Life in Botetourt county is going along quite well. We have the baptism for the Jones family this Sunday. We are very excited I will include a picture of the Jones my next email and how the baptism went. We are just teaching them and preparing them for the covenant they are about to make. They are great people.
We found a few new investigators who have potential and we hope that they will follow the path to baptism. We have also been doing a lot of service this week and it will continue to do more as the weather improves.
Today we will be vising some caves or caverns as a Zone, which is a group of missionaries about 40 people. Afterward we might play some baseball at a nearby park. After our preparation day is over we will see two more investigators.
Last time I talked about how some cultural differences here, one thing that I forgot to mention is that everyone down here has a horse. Even if you life in the city, you have a friend or a family member that owns a horse. We as missionaries are unfortunately not allowed to ride them. The Jones family has a couple of horses and are involved heavily with Civil War re-enactments. Before Elder Peine and I leave the area, we are going with them to buy some "real cowboy boots" at discount prices of course. The Jones know a place.
That's about all that is going on over in these parts. I hope ya'll is doing well and happy. I hope you had a happy Easter. It's great to be a Mormon. :)
Sincerely,
Elder Eric Kochenderfer
