Two Decades Of Life And Two Weeks Of Strife

Hello hello hello again, everyone! Coming live from the missionary who can now claim 20 years of age, its Elder  McMullin ! As always, if you would like to send me a cake or fine glitter confetti in the mail, I will happily accept it. But, without further ado, here we go!   This week frankly was poo for work. Between the office and the area, things are moving much more slowly than dear old E. Muffin would prefer. We did a lot of finding, and got exactly two phone numbers. I did give out one Book of Mormon, but the guy left it in his grocery cart and a nice lady gave it back to me, so it was a bit of a moot point. This town is a harder nut to crack than dear old E city, as this place has one thing E city didn’t- money. This town is very glamorous and very fashionable, making it intensely difficult to talk to anyone- especially if you have to scream through brand new Airpod ones or be louder than a full Adidas tracksuit (complete with designer sunglasses). BUT! God has a way of ...

      Hello Hello hello again everyone! Coming live from the hub of international travel I live in, it’s Elder  McMullin ! As always, if you would like to send me any TTE monitors or a slimline microphone, I will happily accept. But, without further ado, here we go!      As all good things must go, I had to leave North Carolina this Thursday. After sweeping those admittedly grungy floors, packing up my detritus of several month’s worth, and slightly breaking the zipper on my suitcase as I tried yet again to make everything fit in as little space as possible, I may have cried just a little bit. I have loved Elizabeth City, and even though it was the toughest area to come into out of bustling Norfolk, I know it's where I needed to be. Plus, the district gave me a grand farewell as we blasted the OBX for our last P day together. First, we went to Jockey’s ridge, the largest (and migratory) sand dune in North Carolina. I say migratory because apparently th...

I Can't Go 6 Months Without Serving By A Temple

Hello hello hello everyone! Coming live from my soon-to-be past area, its Elder  McMullin ! As always, if you would like to send me any Richmond merch or several floppy disks, I will happily accept them! But, without further ado, here we go!     Welp, transfer news came and went, and things are finally changing! I'm leaving this Dismal Swamp and it's Dismal people behind to go and see the big city of Richmond! I'll be covering the area known as Gayton, which is in the district with the temple in it! With my change of scenery, I also get a change of occupation- I will be leaving DL behind for the wonderful and terrifying world of Social Media Leader! Recently, our "office elder" position has been exalted on high to being part of Mission Leadership Conference, as well as part of the worldwide mission effort for online work! This all means that I'll be the code-busting, Facebook-stalking, referral-making machine of a man that president intends me to be! The only ...
