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.

Dane has been gone now for 11 months today. Time really does go so fast! It was great to hear from him today. He seems so happy and is doing great!

This is me at the beach, what a good time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya buddy, ha it was cool! We had a fun day! We have 2 baptism this Saturday and the Spanish Elders are baptizing a family of 6, so we have a total of 8 members to baptize this weekend. We met a way cool guy last Tuesday and he read the whole Book of Mormon by Saturday. The best part is... he is getting baptized on 11/11/2011 MY B-DAY, YA BUDDY!!!!!!!!! Not much else is new here! I am loving the Book of Mormon!!! Read it!!!

It was stake conference this past weekend! We are going too play basketball today. I have been running 5 miles a day for the past 8 days, except Sunday! I guess I am a runner! Things are great here! Stay safe and remember to read the Book of Mormon!!

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!

What a long week. I had a ingrown toe nail and a tooth ache in the same week. I went to the dentist and found out I need a root canal.
Transfers are Wednesday and I am getting a new missionary to train.... it will be fun. I am loving the ward and the area it is really cool!

This is me in the great city of Myrtle Beach. We had a baptism on the 17th and hopefully another one on the 24th. There are lots of fun things to do here. It is a lot like Utah. I love it!
The picture of me in the ugly sweater with my pant leg rolled up is where I wrecked on my bike. You really can't tell but I tried to jump a river on my bike and didn't make it.
It was a fun week and there are lots of baptisms coming up in my district. The sister missionaries have two baptisms this week and the Spanish elders have one. Then on October 8th we have 17 people scheduled to be baptized. That will break a record if we baptize that many in one weekend. It will be sweet!

I love it here in Myrtle Beach!!!! We have a baptism this Saturday and then two the following week. Being a missionary is the greatest.

Last week Dane sent a letter home to everyone. It was great to get a letter we could sit down and read. He said, "Today we were getting food and stuff at Wal-mart when a member visiting from North Carolina came up and handed us $100 dollar gift card to Wal-mart!!! We were all really low on money because it was the end of the month and were trying to get stuff that was super cheap and nasty! But it was truly a blessing that he was there when we needed it the very most. I know it is a blessing from the Lord! This church is true!!! Don't ever forget it!"

One of our favorite parts of a letter we recently received said....Dad and Mom, I GET IT!!!!!! These are the greatest words a parent could hear from a missionary...the lord truly has blessed us all!
