Week 5 in Wilmington: A Busy Week

This week was good! We found 2 people this week! Hopefully, they'll progress. 

We went to the beach last week for our district activity. I got soaked from falling into the water. We are only allowed to go up to our knees in the water. While we were out there, another Elder and I started wrestling. We both just ended up falling in, we were drenched! We played some ultimate football on the beach. It was just a super fun Pday!




We then went on exchange Monday night through Wednesday morning with the Hampstead elders. And, another exchange Wednesday through Thursday with the Zone leaders. I was in the Zone leaders area with Elder Baird. We went to check on a referral, and when we showed up, they were actually there! They let us in and we answered a ton of questions. Most of which were just misconceptions about Mormons. They also gave us cake! Afterward, we had a lesson with one of their investigators, Fred. He's super cool and is getting baptized in a week, or two.

We have a zone conference coming up about using Facebook in missionary work. In order to go to that zone conference, we need to have transferred our paper area book into our digital one. We have been devoting a lot of time to that because our area book is still full! We still have 100-150 records to do, the conference is tomorrow. Hopefully, we can pound those out tonight!

Saturday we went to Ogden (Ogden, NC not Ogden, UT). We found an apartment complex and started tracting there. That's where we found out 2 new people. We are without a car since it's bike week, so we are trying to find members who will drive us back there to teach them. 

Sunday was a normal Sunday. We went to church and worked.

Monday, we went into Wrightsville and tracted there. No success. But, it was really nice! It's by the ocean in our area, so lots of nice beach houses! 

Working hard in Wrightsville

Well, that was my week! We get transfer news this week, since transfers are next week. I'll let you know next week!!

Love, Elder Merritt
