First off, the summer in the south might be the death of me! Oh goodness it is getting so hot and humid and the bugs are going crazy! They really like the red hair apparently! But i am doing my best to stay away from them but its gross, we have to wash are car anytime we drive it more than 10 miles cause the window is caked with bugs!! This week was my first transfer we didn't get transfered but we got to go to the meeting to help out and see some people! I got to see my two MTC buddies who were down there and that was an awesome reunion! I'll send you all pictures when i get them myself!
We now have two sets of missionary's in Marianna and its crazy since its such a small town, but it has worked out! The other set is Sister King and Sister King. Apparently President Jensen has a sense of humor! One of the Kings came out with me from the MTC and the other is brand new so they are still shell shocked! They dont have enough trainers for all the sisters that are coming! So the sister king that came out with me called me fat yesterday! I flew out of the MTC with her and she said "my face looks more round now"! haha she totally called me fat in the nicest way possible! Besides that, the King sisters are super awesome and hard workers, the only down side is we have to share the car and it's about to get even hotter!!
This week was also awesome because missionary work is making sense finally! I'm getting out of my bubble and going to talk to people no matter how awkard it is! but i love that it is starting to click, and im getting much better at teaching! We have a solid investiagtor right now! He is a college student that gave me a ride home in the pouring rain my very first day on the mission! his friend who was with him that day was a member and eventually convinced him to talk to the missionaries! He loves it and is enjoying it so much so i will keep yall updated on what happens with him!
I hope all yall where able to take my challenge and pray about the Book of Mormon cause i finished it this week and loved it! I started on page one the next day!!!
Last thing for this week, we were talking about missionary work in Elders quorm and one of the things that was said was will there be any people that look at you after this life and say "you knew all this about the gospel and you didn't tell me". That is going to be a tough one to answer! So every memeber a missionary right! As I'm out here knocking on doors i challange you all to go and talk to someone about Christ or the gospel, a friend or stranger. You all can do it! I love you all!
