I was able to sit at the Prophets feet

                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
