Hello All!! I am in N.C. :) I have been here for officially one week and it has been great! My new companion is Sister Felton and she is from Vernal, UT. She has some relatives in the p-town. Mark Holt is her first cousin. Somehow everyone always knows someone from Preston.:) She is fifteen months old...so she will be passing away in September, but we should be companions for that long...Wahoo! So, we are in the 1st and 4th wards and man o man the ward boundaries out here are seriously huge! I am not real sure which is north...but hopefully I will figure it out. But church was great and I just introduced myself right along with Napoleon Dynamite. Everyone always seems to love that. THE WEATHER. The weather is good. It is super hot...and we are constantly sweating...but my skin is sure soft. We live with a 91 year old non-member. She is super sweet and watches Glenn Beck all the time!:) We have already seen so many miracles! Last Tuesday we were out contacting and ran into a couple, they invited us back to their house to give them a lesson...eek and as we were teaching one of their friends came in and asked if we were having church and if we accepted sinners. So we said, "oh course!!":) Anyway, three new investigors and Sunday evening an investigator prayed with us. That was the most amazing thing ever! To see an investigator keep those commitments and talk with our Heavenly Father is so awesome! I quoted the first vision for the first time...got a little tongue tied and choked up in the middle, but the spirit was there and so strong. This work is amazing and I am so grateful to be a part of it. I hope all is well and you all had a great and safe holiday. Have a great safe week! Sister Oliverson
