Well this week was definitely my "initiation" if you will into the south. We went tracting up and down all sorts of back country roads, we helped pick cotton (yup, i even got a picture), and ate all sorts of weird southern foods. It was really good though, we got 2 new investigators, and had 8 investigators come to church, and set up another baptism date, so we have 2 in November, and 1 in December, so things in the mission are going really well. It's already been 1 month, 23 to go, and the time is starting to fly by already. The days are going by really really fast. I definitely love it here. The area is so so so so green, although it is starting to change colors, and there are old tobacco barns and old buildings all over the countryside just covered in ivy, it is really really beautiful. I miss Saint George though, I never realized how much I liked it till I came out here, but now I do :) But I am loving the mission, and loving the people I serve, and I'm so grateful to the Lord for letting me be his servant out here in North Carolina. I love you all,
