For E. Rose's last P-Day here, he decided he wanted to go to the tennis
center in Florence. Frank took us there and we met up with the zone leaders. We
played a couple games of tennis and then decided to head back to Hartsville. On
the way back, we stopped by a Waffle House and Bro. Tadlock got dinner for us.

Bro. Tadlock came into town today, so we helped him with some service. We
went to go help Jody clean out a house that he rents out. He had to evict
someone for now paying their bills. We didn't get to teach very much today and
we have to go to transfers tomorrow morning. I'm going to miss Elder Rose. We
got along really well! I asked him to give me a blessing. I am going to try and
get a blessing from each companion that I have before we transfer out.

Transfers! The Edwards took us to transfers in Irmo. When we got there, I
got to see Elder Webb, Arnoldsen and Goff before they left to go to the mission
home. They are heading home! Elder Webb and I related so well and we were really
good friends. I will definantly, want to see him after my mission. He is a
convert to the church and none of his family members are members. He joined the
church around 15 and decided to serve a mission!
My new companion is Elder Staley. He is from SLC, Utah. He seems like a
pretty cool dude. E. Rose went to an area named Greenwood. He's in a car now
which I don't think he's very happy about! On our way back to H-Ville, the
Edwards took us to go eat at Chick Fil A and then took us by the temple. The
Columbia temple is so small! But it's a really pretty place.
When we got to Hartsville, Tammy Barefoot and Jake took us out to eat with
them. She's a less active who we are getting prepared for the temple! After
that, we went to go visit another less active elderly lady named Essie. She
works at Walmart, but we were able to catch her at home.

For lunch, I took E. Staley to Ruth's. Ronnie and Jody were there so we sat
and ate with them! We went and taught a lady who has been on date for baptism
before. Her name is Rosa and we are trying to get her to come to church! Bro.
Krein was able to go with us to teach her. He is the stake patriarch and a very
nice guy! He tries to make himself available each Thursday to go out teaching
with us. The lesson went really well and she said that she is going to be at
church next Sunday!

Sis. Laffidy (Grandma Laffidy) invited us over for dinner tonight. She
hasn't been to church in awhile because she can't get around very well. Before
we went over there, we saw her pull into the grocery store, so we stopped to
help her get groceries. Then, we followed her home and helped unload them! Her
grandson Jeffrey picked us up later and we went over there. She made "hamburger
rolls." She would hollow Italian bread out and stuff hamburger in there with a
really good sauce.

We went to go help Jeffrey move his sister, Mary out of the dorms at Coker
College. Once we moved all of her stuff, he took us to go get some lunch at Yogi
Bear. We had some southern fried chicken! Then, he dropped us off to get our
haircuts. After that, we went to go visit Sis. Mason. She's an interesting
lady.. Haha
I get to talk to my parents tomorrow and I'm so excited! I miss them a lot.
