Very Merry Christmas!!!

Hey y'all that was awesome yesterday!!!!!!!!

I was so excited to see everyone it was super awesome I was so happy!! It was super great to see everyone though. This week was amazing, It has been harder though because you become more and more unfocused with the holidays.  I am more focused now it is great! I really want everyone to know how much I really do love and miss them!! 

Monday-  was interesting we tracted a bunch and it was fun but we really didn't get to many answers on the door but it was all good.  I road a bike without a helmet (because mine was stolen!!) and we got to have dinner at golden corral!!  It was pretty fun and I bought a helmet (aka the one that got stolen later) but it was great to just be out and about but it was super cold like freezing tons!! Elder peseta was almost a pop sickle!! 

Tuesday- We found and investigator named Leigh in the morning and it was awesome because she said she felt like god had sent us to her!! Then I went on an exchange after interviews with President James and those were great!! I went with Elder Nadauld - he is my zone leader and it was tons of fun. This is when I got hit on by this girl wearing just a bra!!  It was so awkward!!! #stillgotgame. It was really cool because we all stayed the night at the zone leaders apartment and we partied!!! (well like a missionary)

Wednesday-  was a crazy day, sadly one of our appointments got cancelled which would have been really good with this family but last minute they had something to do.  That was a bummer but oh well it happens.  We will get them this week! And we finally were able to teach this one lady we met named Kim.  She opened up to us and the spirit was super present in  the lesson and it was so good and it was in the ghetto where I apparently was getting threats about being white that i didn't hear but elder peseta did hahaha!!!  It was funny!! I also opened the shoes I got and they were so gorgeous!!

Thursday- We went to Lafayette for Christmas zone conference and I got to see tons of my friends from up in Cary.  Lots of people that have been transferred away from me so it was really great!!! Tons of people performed music and dances.  It is so cool that we have so many talented people in our mission.  This one elder threw down on the organ it was so crazy!!!! Elder Peseta played the ukulele and it was cool.  He played this mission song and sang with another elder!!! Then our district performed o holy night and Elder Jensen played guitar.  It sounded really good it was quite amazing because we only practiced that morning!!

Friday- My Bike Was Stolen AGAIN with My NEW Helmet!!! I found it and we are going to get it back!! We had a great lesson with our investigator Sylvia.  She is from main land china it is pretty cool to work with her!! Super fun night and then we had dinner with a member and had this massive pizza!!  I have a picture of the box it was huge and really good! We also caught a lizard it was really funny it was in the zone leaders apartment it was so awesome!​​​​​​

Saturday we attended a baptism of a guy from the Congo.  The Wilmington 1st elders baptized him in Swahili.  The guy messed up his ankle the night before and couldn't even walk on it and still got baptized so much faith so amazing to see!! Then we found the bike that night - miracle as well totally lead to it by the spirit to take a path for idk why but led us right to it and we got it!! Now i am going to find my helmet I don't care how haha!!! We had dinner with the Bastians and it was fun we sang hymns and elder peseta played the ukulele that they had!! We stayed the night again at the zone leaders and Elder Shearer gave me the nice haircut and it looks so good!!

Christmas- Woke up at 6:30 and we all opened our gifts which was tons of fun!!  I reopened the shoes that I wrapped myself it was great!! I loved all of my gifts so much!! And then I wore the shoes to church!!  It was a  really awesome service at church.  Tons of singing Christmas songs and the story of Christs birth!!! We spent Christmas with the Carters where I got to call everyone from.  We were there all day it was tons of fun.  They had a lot of family but it was pretty small compared to what i am use to and pretty dang quiet as well!!!

I loved this Christmas so much even though it was harder and different and i didn't get to be there with all of you I know where I am is where I am needed and I love everyone so much!!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Love Elder Hutchings

Monday- was great we had a fun day we played more wall ball.  Then we went to the Niskas who fed us a really good meal and they are a super fun couple.  We had a great time telling them mission stories and just making them laugh! We then contacted a less active guy and gave him a light the world card and it was pretty cool because it opened him up more!!

