It has been super busy here - Pday is always great. We played volleyball and a ton of basketball at the beach again.
We had the exchange that I told you all about and it went great. I took over the area and it was fun. Elder Delamare and I found another new investigator. Her name is Barbara. She's new to Leland and really nice. It was nice tracting into her. I taught like all of the 4 minute lesson/contact so that was super cool. Elder Delamare said that he really couldn't tell that I had only been out 6 weeks so I felt pretty good about that.
We have district meetings every Wednesday and after out meetings we did a super power clean of everything. We had some other Elders come and they spent the night with us because we went up to Raleigh on Thursday for first transfer training. It was fun to have them come stay. We had to get up at 4:30 in the morning to get up there and we drove like 6 hours that day. It was great though I learned a lot. They check to see how we are all doing. We got advice and instruction from President and Sister James and the AP's. I love President and sister James they are super nice and so great. I love meeting with them whenever I can. President James is so funny, you just have to hear the way he talks. He always says the funniest stuff. We didn't get home until 8. We went clear out to Tabor City to pick up another Elders things. His companion was transferred so technically I have 2 trainers now!! (I hope that doesn't mean anything bad about me!!! LOL!!!) So we have done tons of driving all over the mission this week but I have 2 companions and thats been fun. The other Elder is Elder Jorganson and he's super cool. He came out with Elder Garlick.
I do miss everyone but I know I am where I need to be and I do love it. It's hard some days but it is worth it. We have one investigator that is slacking off but you can see how satan works when we let him in the picture. Some days I love tracting and other days I don't. I do love sharing the gospel and being in North Carolina.
Love and miss yall
Elder Dylan Hutchings
