Going Good

Its going a little slow right now but I'm gunna to my best to change that.
The Lord is helping our family out so much it's amazing.
I'll be praying really hard for you and the family.
Ya that is so wierd that the other Marshall Goodrich is coming out here to the same mission. That is so crazy, high school all over again that is so funny haha I cant believe it. It's awesome though.
Things are going pretty good here in Huntersville but its a little rough with my comp, he's a good elder he just isnt focused and its just hard sometimes but I'm doing the best I can here to help him stay focused.
Its pretty sweet being sr comp and Pres Thomas is talking to me about a lot of missionary stuff and its really cool. He's a great mission pres.
Thats really cool about Cameron, although its crazy that the day has finally come for him.
My favorite memory from last week was probably zone conference. It was really great learned alot. Then the next day we had Elder Gonzalez from the 70 come and talk to us and it was really good. He taught us some things that will be really useful in the mission and I got to see a lot of mission buddies I havent seen for a while so its was really cool.
Hope yall have a good week luv yall

Transferred to Huntersville

My favorite memory of the week was transfers:) haha. I finally got outta there. I was way happy but I miss the branch there, they were way cool.
I got transferred to Huntersville, its a really rich place and really nice so its pretty cool.
Its just raining a lot here thats about it but the weather is pretty good. I've read my patriarchal blessing a few times so far,its really good advice.
A good thing that happened in Asheville was the last day I was there our investigator Lori, we kinda lost contact with her cuz she moved but we were in Hillcrest and we saw her there it was a blessing cuz she told us she moved out and that she can be baptized now so that was way cool. Ya I need to be more like that, lose myself completely out here.
Thanx for everything yall do, luv ya

Church was cancelled.

Thats sweet that you were able to go to the temple. I miss going to the temple, all we do for pday is chill with the other elders and play bball and football its way fun.
In our video, HWP means hot-wife-points haha its just a missionary thing and ftb is find-teach-baptize.
That is way cool that Alex got baptized. Ya I know im working through the tough times, but transfers are this week so im pumped and hopefully things will work out...I'm praying.
I'm doing the best I can and know that he will help me out in tough times. Church was cancelled yesterday cause of all the snow and ice on the roads, so i read the whole "our search for happiness" book and its way good. I learned a lot from it.
I hope my prayers are answered as well. Yep I figured out the reason I am still with him a while ago. You know how I've always had patience and tolerance and these 3 months have helped me a lot and I've grown so I'm kinda thankful for this experience if you know what I mean. haha
My favorite memory of last week probably was we started teaching a couple of former investigators and they feel its true since this is like the 2nd or 3rd time we've started teaching them so that was cool and finally our investigator Lillian who we've been teaching for a couple of months now and she finally told us she knows Joseph Smith was a prophet and that there's nothing from stopping her in learning and joining the church so that was way cool.
Oh I might remeber Micheal Dumas, but cant put a face to him thats sweet though.
No I havent heard from Elder Ramsey yet. Ya he was really cool and we got along great and we had a good time together. I wish I couldve served with him longer but oh well. Did everyone like the videos? everyone around the mission has heard it, the assistants, ZL, Pres Thomas and they all love it its pretty sweet.
The Biltmore Estate was pretty sweet and it was free for us. There is a guy that loves the missionaries and he's rich so he takes us out when he's not travelling the world.
I'm doing good
Luv ya ttyl