Tuesday- We found Schvonna, she is this funny lady who really thought the restoration and eternal familys were amazing!! Then sadly we didn't find anyone else that night it was a little sad but we still worked hard and I got my packages!!!

Wednesday- We went and gave a blessing which was amazing!!  This guy was having some problems but we were able to help him and it was so great!! Then we had district meeting and the assistants to the president was there it was fun!!! We tracted the rest of the day and didn't find anyone!!!

Thursday- we tracted again but funny story this lady like actually slammed the door which actually never happens but it did and it was super funny!! We did find Sylvia who is this super sweet lady who is ready for the gospel!!!

Friday was the best!!!  We had the temple trip!!!  So I drove all the way to Raleigh which was a blast!!  We took Elder Jensen and Elder Veseth in our car.  It was tons of fun on the way up sharing stories and jamming out to music (spiritually uplifting music)!!!  The temple was amazing just like always!! We drove all the way home and everyone else fell asleep.  We were up at 4:50 in the morning to go to the temple and didn't get home till 7:30 it was a long drive!!

Saturday we found Tracy this super cool lady who has like 8 kids and it was a funny door contact with them running around and these puppies and it was just great!! Then Elder Peseta got a call from President James to perform for a Conference for Christmas it was great (glad its not me) hahah!!!

Sunday- we had another awesome lesson with Tonya and Calvin.  We invited them to be baptised they said no but want to learn more and attend church!!  We also taught Sylvia again which went great and she wants to learn so much and it was funny because she asked us if we can be her friends!! We went to dinner at 5 and left our bikes at the church then came back and guess who's bike was stolen!!!!! Ughhhhh - thug life chain cut threw and everything!!!!!!

This week was really good!

Monday- we played wall ball with the Leland elders and just had a great time and really enjoyed their company.  We did that for most of the day after we emailed and it was pretty fun. We went tracting that night and it was awesome we found Calvin and Tonya who are gonna make me fried chicken which will be amazing!! We had a super spirit filled lesson with them after they let us in and we taught them the restoration!! It was a really amazing experience!!

Tuesday was a scramble but it was good.  I ended up planning the district meeting  that night for the next day so that was crazy but fun and really good!! We found another new investigator named Amilea who is this super nice old lady who is christian and really wants to learn more so that was great!! 

Wednesday district meeting went great and it was fun.  We are learning new ways to teach from the pamphlets that we have! Then I went to Leland and that was a riot!!  It was fun to go back to a bunch of places that I tracted before  and we found a new investigator there.  It was great and I got to see some people that I had talked with so that was cool. Then that night we went to the Childs house which was great!!  They were super happy to see me and they plan on making me some super good food when I go back to Leland.  It will be so much fun!!

Thursday was great we taught Amelia again and she was super nice and we invited her to be baptized and she said she would think about it and study more with it!! Then the rest of the day was weird but we found a guy who really needed help and we gave him a book of mormon sadly he called and said if he wants us to come back he will let us know so that was to bad but its all good!!  Hopefully we left an impression on him.  

Friday was super fun we had the ward Christmas party and it was tons of fun so many people were there.  We might have a new guy we are going to be teaching that a member brought so it will be really cool to see what happens!!  It was so cold that night but brother Wilson gave us a ride home from the church!!

Saturday was crazy.  We went tracting and then to a baptizm then all over that night!!  We found Incler this super awesome guy from Honduras who we taught and he is prepared and he really liked the message and spirit he felt when we shared it with him!! He offered us this extra Christmas tree so it was pretty cool.  We are teaching him again Wednesday!!

