder Wilkinson, he was a wonderful missionary too.
Last week we had a baptism. It was a special baptism to me because when I was in Summerville Elder Tran and I taught this couple. The wife was baptized, but the husband was not. I left Summerville and they moved to Myrtle Beach. When I was transferred here to Myrtle Beach they were in my ward. It was great to see them again and I was able to baptize the husband.
Well, my tooth is feeling better. I get a root canal on the 19th of October. The weather has really changed and started to cool down. We have a baptism planned for this Saturday. As a district we have 14 on the books for the next few weeks and hope they don't drop off.
Well have a great week, I love you all. Stay safe!
