It's Definitely A Lot Different Than The Suburbs!


Hello Everybody! I hope you have had a good week! This past week in McConnellsburg, it has been fairly warm on some days. True to a mission experience, our apartment has no air conditioning, save one AC window unit that only fits in our study room. Thankfully, we have had cooler weather recently, so it hasn't been sweltering hot. The rolling hills and farmlands of Pennsylvania finally rewarded us with a new investigator! McConnellsburg hasn't had a new investigator in months, so this was a welcome change! His name is Mike and he is fairly older and works his own little metal recycling business. We were finally able to see him last week and teach him some of the Restoration, but unfortunately, it's been somewhat tricky getting in with him lately.  We are hoping to stop by at some point this week and see if we can finish teaching him about the Restoration!
Something fun that happened this week was working at the Cejika family farm! I chopped some wood and use a scythe to clear some weeds. It’s definitely a lot different than the suburbs that I'm used too! I was also able to pet this turkey that they have and it ended up following me everywhere on the farm! It was pretty humorous. Elder Harvey and I are hoping to go to the outskirts of our area this week and try to find some more people to teach. I hope you have a great week!

We were looking through Ensigns at the church and found her picture in there! Super funny!

Text from member states: These awesome Elders are both being transferred this week!
We've sure enjoyed having them serve in the Winters Run ward!
