Week 7

Well what a week...Tuesday, my companion threw in the towel...so we abandoned our apartment for the week and I lived with the zone leaders (who have a Tri-Panionship already )Elder Klineman, Elder Golding and Elder Shaffer...which ended up being the greatest 4-day exchange ever! We had four of us in the "Nicest Apartment in the Mission"...It was great working with them, two cars and four elders we rocked both of our areas! Plus had some fantastic study that I will remember the rest of my mission...and somewhere along the way, I was talked into purchasing Elder Klineman's entire weight set...and they set me up in a real missionary work out routine! Which includes a mile of Stairs at the stadium...I have never felt more AWAKE in my mission! it took me three days to be able to fully bend my arms strait again.

Then Friday We went down to Charleston to Meet my New companion Elder Williams! HOT DOG! are we a smashing great fit! He is 27, from Gilbert Arizona, and served in the Marines for 7 years before his mission! I am loving how dedicated he and we are and the heightened spirit we have found the last three days...I love leaving our apartment on-time! at 11:00 and working till 9:00 wondering back to apartment for the first time that day exhausted and experiencing the power of specific prayerful planning! I have never prayed more in a single day and it works, it really works! So cool!

So much happened this past couple of weeks and it feels like time just keeps moving faster and time to type gets shorter, I will do my best to sum up a few of the highlights of the weeks. Exchange with Cave Spring Elders/Elder MacDonald's Surgery - An elder in our district Elder MacDonald had been suffering from some headaches and major dizziness for a week or so after some usual remedies didn't work he was recommended to go see a doctor, who after learning his heart rate was dangerously low, he was shortly admitted to Lewis Gale Hospital. The gave us a call shortly after and we met them at the hospital. As this all unfolded it was concluded that Elder MacDonald needed a pacemaker...All went well and after 3 days He was able to return to missionary service and did not have to go home:) As I watched all this unfold I was amazed at how many people involved were touched in little ways. One of the largest was the opportunity to Elder Wilkinson to feel the fulfillment of support

  Whaooo...I am staying in Parkersburg! :) Well what a week Everyone, It is Transfer Week and Guess what, I am getting another companion, and this one I am determined to keep at least two Transfers! At least this time my companion is and I are leaving successful and Happy...I am really going to miss Elder Williams, he has taught me so much and between Elder McFarland and Elder Williams I have not only become a better missionary, but I also feel stronger and happier in General and There are so many things that I know I have learned from both of my Trainers that I will carry through my mission and into my life afterwards too. Love you Both Elders!    Elder Williams and I had a great final week of our companionship, as Summer here is drawing to a close, since most of the schools here resume in the coming week or two (due to all the snow-days from the harsh winter). Funny it seems like summer just started and here it is coming to a close so soon. Elder Williams and I

Dearest All, well how grand a week...with 10 new investigators...which is simply incredible! Which will give us plenty to do while the G.'s are on vacation for a week! I have so many photos so I am going to let them tell the story...enjoy ​H.G. was excited when the L.s loaned her four great and entertaining LDS films for them to take on their week long vacation at smith mountain lake in VA We taught M.H. and his sons "The Gospel of Jesus Christ" with chalk again, we have found this to be a really great way to keep younger investigators engaged in the lesson and it helps them to retain it. ​I also had Elder Thompson come with me on an exchange here in Lewisburg and we finished putting the details on our Mormon Game show...for the Roncevete River Festival...which was a huge Success! ​Our Booth location...all set up  on Friday ...this was a  Friday - Sunday  event... Thursday  was spent a lot of plannin
