I have to say that all my siblings are a trip. I love you all. Sara
that was such a good email and definitely put a smile on my face. If
everyone in the family didn't get a chance to read it yall should ask
her to show you. :) I cant believe Jenni is prego again. That is so
awesome. I'm exited for that when I come home. Other than that I just
love all of you. Mom, I have read that scripture in ezekiel. In fact
Pre. Marshall shared that exact scripture and explained it to me when I
had my interview with him to go to the temple for the first time. Also I
guess you don't remember, but on the drive up to the temple for that
endowment session I shared that scripture and explanation with you and
dad. :) It's okay though we all need refreshers. hahaha
So I hope Ryan is doing well...
And I hope Brianne is doing well...
Well things here are going great. Besides the fact that it was 105
and 80% humidity everything was just dandy. Our week was as good as we
had hoped, but we definitely worked hard. We did so much this week to
find elect people and we literally sweated doing it. It was a tough
week, because we really did a lot and at first we had a lot, but slowly
our lessons began to fall. People for some reason just couldn't keep
their appointments this week. It was very upsetting. But on the upside
we did find one man who was a friend of a member we had with us and he
with his young family seem very promising. When we knocked on his door
he told us to wait just a minute because he was finishing up the
spaghetti he was making for his dogs. They do what they want out here.
Anyway he finally invited us in and we began to meet this wonderful man.
He is 32 and has two little kids. They are married which is soooooooo
wonderful since everyone else we teach seems to be just living together
and starting families, but never getting married. It's a real problem
out here. Anyway we were excited to hear that and come to find out he
had just started reading a book that has inspired him to find
spirituality and a church. Well HERE WE ARE!!!!!! It was great, we
explained a little about the plan of salvation because he showed a
concern about wanting to have an eternal family and everything just went
well. We are excited to see where this goes.
Other than that we taught a lot of lessons, but nothing as solid as
that. This week should be an interesting one though. We have the 4th
coming up and who knows what these southerners will have cooked up for
that day. I assume we will see a lot of confederate flags next to the
American one though. I love the south. These people are so great. A lot
of them are very hardhearted and stuck in their ways, but they are still
super loving and just amazing. Plus I'm falling in love with the
southern draw. Well that's pretty much been our week.
Oh we did lose Pres. Cotterell the 28th. President Bernhisel and
his wife are here and already working hard I assume. We officially meet
them tomorrow so that will be exciting. Other than that the only other
exciting thing is what I have eaten this week. It's funny that yall can
almost expect some random food thing to be in my emails almost weekly. 
Well this week it was corn worms. You will be seeing pictures eventually
and a couple videos whenever I send the SD card. But anyway we were out
shucking corn with our ward mission leader and almost every cob had
these little caterpillar worm things on them and he decide that was
going to be our dinner. So we collected them and fried them up over the
fire we started. We just stuck them on some tinfoil with a little butter
and salsa and that was what we ate. Surprisingly it was decent. I don't
know how to explain it any other way. I guess yall could try it. :)
Well that was our week in the grand ole city of pickles.
