Monday news...

Hello, Things have been kind of rainy in Georgia, but it hasn't been too bad. We've been riding the bikes, which is actually really fun. Besides the rain though the weather has been pretty nice. Things are pretty interesting with another set of Elders here in Lawrenceville, but everything is going well. Elder Thacker and I have noticed a substantial change in the amount of people we've been finding as we've tried to follow the council of our Mission President. We've found some good investigators rescently, and have begun teaching quite a few, and are still working on beginning the teaching on some of them. We're starting to get excited about the mission tour coming up from Elder Hafen, which is the reason we've been doing this Book of Mormon reading challenge. We're trying to prepare as a mission for him to come here and instruct us. We had an amazing Zone Conference this week where we discovered the importance of actually planning vs. scheduling. We went out and proselyted for 3 hours, and found 52 new investigators in the area which is more than the entire mission usually finds in a week. Crazy!!! but it was amazing, and Presdent King was very straightforward with us and told us we were basically not working hard enough, then he had us prove it with that activity. I think pretty much everyone walked away stunned needless to say. I thank you all for your birthday wishes/cards/letters, they were all very nice. I hope you all are doing well, ttys Elder Hughes
