Hello
Friends and FAMILY!!
It's now been a whole
month of being out as a missionary! Woot! Crazy how time flies! Friday,
was my first Zone Conference! It was a 3 hour drive to Tulsa. It was worth it
though. I learned so much about what I need to do to be that better missionary!
It was nice to see all the other missionaries too! Sometimes when you’re so far
from others, you forget that you’re not the only one out on a mission.

This week became an
official Oklahoman, when I ran over an armadillo. It sadly I couldn't avoid
hitting it. The roads were wet and I had a 5 second decision to make. I felt
horrible about it and couldn't help cry a little about hitting the poor guy. My
companion (Sister Harris) likes to refer to me a murder and tells people that
I'm a killer. It's all in good fun though....I think.

Well, it's hot here and
getting ridiculously muggy. Here it starts off as somewhat cool, then it just
builds into this awesome heat that doesn't let up tell past midnight. So
walking out in this awesome heat and mugginess is great character building
experience.
Another great things
that comes with the heat is snakes. They are EVERYWHERE out here. I do mean
EVERYWHERE!! We have to be very careful while we are out walking and always
looking on the side of roads for them. We did see a snake and the first thing
we did was take a picture of it. It didn't hurt us or anything. So that's
awesome.
We have two new
investigators this week and one of them is a Jehovah Witness! We think it would
be awesome to convert one of them. The Baptist out here are more than a little
scared of us. They think we are some cult and have the devil tapped inside of
us. They like to go around to member’s homes and pray for their souls. They are
just so cute when they tell me I'm a Sorcerer or the devil worshiper. Good
times, good times.
Well, I'm got to run.
Got to go save some souls!
Here's my address if
anyone wants to send me some letters...hint, hint!
Rt 1 box 1347

Love to all!
