Man what a week. It’s been so good with 4 elders here. There is a lot of work
getting done and I must
say that conference was the best I ever had. I really enjoyed all of it and i feel like I was
able to have a lot of personal revelation on how I can become better and a stronger
missionary. I also must say i really enjoy conference a lot more when I’m
siting at the Church and I must say that the Rocky Mount ward has the right idea,
after the Sunday morning of conference we had a potluck and it was so good. Them
southerns know how to cook and just so you know there was about 6 different types of chicken
haha. But i loved it all and to me all the talks where directed right at me. I
love the ward I’m here, there all so great and really feel like family. This
weekend was one of the greatest weekends on my mission; the spirit was so
strong as I was able to sit at the feet of a prophet.
Then
yesterday night we went over to bishops house for his birthday and it was a lot
of fun. So the elders quorum president and I were talking a lot and something
that was brought up more than once was North Carolina State ( one of the
colleges here) the wolf pack. We talked about their basketball team and how I
should go to the school and then everyone there was telling me that they would
love for me to go there...... so I have been swayed a little towards becoming a
part of the pack haha. I really do love
it out here and I don’t think i would mind it at all, but i still don't know.
It is something to look into. The thing that I do know is that in order to go
anywhere I would have to get bigger I’m still 6 10 but I’m only 210 pounds so
there is something to do when I’m home but I’m not worried about it right now. It’s
all in the Lords hands.
Another great thing is Nate is getting baptized this week and he is just great
and is doing missionary work right and left.
We were able to get in contact with William and he came to most of the
conference sessions and as we talked with him he has just been working really
hard with school and everything...... but i feel like there is more that he isn’t
telling us. We have a lesson with him this evening and I’m just glad he is back
it made me feel really happy.
The
church is so true and I’m so glad that I’m a missionary. I just love it here in North Carolina and
even more so now that the heat is gone… haha that makes things a lot better.
That was most of the week; we have been making a lot of calls and are starting
to get into a lot more less active homes and teaching more there. So the work
is moving forward! I wish I could write about how I feel but all that I can
really say is that I’m really happy and so grateful for the Lord!
I hope you are all doing good and enjoyed conference too! Stay
healthy, stay strong and stay happy
Love ELDER MAUGHAN
