Week 3 in Durham 2: Temple Trip!

Hi, All!

We had a really good week! We only found 1 new person to tech this week, but he'll be at the end of the letter. 

Wednesday we had our Zone Conference and our Temple trip. It was pretty awesome! Temple trips are the thing we all look forward to. Sad thing is, they are closing the Raleigh temple in January of 2018 for renovation. So next year there won't be any temple trips. 

Thursday we had a planning meeting. That's always sooo much fun! Just kidding, not really, but it is a necessary evil. We also went to TROSA. It's a giant thrift store that has everything known to man in there. It had a Philadelphia Eagles clock for only 2 bucks! I bought it! Now, I have my wall looking a little more fancy. 

On Saturday, we went to Brother Cummings home to help with some landscaping. I got to use a pickaxe on t the driveway which was pretty fun! But, since this place is so humid and hot, we were all drenched in sweat by the end of the day. Up until this point we hadn't found anyone to teach, but tomorrow was probably the best day of the week!

So, Sunday we had church. Guess who was there? Hannah and Kodaah! It was awesome! Kodaah even brought his friend to church. He's already doing missionary work! During church, the Sister missionaries gave us a referral that they couldn't see because he was a single guy.His name is Bobby. After church, we went to see if Booby was home. We knocked on his door and he let us in! We started to get to know him and he told us why he was wanting to find a new church. We taught him the Restoration. He really liked it and wanted to be baptized! We set a date with him for July 29th! We get to back and see him on Tuesday. 

Well, that was my week! Talk to all next week!

Love, Elder Merritt
