Dawsonville-Week 1

Well Justin has been transferred to Dawsonville, Georgia which is north is where he was serving.  He has been called as district leader up there.  We heard from Bishop Allphin, who Justin served with in Jonesboro, letting us know how much they were going to miss him and what an awesome missionary he was.  It does your heart good to hear that as his mom.  Justin says he was an awesome bishop and he loved working him.  So this is his update this week......I miss Jonesboro a lot but I know that I am supposed to be in this area right now.  Dawsonville is straight country and I love it!!  Everyone drives a truck, everyone has lifts on their trucks.  The people here are so friendly.  We went to a members home this week, his name is Bro. S and he owns his own farm, he has chickens, peacocks and like 7 horses.  It is sweet!!  He lives up in Dahlonega though.  So like I said it is very country people just let their chickens roam the yard and stuff, it is weird because the chickens they watch you and follow you.  The ward is broken up into two parts Dahlonega and Dawsonville.  But it is all one ward.  The Dahlonega Elders are Elders Chambers from Woods Cross and Elder Thorne from Orem, Utah.  In Dawsonville, it is myself and my companion Elder Childs, who is from Gunnison, Utah.  The district is just the four of us and we live about 15 miles from the church.  The church is like half way between both sets of missionaries.  The people here are way nice, the ward members pretty much love  the missionaries and they are like all converts.  Oh and like Magna, everyone is related, you should see the ward roster.  I am the oldest in this district by 5 weeks, Elder Chambers is right behind me.  Tiny miracle for this week....well when I got here there were no investigators at all, not one, and this week we went to work and started working through the area book and we found someone, a nice lady who was taught before, she lives in the middle of no where.  We had a good discussion with her but we will see what happens.  We do a lot of service in this area apparently.  I am excited to be here and I know that the Lord wants me here.  I love and miss y'all.
