Hey everyone,
Last week was incredible. On thursday we had a huge number of referrals in the RC and I also taught with my two companions thi third lesson. It went very well. Then we had conference. Did you all think it was just amazing? Saturday night after Priesthood I started having ice cream withdrawls, but I was able to convince my companions to get some. Then monday and tuesday was the last time with my teachers, Bro Pomlowski and Sis Smith. I also had to get a haircut, mine was too long. So I'm not liking my new haircut too well, but I'm over it. Then tuesday we had our last devotional. The speaker was Robert S. Wood. He talked about truth. it was incredible. It was amazing. he talked about how to gain truth and explained the difference between knowledge and truth. He also showed us two graphs made by a non-member, one was about world population and the other was world capita. Both looked almost identical. Both were low until near the end and shot straight upward. He said it all started about 1820. (First Vision). It was very interesting. Also last Wednesday we had some new elders come into our zone that are going to Australia. That night our zone leaders and my companions planned an initiation test. It was really funny they recorded themselves singing My Girl. Now my companions sing it all of the time, but it was funny. (I wasn't in it.)
I just arrived at Richmond and it's airport was small compared to the one in Georgia. It is so different here. There a lot of trees and is really green. Before we even got off the plane, we felt the humidity. So far I think this place looks great.
