Monroe-Week 1

Justin has been transferred to Monroe, Georgia, which is a small town east of Atlanta.  The ward that he has been assigned to covers Walton County.  The sister missionaries in the area cover Loganville and the Elders cover Monroe.  The church is in Between, the city name is actually Between.  He is living in a loft apartment above a frame shop called "The Guilded Lily".  He says it is an old building.  Monroe is very much like downtown Magna.  He is serving with Elder Stevens from Spokane, Washington.  He will only be with Elder Stevens for a while since he will be going home in about six weeks.  He is doing service once a week at a thrift store called, "The Fish".  He is once again in a tough area of the mission and this is what he had to say about that......"there is alot of work to be done here.  There hasn't been alot of success but I know that I am in Monroe for a reason so I am just going to roll up my sleeves and get to work and work my butt off to find those elect who are ready to hear our message."


He included his small miracle for the week though..."we visited some former investigators and we had one that invited us back so we have a new investigator now!"   He was excited about that.  He included some new pictures this week that I thought I would share.  Here they are.....




Elder....Can I just go in for a minute???




Hmmm.....That's sketchy...

Elder Stevens walking down a super long road, ruined  my perfectly good Sunday.

Our apartment is the top floor.



I want to buy this home and live here after my mission. Just kidding!
