Elder C in the ATL

Hey guys! This week has been good! It's transfer week, so that's a little sad. Prezzie told me I'm staying, so I'm hyped. He also said I'm driving. Let's go. I love driving! But since he said that Elder Pettingill will be leaving🥲 Elder Pettingill, it says that for every missionary, if they have 2 good transfers, they will have a character building transfer. Hopefully, he's wrong. I'll let yall know if my comp is good or bad next email.    We had interviews with our mission president this week. This is when he told me that Elder Pettingill is getting transferred. He also role played with me. The interview was like 20 minutes, so i feel special. A General Authority role played with me.    I asked a member to see his chicken farm, but he said it's his off-season, so we went to his friends. He has 240,000 chickens. We went to a chicken farm. It was so cool. They used to be a Tyson supplier, but apparently, Tyson isn't the hype anymore.    The same ...

Hey guys! I am currently writing this while playing Golf. Let's just say I'm not the best at this game.    This week was very good! No complaints. Ever since I got some pepper spray for the dogs,  no dogs have gone near us. Every time we go to a house in the country, I have my hand in my pocket on the trigger bc I'm terrified, they're gonna shoot out.    This week, we helped our new member Blaine move apartments. It was crazy how much stuff people can fit in those. It took us about 4 hours of our day to load up that     U-Haul. It was fine because afterward we ate lunch with 2 old ladies that go to church with us.    On Saturday we went to a member meal in Arabi. Arabi is an hour away from our house, but we were in the town 15 minutes away anyway to see members. So it all worked out. We were with the Berries also, so they were feeding all 4 of us. Well, once we left her house and were driving back to Americus, Sister Berrie pulled out a ...

Hey guys! I hope yall had a great week! It's almost summer! This week was just like any other week. A few crazy things happened, but that's only in Americus.    On Tuesday, we went on exchanges, and my district leader came to Americus. It was a good exchange! A weird thing that happened was that we were visiting someone who put in a request to meet with us. So we pull up to her house, and it's in the projects. So we get out of the car, and I'm automatically overstimulated. Someone has a huge speaker on their porch playing Megan Thee Stallion with no one around it. So we are walking to her apartment and listening to Megan, and we see this guy and ask if he wants to come to church. Before we can get out words out, he is screaming, "NO NO NO." Uh, okay? And we knock on our friends door. She doesn't open it. So we walk back to the car. Megan is still playing (it's not even one of her good songs 🤢). We see someone open their door. We ask if they want to co...

What's up, guys? Another good week. We didn't really have anything crazy going on.    I've just been grinding Duolingo. I'm 1st on the leaderboard, not to brag. Surprisingly, I quit Spanish, so now I'm practicing the piano. I'm not learning anything. It's just a fun game.     Every morning we have been playing pickleball with a family from our branch. It's very fun to play with other people. We lowkey are boss at playing.    A weird thing that happened this week was when we were knocking doors. This guy opened up, and we talked for a but then we asked him it he believed God loved everyone. He said no because in John 3:16, it says, "For God so loved the world..." He doesn't love the whole world. He just loves the world. So basically, we agreed to disagree.    Hopefully, weirder things happen this week!    I love and miss you guys!   -Elder Clayburn