Sunday was crazy our ride to church cancelled so we biked there but it was all good!! Then Elder Peseta and I gave talks.  Mine was on the mission of the savior and everyone said it was good but I felt like I didn't do the best but it was good and I started it with sorry I don't have an aloha or talofa like Elder Peseta.  We just say potato in Idaho haha!!!  It was pretty funny!!! That night we taught Calvin and tonya again.  It was a really awesome lesson and they want to attend church with us!! After the lesson I asked her if she would make me some fried chicken and she said she would I am so excited because they are so cool and just really fun people!!

Today we are going to this gym to learn some Brazilian Juditzu!!  Its going to be awesome.  One of the members owns the gym and he is the instructor!! So it will be really awesome!!

And that is the amazing week of Elder Hutchings

Love Elder Hutchings

Our Little Tree

Our Big Tree!!!

Elder HUTCHINS!!!! Love it!!

Monday was really cool we went down to down town Wilmington and just looked around and of course I forgot my camera. That night we went out tracting and we found Logan this super nice black lady who was very interested by what we shared with her and wanted to hear more.  We left a book of mormon with her and set an appointment for this week.   We should have a great lesson with her on more of the restoration and then inviting her to come to church!! It was really awesome.

 Tuesday was great we had a zone training with all of the missionaries.  We set up for an inspiring meeting and super funny!! Elder Garlick (my trainer) is in the zone so it is super cool.  He is up in Jacksonville.  It is really cool to see him every now and again. I also went on an exchange with elder Jensen which was crazy to be back with him again but tons of fun because we talked about old times and just had a blast showing each other how much we have improved!! It was really cool and we found a lady named Shannon who was really interested in the thought of a prophet.  It was really great!! 

Then Wednesday not to much happened.  Then Thursday was the same just tracting and not to much success but it was fun.  Elder Peseta and I keep it fun with jokes and just getting to know one another!! 

Friday was great!!  We got lunch and dinner  and I was super full!!  We got some golden corral and burritos from a member.  It was great and that night we found this super cool old guy who told us all these weird stories and was kinda crazy but it was funny and pretty great. 

Saturday - Well I tried making pancakes and I think I am missing something because all I had was flour and sugar and salt and it was kinda like eating playdough but with peanut butter and syrup!!!  It didn't taste to bad!! It was quite interesting!! But i survived! It was funny and pretty great. We got to do some service for these black ladies who were super funny!!  We helped them move into their home and we got it done in 2 hours and when we finished they were like dang we wouldn't be half way done right now if it wasn't for y'all!!

Sunday was really awesome!!  I did my first 2 baptismal interviews!! It was really awesome kinda scary but they were ready. Then that day we went to the hood and did some tracting it was really fun kinda scary but fun and we found Victor and Ashley.  It was awesome.  They both wanted to learn more and find out if it is true! 

All of this week we were sharing the #lighttheworld card and it is amazing how Christmas breaks barriers and helps us to get into the door or at least leave something there. This week I will plan for my second district meeting and go on another exchange into Leland I am going to wear my special tag that says Elder Hutchins ahahaha. It will be great!

Love Elder Hutchings (aka Elder Hutchins)  LOL

Happy Thanksgiving - Welcome back to Wilmington - First District Meeting!!!

Well this last week was pretty crazy.  Monday I  had one last dinner at the White's house.  It was pretty great. We ate chicken pot pie. An investigator that I have been teaching was able to come and have dinner with us so I was able to say good bye to her. I taught her a lot and it was pretty scary because she almost wasn't able to join us!!  It got worked out some how and she was able to join us. We also got to hang out with one of the priests named E.  He is super cool and he went out to Jordan Lake with us.  We played some sports with him and the rest of the zone. It was cold but everyone was there and I was able to see a ton of people before I had to leave!! It was a really good day. We found boomerangs that night and we went and were throwing them and I kept throwing mine in the pond by our house!!!  It was lame so we fished it out with Elder Dobsons fishing pole!!  It was a great last day in Cary and tons of fun!!

