Shallotte Adventures with Sister Behrmann

My new companion is Sister Behrmann. She is amazing! Her last companion was Sister Draper, who was my companion last September. Sister Behrmann has been out for 6 months and she has an amazing love for the work and great diligence! We have a lot of fun and a lot of adventures together. She is from Mesa, AZ and spent one year at BYU. She actually was in the same ward as Matt last Spring in Provo!

​

On Tuesday we went to Raleigh. The Cheney's drove us and we had so much fun talking for all 6 hours we were in the car! It was a 3 hour drive there, and 3 hours back. We didn't have time to do much else that day.

Wednesday we went to district meeting in the morning. Some of the elders in the district are very.... interesting to work with. Let's just say that this transfer is going to be full of awkwardness in District Meeting. After lunch at Burg-Dog, we went to the Library to do Facebook and some service. We ended up talking with a gentleman for an hour and a half, so we didn't really get to do any service. 

Thursday we had lunch in Calabash before going to the Thrift Store to do service and then Sarah Hearn met us and came to our lesson with Brother Evans. She is just amazing! She has really embraced the gospel and let it change her for the better.

Friday we did our weekly planning. After that we went to visit Brother Coffey and tried some referrals. We taught a woman named Kim and have another appointment with her this week. She has been through a lot in her life and I pray that she will see the hope and truth in the gospel and embrace it into her life.

Friday night we had dinner with the Wilson and Sanchez families. We made Sushi and other Asian food. It was the best!!! I love spending time with those families!

​

I promise I did some of the work, Sister Sanchez just never took a picture of it! 

Saturday we did lots of vists and I'm running out of time so I can't tell you everything. But we had LOTS of adventures down some dirt roads and knocking on some sketchy looking doors. Being a missionary is fun!!! 

One thing I do want to mention is that we gave Hazel a Book of Mormon this week. We gave her the copy that had Aly's testimony in it. And Hazel told me to tell Aly that she "made an old lady very happy." Thank you Aly for sharing your testimony! You're such a good missionary already!

Love y'all lots! Have a "blessed week."
