So Justin has spent his first week in Jonesboro. This is some of his email this week. "Well Jonesboro, or what we like to call it J-Breeze is a great area, it is very big and very ghetto. The meeting house looks like ours back hom but older...the ward is super small. We have spanish speaking branch so the spanish Elder's live super close to us. My companion is Elder Keliikoa from Moreno Valley California. He is half black and half Hawaiian. My district that I am over is me and my companion, Elder Neri and Elder Sarniguet (the spanish missionaries), the Flint River Ward elders and a senior couple. I am settling in pretty well. The area is just below Atlanta. It is a great area and very fast paced. We cover about three different counties, I think. I finally get to drive a car...a brand new Ford Fusion, I still can't believe it. We have alot of work going on here. Being district leader is very different and it is a lot of responsibility but I know that I have been sent here for a reason. Jonesboro is refreshing but there is a lot to be done. I gave my testimony in sacrament meeting this last Sunday and it was amazing to see how much my testimony has grown and how much I've changed. I love serving the Lord so much. My little miracle is that when I got here, I guess we started picking up new investigators and the work has really started to pick up. It is crazy how the Lord works and how he is in this work. I've seen miracles happen on my mission and I will never forget those miracles it has changed my life so much. I pray for y'all everyday and miss ya a ton.
