Another Busy Week in NC


We had a pretty dang busy week this week!
Mon:
We had a good Pday with the district at the church. Then we went and taught a man named Juan Sesa, who is from Mexico. We had a great lesson with him, and he wants to be baptized. He just needs to come to church.  Then that night we went up to downtown Asheville to spend the night with the Elders in the mansion.  The mansion is famous in the mission because it is a huge 2 story house, with a basement and attic. And only 2 Elders live there.
Tue:
Today started at 4:00am when we woke up, got ready and headed out.  We picked up the Sister training leaders in Weaverville and headed up to Knoxville for MLC (Mission leadership council).  It was a really good meeting.  It is a time for all the ZL's and STL's in the mission to get together with President and Sister Pickett and the Assistants and discuss what is happening in each of our zones, and present goals and plans for this upcoming transfer. 
Wed:
Today was mostly a lot of bouncing around in our area, and talking to a bunch of people we haven’t been able to teach in a while.
It's always easy to pick out Elder Roden in a crowd!

Thu:
Zone conference was at 9am, and since it was in our zone, we were kind of in charge of setting stuff up, and I was supposed to conduct.  It was probably the best zone conference of my mission. The Spirit was extremely strong the whole time and it was just a really productive meeting.  Then later that night we had Stake Correlation (Us, STL's, President Pickett, Stake President), which was a great meeting.

Meeting up with former comps at zone conference

Fri:
We parked the truck because our miles were hurting. And it was a looong hot day.  We were basically tracting from 11:00am to 8:00pm when we got home for dinner, haha. But it was a pretty good day.
Sat:
On Saturday a lady we have been working with named Jean Patton was baptized and that was awesome.


Sun:
Another busy day of calls and filling put reports.

All in all, a pretty good week. Grateful to be here in NC!