Tuesday was transfers and Brother Mills from the ward drove me to where I needed to be.  I took a picture of all of my stuff at the couch it was pretty great. I got to transfers and found my ride and found Elder Peseta (my new companion) and we rode down with a member to Wilmington.  I forget his name but he is really awesome. We got to Wilmington and got right to work but sadly with all our tracting we didn't find anyone but we got out and worked. It was really fun to be able to work here.  I  unpacked that night and planned my first district meeting!!  It was pretty fun and kinda stressful but the zone leaders helped me out.

Wednesday was my first district meeting and it went pretty well (a bit rough) but it should smooth out over time and be better!! I got to meet my district and it is so good to be back here - a little weird but good. Not to much happened the rest of Wednesday but we went tracting and it was cool we met a guy named Steven.  He let us come right in and we taught him.  We are going to go back and teach him more but he is really nice and offered us a ride home!!

Thursday turkey day!! Started it off with some turkey bowl and just like always my team won!!!  I made an awesome catch and ran it for a long ways!!  It was a way intense game and kinda scary haha.   We got to visit a less active member named Gary Martin and it was really awesome.  He was surprised to see us but you could tell it made his day. We ate dinner at the Van Slykes - the assistant ward mission leader.  He is really fun and so is his family.  It was a great dinner.  They don't so anything different just turkey and the usual.  Elder Peseta and I ate way to much.  Then we went and visited a few members and we found an investigator while on our way there. We were definitely lead to him because we walked the wrong way and bumped into him!!!  If we would have walked the right way we would have missed him! Then that night we bikee to the sisters house to get the car because I had a meeting on Friday and the district leader from Shallot came and spent the night that night so we could go to the meeting that next day.

Friday we got up at 4 a.m.!!! to head back up to Raleigh for the leadership meeting.  I got to drive to Wallace where we joined the other leadership and headed the rest of the way there.  It was a super long trip but it was really good and it helped me know more of what I am doing.  We got back to Wilmington around 4 and we went out to tract and we found a bunch of potentials  so that was great. 

Saturday was good - we did lots of tracting and I got a haircut from a member who did a really awesome job!!  Its different but looks really good!!!

Sunday was my first Sunday here and I actually knew a few people in the ward.  The bishop here is really missionary minded and it is really great!! We had dinner with a recent convert and I got all caught up with the ward it was a really good day.  We even found a man named Ryan who is really prepared for the gospel!!!

Really great week and I am looking forward to being here and I am sending pictures!!!

Elder Dodson, Taniyeah and I

The fabulous White Family

All my stuff!!! (Way too much!!!)

Elder Peseta being diligent!!!

Elder Peseta and I at our first District Meeting - he is from Hawaii!!!!

Headed to Wilmington!!!

So this week was suppose to be really awesome but sadly almost all of our appointments fell threw!!!  So we just tracted a ton and didnt really have much success. We did have 2 really awesome meetings. So one was with a lady named Iris Scott and I mentioned that we found her last week.  We had a lesson with her and she is so prepared to be baptized!! We had such a spiritual lesson in which we invited her to be baptized and she excepted.  It was really amazing and we got our ward mission leader there with us and he testified of the truthfulness of the gospel and it was just a true blessing. 

We also met with William and sadly he is being admitted to the hostipal but it will be all good!  We talked to him about this life and how it is to feel joy.  We were able to express our love for him and allowed him to know that we are here for him.  He is going threw a really hard time and we just wanted him to know that!! 

On sunday it was announced that I am leaving Cary !!!  It was good because we got Taniyah to church and she is so ready for baptism!! It was great to see all of the memebers who came up and thanked me for all my service in this area and were sad that I have to go. So now is the question to where, well, I got a call saturday night from President James!!!  He called me to go back to Wilmington (I was in Leland which is right next to Wilmington).  I am going to be a District Leader there in that area so i will be over Leland too. Kinda funny!!!  It will be great to be back there and I will get the address as soon as I know where I'm at. I will be back over with Elder and Sister Martin (the couples missionaries who moved in when I was there)   I am so excited to see them too. So yes it is great. It was funny though because I thought that I was in the clear for a call but President James suprised me and I got one haha!!!  I know wherever I go I am needed. 

