Well, things here in the mission are going great, I've had my first full week as a trainer with my new companion Elder Brewer, which has been really awesome. He is great, and definitely well prepared to be a missionary. We had another baptism this last Friday, which went really really well. I can't even express the feelings of gratitude I have to my Heavenly Father for all of the success he has been blessing us with. This last Friday was my 7th baptism out here in North Carolina, and I am so thankful for the privilege I have had to teach and help these wonderful people. Today is my 5 month mark. :O The time is going so so fast, I can't believe that I have been out for 5 months. my mission is almost 1/4 over, it seems like I just left. But yeah, things are going really well here, it is finally starting to warm up outside, and the work is going forward better than it ever has here in Greenville, at least than it has in the past couple of decades, so we are so grateful for the blessing it is to be a part of this great work. I love you all,

Love,

Elder Rider
