Well
it's been another great week, I was able to see President Cotterell for the last
time as a missionary at a Zone Conference. The new mission president comes in
on the 28th of this month his name is President Bernhisel. It’s a
really weird thought….. haha it all feels like it's not really happening.
We have been working hard to find those to teach and we found this nice
lady. She was a past potential investigator that didn’t ever remember talking
to the missionaries before, and she just became a catholic but is still looking
for Christ church. Then there was a young man that was a referral from a
member, he just graduated from high school this last week, and has read the book of
mormon but he didn’t understand to much about what was in it. We were able to
help him with that, so things are picking up in the great Roanoke Rapides! I
also had my last exchange with Elder Koplin who was the first missionary I
trained and he is now my district leader. It was a lot of fun to be work with him.
I have been thinking a lot about what kind of effect my mission has had on me
and it's really amazing to me to think how much I have changed and what a great
2 years this has been. It realy feelis like I'm just going to be a missionary
forever, and I don’t think it will hit until……….so any way this last week…… haha
Sacrament meeting was very special, elder Williams was the first speaker
and he talked about some hard events that have happened in his family's life.
His family is on Mormon.org it’s the video about the drunk driver hitting
their car. I would recommend it all. The rest
of the meeting just kept getting better there was a lot of tears in it, and
a lot of it was about missionary work. (http://www.lds.org/pages/mormon-messages?lang=eng#forgiveness-my-burden-was-made-light)
We have two missionaries that will be
leaving soon on their missions and one that is coming home at the end of this
month so it was really good.
We taught part of “sharing time” in primary.
It was on tithing so we had a few of the boys that wanted to be missionaries some day,
role play teaching me about tithing! It was a lot of fun and exciting.
The
youth in the ward a really funny. I think everyone of them have told me how
their going to either dunk or shoot over me, or just how their going to beat me
really bad in basketball……and I have found out that my smack talk is really bad
now!!! haha But if these boys could play as good as they talked then we would have
our own NBA allstar team. Its really funny!
I
love you all and I hope you have a great week too!!!!
LOVE
ELDER MAUGHAN
