Elder Jaren Brown: Eclipse and Ticks!

This week was excellent yet again. We had a lot of teaching appointments and member dinners. We also had exchanges with Lawrenceville this week. The exchange was.....interesting. It wasn't a particularly good exchange for me, although I still learned a lot. I suppose it was just different. We didn't do a whole lot of proselyting because of some things that came up and appointments and such.

We have a baptism coming up Saturday. Gloria has made her decision, and I am so excited for her! We have had a bit of success finding, and some good lessons. I love seeing people progress, and start to make positive changes in their life. Especially when they start to recognize the spirit and apply the atonement in their lives.

Today is the day of the big Eclipse, which should be cool. Also, I found my first tick today! Fun fun. Not. We have some cool monuments in our area, so I have attached a couple pics of those. Anyway, I am still loving the work of the Lord, and dreading the day when my trainer goes home. I'm sure my next companion will be great too, but we have become good friends, and I will certainly miss him. The days keep counting down as the work progresses.
