​A tough morning last week leaving Prestonsburg...I don't know if any place else will ever live up to the mark that this little town in the mountains of Kentucky left on my heart forever. Miss everyone in this great state.


saying bye (for now) to my dearest Elder The BOLT! Cluff! love you man, #best tag team God ever put together.

 As sad as I was to leave Prestonsburg, it was really good to see some of my old friends from Parkersburg again and our super district. (left to right; Me, Elder Myers! Elder Chevelier, Elder Thompson, Elder Numbers) I served around each of these Elders in Parkersburg and it was a blast to see and catch up with all of them again! I was also able to say bye to my favorite Zone Leader Elder Fielding, rest in peace, and may your legend live on!  (Death, in Mission speak means he went home)
Elder Cheveliear was actually the missionary who found Debra L again and was ecstatic to learn that she had been baptized.
 ​Elder Myers and I literally ran to each other when we saw each other, and spent the entire transfer meeting catching up, love this man! we had a good time together back in Parkersburg! so good to see him again.
 Arriving in Lewisburg, we live in lewisburg which is about ​10 min south of W.S.S. we have a very nice brand new apartment. oh and The Greenbriar is in our area...which for those of you who don't know what that is, google it "America's Resort".
 ​Randy One of the many spectacular Librarians, he made Elder Cluff a One Direction read poster.
Stay in touch Randy...and Keep on keeping on! 
 A few of the faces at Game night at the Library Left to right; Me, Brian, Jack, Elder Cluff, Andrew, Jonathan
 ​The Shannon Family, #SouthFloyd...Brother Shannon was also our barber...True Blue!
 The Bentley Family...Terrific Trish! Love yins!
 All of the Staff at our Taco bell signed a Box for me to take with me, # Shout-out to Amber Bradshaw!

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
