Rejection after rejection and sweet members.

My week was pretty good we had a couple of good lessons. Some stories so far in Asheville; we've had crazy conversations with ignorant liberals and it is really annoying. We had Pres. Thomas and his family in our branch yesterday and they gave some really good talks. We have one really good investigator and she knows the church is true but she's going through a rough time and everything, but she will eventually get baptized. I like the ward here way better than I did in Danville there are some sweet members here and they are way cool, but there isn't really any cool stories yet because about everyday here is rejection after rejection, maybe every once and a while we get a good potential investigator. I'll tell ya some sweet stories when there are some.

Luv yall

Have a good week

Come what may and love it!

Sounds like yall had fun at the thanksgiving dinner. What I enjoyed about danville was there were some really cool members and there was a lot of people to talk to and I had a lot of success there I think there is just one ward in Asheville and a few not far from it. Something I've learned from my mission is our mission pres or someone said "Come what may and love it". I like that a lot. As far as spiritual experiences, just reading the scriptures and gaining a better understanding of the gospel. I havent talked in church yet. Yeah the Biltmore Estate is close to us, its like 10 minutes away from our house and it looks really nice and we'll probably go there sometime. Our house has 8 rooms and its way sweet. Wow it doesnt even seem like AJ and Andrew have been gone that long. I don't really have those problems that Pres Uchtdorf talked about. But we're probably in one of the hardest areas in the mission. Thats way sweet about Bishop Stones, he's a really good guy. Tell Delbert and his fam hi for me.

We are in a car share and were the only elders in Asheville, I think. Guess what? We are eating dinner with David Baldwin, your Greenie from your mission, on Thanksgiving, its pretty sweet. I like this area better than Danville the members are way cool here and the town is really nice but theres not a whole lot of good people to talk to since they''re all liberal and there's a lot of college students here. Oh tell Miranda a really late happy b-day from me and that I love her. I forgot about it cuz of the wedding and mission stuff, so tell her sorry. Well hope yall have a good week.

Luv Ya,

Transferred to Asheville, NC

Hey Mom and Dad

Last week was pretty good. Transfers were this week and I got transferred to Asheville, NC and its pretty cool. My new comp is Elder Lott and he's pretty cool. People call it the San Fransisco of the east cuz pretty much everyone is gay here. A funny experience we had was we were tracting and we walked up to this guy with a couple of dogs and when we stood up hes like oh yall are Mormons? So we asked him wat he knew about us and he said "yall are &!@#$%^ crazy, bigetous and hateful people, other than that nothing." It was pretty funny this dude was gay so me and my comp were laughing for a while. Theres not a lot of people to teach here but we found a pretty solid gator yesterday which was way cool. The members here are way cool and I like the ward a little better than Danville. Sounds like yall had fun with everyone gone. Thanx for all the advice Dad it was good alright. I'll be looking for my package soon.

Have a good week

Luv yall Elder Goods

Hello Ya'll

Everyday we wake up and go play some bball, come back to study, go out and visit poeple and tract. That's what we do all day and members are not feeding us, so not a lot of stuff happening. I don't know what we're gonna do for thanksgiving yet, I'll probably be in a new area so I don't know.

Now life is normal for yall now that everything has happened. haha

Well it's all good here in Danville we're teaching a lot but we haven't really found any golden people so its a little tough but things happen. Me and Elder Ramsey made a missionary rap song I'll send it soon. It's tight.

I love the Book of Mormon I've already read it twice and I've started on a third time. I love reading it, I learn new things everytime.

I wish I could've been there for the wedding but Shayanna's right, I'm where I need to be. I'm sure the temple was awesome. Hows does Shayanna feel about all of this?

Hope yall have a good week. Luv yall
