Dogs

Hey everyone!


Sorry y'all didn't get an email last week, that was my bad. You didn't really miss out on anything, just that the mission leadership set the goal to find 1,000 new people in a month. We're all excited to see how it works out!


This week was a whole lot more eventful though. We had a zone conference on Tuesday in person! It was a great meeting and we talked more about our goals. I also ran into Sis. Abby Larkin! President was kinda confused about having an Elder and Sister Larkin, it was hilarious haha.


The rest of the week was very busy. On Friday, a funny story, I got bit by a dog. We were out for our morning run at 6:30 in the morning, and all of a sudden three pretty big dogs came tearing out of a house! One of them got me, and we wound up at insta care to make sure I didn't get an infection. Fast forward to yesterday, we decided to give their owners a call. We had their contact info and they were very nice about everything that happened, so we figured, why not give them a call? Long story short, we have an appointment with them next week. The Lord works in mysterious ways. 


In terms of a spiritual thought, I just finished President Monson's biography. It really emphasizes reaching out to the one. There are a lot of lonely people, especially those that are still social distancing. So, I'd like to challenge you all to reach out to someone new and make a new friend. We all need good friends and to feel loved. 


Because I recently got a new phone, I haven't been able to transfer all of my pictures over yet. I do have a couple, but you'll get more next week.


I love you all! Have a great week!

Thomas (the guy in the middle) was baptized into our ward on Sunday! Elder Empey did his interview and he took us out for hot dogs and shakes (very west virginian).
Also, at the zone conference I ran into Sis. Larkin! Super awesome!
