Sorry about last week. It was a crazy new week with a new area and new companion. I am now in Jackson GA. My companion is Elder Mascarenas. Elder Mascarenas was serving in Sierra Leone before the Ebola out break, then came to our mission.
Jackson it a pretty cool place. It’s about the size of Salem but the area covers a lot. It’s about the size of Calhoun when it comes to [geographic] size. But there is no Walmart near by..... so instead we have Piggly Wiggly or Ingles to shop at which are both Southern grocery stores. Jackson is a branch. We have about 60 people come to church. But the kicker is, our meeting house is a store building in a strip mall!!! It’s weird pulling up to church, but when you walk in it’s like your in normal church building, just a lot smaller. This Sunday I had the chance to give a talk about missionary work and it was really awesome. Branches are awesome to be in!
We have been working with a young man who is looking to get baptized. The problem is that he doesn't understand the meaning of one true church, which is a problem for missionaries in the south. A lot of churches here will let you move your records to any other church. So if you were baptized Baptist and you want to be Methodist or something else you just move your records and you’re good. So we will have a lot of investigators be like, Hey I want to join your church. How do I bring my records over to yours...?” And then we have to talk about that. But we are working with him. He just needs to come to church and he will be ready.
Love you all!!!!
