This week was great! We had lots of fun, of course! First we'll start with April fools days. We had zone meeting that day so on the way back we stopped in an area before leaving New Bern to let the Harkers Island missionary's experience the 'kick yourself' machine in New Bern that I knew about. It was pretty funny! haha Then we stopped in Havelock where those missionary's told us they were not going to be home. So we went and moved all their beds into their attic without them knowing and left them there. So that was quite enjoyable! haha Then we drove home haha.
But this week we had some good experiences teaching people. We were able to set a girl named Ashley a date for May 14th. We're hoping that still works out, as she is not the most solid person we are teaching. So hopefully we can get her to church! Hunter is still doing good, we sent the Raleigh missionary's over to his moms house to answer her questions and to help her agree to have Hunter baptized! So we're just waiting on a response from them and from Hunter's mom! But, we are praying that he will be baptized this Saturday! John is doing great as usual! We finally found out he knows it's true! His only hold up is his wife! We got into a bash with her a little bit and he stood up for the Book of Mormon and the church, so that was crazy to see! We just don't want there to be division between him and his wife.. We also found out that this will be his first time going to church with out his wife.. So we're working through that concern. He did listen to conference on his way home from where he was picking up his car. He loved it! He listened to almost the whole conference, until he lost reception! But he told us he is dying for us to show him how to watch it so he can watch the other sessions! But otherwise that was pretty much our week.
This past p-day we went to Fort Macon which was pretty cool! I have finally started to notice how weird people look at you for being in dress cloths on the beach... They think your some kind of fool.. It's pretty funny! haha Yes, missionarys go to the outer banks! It used to be a sisters only area, because of the temptation elders would have being on the beach all day, but they recently opened it to elders and took the sisters out. Which like blew every missionary's mind haha. The east coast has some waves... nothing like chasing mavericks on Pebble Beach where we used to live, but the water is warm so that makes up for it. It's interesting serving in a surf town.. there's nothing to do.. Like, there's surf shops everywhere, people barefoot riding long boards and skate boards.. funky. Not my kind of town.. haha For fun, people go to the ocean, when people are bored, they go to the ocean.. super weird.. haha I prefer Arizona so much more, but it's cool to ride around feeling like you're on vacation! :) So this makes up for me missing out on Newport Beach. Or... are you guys missing out on Emerald Isle, and Atlantic beach? :) I think your missin out! But anyway! I hope all is well! I love you all!
