5/28/18... Brought to ya courtesy of: The Red White and Blue! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It's a miracle!!!  President just said we could go to this Knights game for Memorial Day! 

We had another super busy week here in da good ol queen city! This week was exchanges and we survived exchanges, which was pretty expected. It will be super interesting to see what happens this next transfer.  The end of this transfer is June 27th. I think Elder Anderson could stay and just take my place when I leave or he could get transferred and a new elder comes in, either way I think I'll be in a trio until the end of my mission! Crazy haha. 

A lot happened this week and I guess a lot didn't happen...we had a lot of things fall through, we haven't been able to get in contact with May and that family at all.  They've kind of been dodging us, unfortunately. We did kind of have a miracle with that though--A lady had ordered a Book of Mormon online so we went to deliver it to her. She was super interested in learning more, she lives in the same neighborhood as May. We go to knock on May's door one day to see if she is home and I look over and she is waving us over. So we walk down there and she had been telling all her friends about it and we ended up teaching one of her friends right there. Somehow we keep finding all these pregnant women though lol. That lady is about to have a baby so it'll probably hard to teach her regularly. 

Hmm let's see what else.... We taught Sandra a few times this week. She is progressing but not very fast, she didn't come to church yesterday and we don't really know why sooo that was kind of a bummer. 

We got a referral Friday from some other elders at the same place that we almost got shot last Friday and we had an appointment at night with him....He missed that appointment too so we didn't stay in there too long. Also when we drove in there, there was a black Israelite preacher with his speakers preaching and idk If y'all know about the Black Israelites but they hate white people and especially hate white Christian missionaries. I think they think we are the embodiment of Satan or something so we got out of there right quick. 

Our car is in the shop this week so we 're driving the assistants 12 seater van! It's a beast.  haha it's so fun driving that thing around. We drove to Gastonia on Saturday for a baptism of a lady that Elder Hull taught. And I just passed out in the back row on the way home-- it was a tender mercy. 

Reading the Book of Mormon has made me so much more patriotic! For those of you who don't know, the Book of Mormon takes place in ancient America (North and South America) and the Lord promises the people that if they serve the God of the Land who is Jesus Christ that they will be a free nation and won't be taken into captivity but will prosper. Knowing this has made me love America a lot. Ether Chapter 1 talks a lot about it if you want to read it today. I'll always be grateful for those that died for our freedom. #Murica! 

Overall it was a tough week but that's alright we got next week, and this is the Lord's work so it'll all work out!

I got to give a shootout to PJ for just being a stud, killin it in track! Then I got to give a shout out to SHS baseball for hanging some banners! And a shout out to Ellie for being a stud too!


Love y'all
Love you mom!
-Elder Morgan
