I got transferred to a place called Walterboro it is a really big area in fact our area is all of Colleton county and then a little more. And Colleton County is the third biggest county in all of South Carolina so we have a pretty huge area. We do actually have a car now it’s a little Toyota Corolla. We have to drive all the way up to north Charleston for meetings and stuff which takes around an hour and eats up
a lot of our miles. We only get 1080 miles every month but we are going to see if we can get a little more because that is not near enough for this giant area. So we will still probably be walking and biking quite a bit. The Ward isn’t even a ward here it a branch haha it is way little and is struggling right now there was about 40 people there at church yesterday. There is a lot of people on the roster we just need to figure out why not that many people are actually coming and staying at church. We are going to have to do a lot of stuff here we had to help bless and pass the sacrament and we are already speaking next Sunday. But the branch is really excited to have missionaries back in the area. Elder Bethers is my companion and we are actually what we call white washing an area and that is where 2 new elders go into an area usually one leaves and one stays but in this case both of us are new here. So we have a lot of stuff to do here our branch presidents name is president Bryan he is really he joined the church when he was like 30 I think. And our branch mission leader is bro. Black and he is cool but way busy he runs his own dry cleaners he has quite a few of them. But he is not only the mission leader but also the first counselor and the Sunday school teacher. We just don’t have a lot of priesthood holders that are willing to serve but we will try to see if we can get some more activated and going consistently. We also are trying to find some good families to baptize and help out the branch. Its pretty crazy elder smart is actually my district leader now haha so I talk to him every night its kind of funny that we got put back together but he said he told president McConkie to send me down here and he must have listened to him, because I got sent all the way down here. One of my Zone leaders is actually Elder Erickson who I graduated with he is pretty cool. Oh ya and Elder Bowles [Braxton Fitzgerald's] friend actually just got made an Assistant to the President, so that’s pretty cool I guess. My wrist is doing quite a bit better but it is definitely not at full strength yet that for sure it still is sore and hurts quite often. Man our apartment was a mess when we got it so we have been trying to get it all cleaned up and stuff but our vacuum is crap so we gotta try to get a new one. Oh ya and my favorite part we have bed bugs!!! I had a big battle the other night and went crazy on our room vacuuming and spraying this stuff so I hope I killed them but I have to call and see if I can get a new bed and stuff so we will see what happens.
