October 10, 2016 Hurricane Matthew Survivor

Hello Friends and Family, I am still alive. I survived Hurricane Matthew. In Gaffney, we got a whole 3 inches of rain and a little bit of wind. In other words, it wasn't much of a storm. I haven't heard much, but the missionaries down in the lowlands are probably going to be doing a lot of hurricane cleanup. I still don't know if I will be headed down to do anything, though. 

Something else cool that I got to do this week was work in the local soup kitchen. We made a bunch of hot dogs, chili, and macaroni. It ended up being a really good opportunity to meet people as they were coming in. I don't know if any of the pass along cards that we handed out will go anywhere, but I hope it will. 

One of the coolest things that has happened this week is that the efforts that Elder Wille and I have put into looking for people to teach by referrals have paid off. We set a lofty goal of 4 referrals for the week, and we ended up with 6. To put into perspective exactly how awesome that is, 2 referrals for the whole week was a good week. It is amazing to see what prayer will do to help us solve our problems and meet our goals. 

Anyhow, I hope that y'all are doing well. I pray for y'all every day.
