Hey familia!! So I am now serving in
Huntersville North Carolina.
It is a great place, and I have already gotten
to know quite a few people. It is much different than Danville was.
Most of the people here have a much higher income bracket, which is good
and bad at the same time. It is harder to teach a lot of lessons,
and to have a lot of Investigators at one time. But, when you do have
a solid Investigator that person is more real growth. We are able to
have more real growth. We live
in an apartment complex now, instead
of a house as well. The area that we are working with is much smaller
as well. But the Huntersville ward is great. So as for the picture, we went
to sacrament meeting, and it was ward conference. Brother blue is the
stake choir director, so he was at our ward conference. I thought
I recognized him from somewhere, so I just introduced myself to him. After
sacrament meeting he came up to me and asked for a picture with me
that he could send to Brother Jose. He was a great guy. My new companions name is
Elder Teichert. He is from Cokeville Wyoming. He has been out on his mission
for 13 months now, and he is great. I have already learned so
much from him. He comes from a family of 13 and is number 10. He is also the
district leader here.
We have been doing a lot of
personal finding and knocking doors here lately. So, most of the doors we
knock on the people are nice, but don't have time and are not interested.
Some just say no thanks and shut the door. I really hope Cris is able to do
good at his last match. I know he can do it. He so good enough to take both of them. I heard that the Olympics had started. That is pretty sweet that she took fifth. I'm really excited to hear how everyone does.
The water situation seems pretty crazy too. I can't believe that we don't have more snow :/ hopefully at some point we will be able to get more so that we can irrigate. Huntersville is a city, but it is more of a suburb of Charlotte. I do like it here, but it so really different. Most of the people in the ward are young families just out of college or so. Around 25-32 I would say is the average age of most of the people here. Something that you could all pray for is that we will be able help our Investigators really start to progress. Thank you for all of your love and support. I love you!! Love, Elder Jorgensen. Oh, so I met a Sister Jorgensen that is in my zone. She is from Utah. There is also an Elder in my zone who is from Tetonia I think, and he knows Braden and Uncle Randy. I thought that was pretty cool!
