We Watched Conference at a Member's Home

April 8, 2013

We watched conference at a member’s home, our ward mission leader on Saturday, and then the stake President came over, then on Sunday just some members of the ward. It’s weird to have to sit and watch conference in a tie instead of comfy clothes, it made it a lot easier to stay awake. It’s good to hear that Shelli is doing a little better. Preparation days are a little boring in Clayton. In Goldsboro there were three sets of elders so we’d do our shopping and then play basketball at the church. Here in Clayton there is only Elder Melander and I and the church isn’t in our area. Plus since we don’t have a car, shopping takes a little longer. So most of our day is spent walking or riding to a store, and then we clean our apartment and just relax. We found a neat little bike trail that’s paved and goes thru the woods and stuff, so we might go riding around. But other than that there isn’t too much to do. I’ll get a good pic of me this week for you and send it next week, I have super bad helmet hair right now. Oh ya I forgot  I was going to take pictures of the apartment this week, I’ll send them next week as well. Ya our house is hard to find in real life as well, it is behind another house. It didn’t rain that much at all, just the normal NC rain. Not too much happened this week, we have been spending a lot of time with ward members and recent converts, and we had a trainers meeting that took up all of Thursday. And then this week we have an activity zone conference on Thursday. But it’s been nice to be an all bike area, I feel like we pass by so much in a car, so it’s nice to slow down and talk with everyone and take everything in. We had a North Carolina feast this week for dinner. A member brought us fried chicken, baked beans, hush puppies, potato salad, East Carolina BBQ, lemonade, and pecan pie. It was delicious! Well love ya, talk to you next week.
