Welcome to Culpeper!

Hi Mom!

Great news!!  Im stayng in Culpeper again! My new companion is Elder Ravia. He is from the Island of Fiji. He is about my heigth but way bigger than me. He is really nice and he is way awesome so i am excited for this next transfer. This week was pretty slow but sill a good one. Matt and Jessica have fallen of date again. They had mess up with smoking and didnt come to church this week so they have to be postponed for a little while. But tiffany is still on date. She is going to be baptized this week on saturday. We stopped by Mrs Kelsey's yesterday. She just got back from the beach house out in North Carolina. She was telling us all about it and all the fun she had. Her nickname for Elder Ravia is Tank hahaha. Its definitley fitting.

At the transfer meeting right before the calls president riggs took about 20 minutes talking about change hahaha. Everyone was like "o boy". Then as soon as we got home the ZLs called and told us that our weekley meetings were all changed now.  The way they have it set up now, you only see everyone in your Zone at Zone sports. Everyother week we drive to Spotsylvania and only meet with them and our roomates. Then the other weeks they drive here and meet in culpeper with us. So it saves us a lot of miles. But its is just going to be wierd at first but its for the good.

O ya here is the big story for the week. We got this text from a member on thursday telling us not to use our water at home. He then told us that they were doing construction and broke a water line and that all the water was contaminated. So he took us out to get groceries and bottled water after he got off work. I told elder Ravia this was his welcoming to Culpeper hahaha. So ya other than that it was just a normal week. Wiley Craighead (the man we have been working with) bought a limo so we took some pictures in that and he said that he would drive us to Fredericksburg to pick up other missionaries and bring them back for a cook out so thats gonna be fun.

Tell everyone I said hello and I'm doing great!  I haven't gotten the packages you or President B had sent, but hopefully I will this week.  Sometimes it just takes a while to catch up with us.  Have a great week mom, I  love ya man!

 

Love Elder Powell
