60-member branch in Dyersburg. Baptist funeral. Memphis temple.

Hey everyone!

So this week has been good! to be honest its been a slow week and kind of discouraging week overall but hey! we got two families to come back to church and they seem commited to coming back next week also so thats a plus! Im loving it here and my companions are awesome! we stay in an appartment that is right next to another set of elders that are also super great missionaries!

So this branch is awesome! Even though its super small like maybe 60 members on average, all of the members that are active are just so missionary minded and help out whenever and wherever they can! i love it here and hope that before i can leave i can help out the branch in one way or another.

Oh so this week we attended a baptist funeral in support of one our members who had a sister pass away… It was so much different than any other meeting i have ever been to before! you know how you see it on the movies, where they are pretty much just rocking out and having a good old time and they throw in jesus’ name every so often in their surmons and stuff like that? it was exactly like that and it just blew me away to be honest! just wasn’t centered on what religeous services should be centered on but it was a good time everyone left smiling! felt like a concert!

On another note i got to go walk around the temple and i finally memorized the first vision in English! i had it in chinese but not english… haha sad but funny so now ive got it in both so im good 🙂 Love you all and hope youre doing well!