It will be hard to leave Cary because I have loveed it here so much but it will be good that Elder Dobson is staying. 

Today is gonna be great  - we have a zone activity at Jordan Lake (once again no swimming - ha ha)  that will be so much fun!!  We are also going to have dinner with the Whites and an investigator named Tori who is super awesome.  I did want to  say bye to her before I leave.  

So great day and great week just boring and slow but that is how it goes some days. Next week I will send the video of me riding my bike and I video taped it while riding and took a selfie!! :))) Love you have an awesome week!!!  I will be in Wilmington on tuesday and I'll get you the new address asap!!!

Love to all

Love Elder Dylan Hutchings

Good Basketball Skills!!!

Monday was super cool -  tons of elders and sisters were at the apex stake center and it was really awesome because there was a ton of basketball going on!!  I was on the team that never lost.  We won every game we had because we had 2 of the best and tallest guys on the team!!  That is why we won but I like to think it was because of my good looks and winning skills!!!  LOL!!  It was tons of fun because there was over 70 missionaries at the stake center and there were some I had never met or seen before!! I was so tired afterwards and just worn out from all of the playing!! Elder walker was there and everything so it was like a huge party thing with tons of sports. Sadly our appointment that were planned for afterward got cancelled with a man named Marvin so that was upsetting.  We went and tracted which was fun and we met a few really nice people.

Tuesday was the exchange with the Cary second missionaries who are the zone leaders and I went to their area and got to ride in a car.  That was amazing because my butt hurts from all of the biking!! It was cool because we went tracting and we knocked on this ladies door and we got to rake her leaves.  We think she had Alzheimers  but she was funny and super nice and very great full for our help. We then went and did contacting on the NC state campus and we tried passing out cards and just talking to people which isn't the most effective all of the time.  We were laughing and talking about how no one there knows how to wear any clothes but we got a few peoples numbers while there so we can contact them later which was cool. Then we had dinner with a member who made us homemade pizza that was really good and it was cooked on this weird cooker that had a heater and spun around.  It was interesting!! That night though we met a young lady knocking doors who went on a rant about how people are immodest and just the lowering of standers which was really funny because elder Berzintski and I were ranting about it after contacting at the college. 

Wednesday we had what is called zone training which was really good and helped us to find the 6 new investigators.  We found them threw what is called spiritually creating and then we put it to the test that day we went and followed the spirit to knock doors.  We met Anne Rogers who was ready to hear about the gospel and we taught her the restoration on her door.  She wanted us to come back and share more. Then we went and committed some members to go and invite some of their neighbors to meet with us and they said they would after we had a powerful lesson on how members can be blessed by doing missionary work.

Thursday- Sadly our two appointments cancelled but we didn't give up we went up to the northern part of our area to tract.  We got let right into a door and it was crazy because we gave them a bible - where in the south EVERYONE has one but they didn't and they were ready for the gospel.  It was amazing!! Then we met this awesome older lady with no teeth and we shared the restoration with her and she wanted us to come back!!  She was super nice and guess what her name is (Glenda) It was amazing to see how she was placed in our path.

Friday- we were out tracting and this lady started bashing with us and it was quite sad because Elder Dobson and I proved her wrong but she didn't want to listen so we ended up leaving and Friday was pretty uneventful.

