Hey y’all, it was another busy week here in NC.

The highlight of the week was probably from Thursday on.

Thursday night we drove over to Cherokee and spent the night with Elder Buhrley and Elder Farley.  Then the next day I went out and worked with Buhrley, who is a really cool dude. We get along really well, so it was fun.  Then that night Elder Scott and I  headed up through Gatlinburg and Sevierville on the way to Knoxville. It's always fun to see my first area, even if just driving through.  Then that night we got to the Assistants’ apartment.

Saturday, we spent the day working their area. I was with Elder Harris, who I've actually been on like 6 exchanges with, Haha. But we had a pretty good day together.

Not too much else to report on, but everything is going well here!

Well this week was pretty interesting, but we had some fun things happen.

We were totally out of miles (40 over our allotment) so we have been on foot.  Everything within 2 miles of our apartment has been tracted already, so we had a lot of time out in the 90 degree humid weather, Haha. But it was still good, we taught some really great lessons, so it was worth it.

We had the Asheville elders down for exchanges,and I went with Elder Fox. We were only companions for about 8 days total last transfer, but I still think he was one of my favorite companions, so it was fun with him.

On Sunday night we ate dinner with a member who is also a chiropractor, so he gave us a free adjustment, which was pretty cool.

Other than that, just another busy week of walking. Hope everyone has a good one.
