Elder Roach in Atlanta Georgia North Mission

What's up y'all, today's Wednesday and I'm going to be emailing. We're going to the temple today which is the reason why we're doing it Wednesday, so that's pretty awesome. I had a really fun filled week here in Georgia and like to tell you all about it. So as far as mission stuff goes, we have been trying to get at least 10 lessons a week and at least 70 contacts a week. We were able to teach a lot last week and we are able to find a bunch of people! We found this one family that I'm really excited about. We were just knocking around and we ran into them. They know a member here really well, in fact the daughter was homeschooled by her, so boom instant fellowshipper, and she happened to be studying about the Apocryphal Book of Enoch. We had an interesting contact about chapter 6 of the Book of Moses, that was a new one. The coolest part was we had the member text her and invite her to church the next day and she came! That was a big lesson, it definitel...

Hi family! What's up? We had a good week! I have a new companion.... Elder Egbert! He's back! After 6 months in Marietta together we're companions. What a wild ride. We have a funny story. So  on Tuesday  here's what happened, we met this guy named Devin, he was blasting rap music, and when we came up he was like "oh! Sorry for the music, I swear I'm Christian!" Then he came out and he kept saying "in Jesus's name amen", because it kept the evil spirits away. Also he's dating a 16 year old and he's 30. While we were talking to him, old red dog came up to us and looked like he was going to kill us, but he gave us a beer and told us to sit with him. (We told him we were Mormon and also that I was 19, but he didn't care) Then he gave us a knife, and then we fixed his mailbox. Just a day in the life. The coolest experience from this week happened right after transfers. It was Elder Egbert's first night here, and we were knocking d...

Hey guys, so I'm going to email you all today. I talked to some of you yesterday, and I heard that you would like to hear more about the actual work and our investigators. Well you picked a great week to hear about that stuff, we met a guy named Brayden this week. We found him Monday night, and he was walking away from us, smoking a cigarette and kind of shady looking. We went and offered him a card and he invited us into his backyard. He has looked at a lot of anti and he has also done a lot of research on the church, so we answered some of his questions (he asked about polygamy and he said he already knew the answer, he was testing us to see if we would try to lie to him about it, and we passed!), and he asked for a Book of Mormon. He texted us later that night and said he already started reading it. Tuesday morning he texted us and said he felt weirdly drawn into the Book and when we sent him a scripture about praying he said he felt like a wave of warm hit him. We were so pumpe...