Started saturday by meeting Dante who is a really nice guy who let us right in and offered us beer and weed it was pretty funny!!  Don't worry I said no I think haha jkjk!!!!  I said no but we taught him the plan of salvation and are going back Wednesday so it will be interesting to see. It was super funny to because we also told him about the word of wisdom haha. We went and delivered a bible to a man named Osmund who had an interesting thought on the second coming so we talked with him about that but he said to come back later after he had a chance to read so we will do that this week!!! Then I got my bike fixed and the guy was awesome!!!  He only made me pay for parts and gave me a really great discount so I will write him a thank you note!! Then that day we met Iris Scott and she was so prepared to have us come!!  She had already met with missionaries and had a baptism date and is so ready but we are going to teach her everything again because we couldn't find a record of her teaching after we had to play detective but it was fun!!

Sunday was great because I fit into my suit that is silver!!  It fits perfectly and it looks dang good!! (It's the one from prom before I left on my mission that did NOT fit)   We taught two lessons at church one about our heavenly family and the other about missionary work to the priests.  It is always fun to teach them because they are funny guys and we just have a great time in there with them. We after church got to go give a blessing to Iris with Brother White who had met her before.  It was powerful and the words spoken were just amazing I cant even describe them in words. After that we had to track Brother White back down because left our phone in his car but we got it back so that was good!! That is mostly all for the week!!

Hope everyone has a great week

Love

Elder Hutchings

Elder Dodson and I - looking good!!

Ultimate Frisbee at the Lake

So on Halloween we got to go to the lake and it was really fun.  It was super pretty up at the lake and we played some ultimate Frisbee  which was a blast.  Then we went swimming haha just kidding just kidding!!!!  We didn't swim but it was tempting - it looked so good and it was beautiful!!!  HaHaHa It was great because all the elders were there. 

That night I kept the tradition alive and my companion and I went and got pizza!!!  We ate it at a place called bond park and it was super cool.  We did have to bike it there though but it was fun!  We went and passed out candy at some members house, the Whites, who are a super fun family!! 

Flash forward to Wednesday and apparently our ride for district meeting almost forgot us!!!  It was really funny but we made it and it was really good. We had a really good Wednesday and it was tons of fun but Thursday is when it got really crazy. So we were sitting there planning and all of a sudden we get a call from President James and we had interviews with him!!  So we biked to the stake center and we were super unprepared and it was funny and crazy but we made it and we still had a good day! 

We were then able to go and teach 2 lessons and both of them were really good.  We were able to talk about baptism with one of the investigators named William and it was really great. The other investigators name is Martha and she is pretty sweet!!   It has been really great to be teaching them!! 

Then this Sunday was stake conference and it was really good but what was really cool was that Frank Jackson who plays football from duke and Justin Anderson who plays lacrosse from University of North Carolina both came and did a fireside.  It was so cool to be there and meet them it was super amazing!! 

Saturday was boring, we knocked like 100 doors and it was so hard!! But this week has been really good and tons of fun!! It has been really great to be out here and it is so weird that it is November!!

Love Elder Hutchings

Ultimate Frisbee at the lake

Run in with the Thorn Bush - it won!!!

My ghost tie for Halloween!!!!

Happy Halloween

This last week was really good.  Monday P-day was super fun and went really well. That night we found 2 new people and it was crazy.  It was super amazing!  We gave one of the new contacts the first lesson and we committed him to live the word of wisdom. It was a really good lesson and could feel that the spirit was really there. 

We worked really hard and that's when we found the new contact lady!!  It was really cool because she called us over and was just like ready for the gospel!!!  She was open to the lessons and we taught her a lot and it was really awesome!! 

We did a lot of tracting during the week. We also had a really awesome lesson with Tori.  We have been teaching her for awhile but this time her mom joined us in the lesson.  The lesson was on feeling the spirit and why we need it in our lives.  The lesson went really well. 

The best thing this week was that we got 2 less active members to come to church!!!  One member that came hasn't come to church in over 20 years!!  It was pretty crazy and really awesome!!  He actually event went up and bore his testimony too!!  It was super incredible and the testimomy he shared was amazing it was great to have him come.

