The reunion sounds like it will be fun. I will miss being able to do that, it was always a lot of fun to go up there. I miss camping. Mostly I think I miss being able to do nothing. haha I haven't had time to just be lazy in forever. As bad as that sounds. It will be fun to get together with everyone to. I do miss the family a lot. The mission is really great, but I do miss all of you.
Oh, so I forgot to tell this to dad, maybe I'll shoot him another e-mail before I sign off. Guess what we did today? We went over to Durham, to Duke campus, which is a school here in N.C. and we saw Duke Chapel, which is this huge Methodist cathedral, which was really cool. It is huge, like Notre Dame or something like that. But that's not the cool part. After that we went to Duke Library, and guess what they had there? That we could pick up and touch and read and everything? An original copy of the Book of Mormon. It was really really awesome. We even got to take pictures of it, and I have pictures of me holding it, which was really great. So yeah, when you and dad come and pick me up, since we'll be pretty close, we might have to go and look at that Book of Mormon, it was really neat.
We are still teaching 10 people, in fact we are actually teaching a few more than that, we found some more people to teach this week while we were out and about, which is exciting. Now we are just trying to help them all get baptized. They are mostly all coming to church and reading and praying, they just all need to give up smoking. Everyone in North Carolina smokes, and it is hard for them to overcome it all. If all of our investigators would quit smoking, we would have like 10 baptisms in a week haha. But they are trying, they are great people.
Anyway, I gotta go, but I love you and miss you, and the whole family. I hope you all have fun at the reunion!
Love,
Elder Rider
