Hello everyone. This week has been so good! I've been getting used to missionary life! Everyone in Americus is so nice. In my mission we are encouraged to talk to 10 people per missionary. So since I'm in a trio we have to talk to 30 people each day. So we pretty much talk to people all day bc 30 Is lwk a lot.
The branch is so great. We had a potluck yesterday and that was super good. All the women know how to cook. Can't say that ab SD. The members are so willing to help us. They will give our friends rides. They also make them feel so welcoming. If anyone needs to feel welcome, come to the Americus branch!
About the title of this... It's true😢
Elder Wimmer has to go home because of some family issues. So it's going to be a duo now. So sad because we have so much fun and I've learned so many things from him. Gonna miss him tonsðŸ˜
Another thing that our mission does is "Seek and Expect Miracles" We had a miracle this week. We have a friend named Summer. Summer also has a 3 year old son. She works at Chick-Fil-A. That's how we met her. She said she wanted our number bc she wants to be closer to God! So we invited her to church. That's not even the miracle I'm talking about. There is another guy who is an inactive member who we have been meeting with named Rupert. Rupert told us that he feels like he needs to come to church again. So we invited him to church! Well long story short they both came! It was so great. The branch welcomed them with open arms. THEN THE MOST CRAZY THING WAS REALIZED. RUPERT IS THE GRANDPA TO SUMMERS SON! We didn't even know that they knew eachother. Rupert then went up to us after sacrament meeting and said that this is why he is supposed to be here. He needs to come and help Summer with her son at church. It's so cool seeing people see God's hand in their life.
I love being a missionary out here! It's so fun and also warm. Thank goodness I'm not in Calgary, Canada. You sisters can have it.
Sorry this email is long. But it's good so I lwk ain't sorry at all. Love you guys. Miss and think of everyone constantly! Please email me!
Love,
Elder Clayburn