 We also got some other great news!!  We found out that Taniyah had her final interview with President James and that she is ready for baptism!!!! It has been so amazing to watch her learn and grow in the gospel and now she is ready for baptism.  It will be so awesome to help her plan for this step in her life!!

Thank you for all your love and support!!  

Love to all

Elder Hutchings

My Halloween Tie - Thanks MOM!!!

Elder Chiu and I on exchange

It's Sweater Weather!!!

Well this week was pretty crazy, Monday we were suppose to have a lesson with Taniyah but that got cancelled.  We went up to the northern part of our area instead and went tracting.  We met some really awesome people - sadly we didnt get to teach anyone but we were able to share a few of our beliefs with some people on their door!  Then this one lady was like do you know what time it is and we were like 8 and she was like oh well its dark and we were like its 8 :)!!  She wasnt happy but it was ok she just closed the door. 

Tuesday not to much happened and we just tracted a bunch and tried to talk to people on the green way.  We met this super old lady who has never left Cary!!!  She was born here and it was really interesting to talk to her and we gave her a book of mormon!! 

Wednesday we had a great lesson with an investigator named Qua who is very interested.  She is interested in learning more and wants to know if mormons are the ones who are right and she really thought that baptisms for the dead was amazing! Then that night we filled out a survey for our complex  and we got a free pizza it was really cool! 

We found a new investigator on Thursday and met with him again on Friday.  It was really cool because he is from Haiti and he is pretty funny and really cool!!  He speaks 4 languauges and he was very intreged by the first vision!! 

Saturday was really fun and we finally had to put sweaters on because it is chilly out biking at night!! 

Sunday was crazy because we were suppose to have a bunch of people at church and only one showed up!!  :(  Then we had 2 lessons cancelled and we got bashed with!!  We ended up having a great lesson with Taniyah which went super good and she is having a baptismal interveiw with President James this tuesday!!  This week has been really amazing!!  We are still finding people and teaching alot of people and it has been great.  I have been here in Cary longer then any other Elder has been for a very long time and I can say that I love it so much!! I love being a missionary even though times get tough and hard it is always worth it in the end!!

Love y'all

Hawaiian Haystacks and lots of work

This monday was really weird because it was my last P-day with Elder Lingmann and all those who got transferred that I know really well.  As you know we ran a 5k and it was dumb it was actually only 4 miles!! Luckily I didn't have to run it!! We played some sports for the rest of the day and it was fun!! 

Tuesday we got on of the priests to come out with us.  His name is Elkanah and he is really awesome.  It was really fun we went to the park and taught a girl with him there with us.  She said she wanted to learn more so that was great! Then we took him and got a frosty!!  It was so much fun and he biked with us! Then that night we found another person to teach.  We didn't even knock on his door, we just walked with him around his apartment complex! It was really cool! We taught him again on Sunday with a member and he is super nice.  His name is Mohidd and he is really awesome!! 

Let me tell you that I have never eaten so many Hawaiian haystacks!!!  The one on Sunday was the best ones that we have ever had!! 

We did tons of work this week and just had a blast and worked hard. We knocked on a lot of houses and we are trying a new thing at the park.  We are doing a survey and it hasn't been to successful but we are tweaking it and making it better!! The flooding is completely gone now it is crazy!! 

This Sunday I had to give a talk in church and it was on service.  Everyone said that I did great but it was scary and it was really funny. I talked about you in my talk!! It was really interesting and then we also taught the priest quorum lesson and that was interesting but fun!  We got 2 investigators to church which is really awesome!!! I have been teaching both of them the whole time that I have been in Cary!! 

It was really fun this week and I was looking at everything that I have picked up on my mission!!  This is some of the stuff!! Pictures are Elder Lingmann and I and then a snake on the green way as we were biking and then the stuff i have gotten for free on my mission haha :)

Hope everyone has a great week

Love Elder Hutchings
