Dear family,
First off southernism for the week: people call canteloupe can tee lope. I'm fixin to get me some canteelope. It is pretty funny. Also I may be on tuesday next week. It may be monday if i do not get transferred so still write for monday.
We got to have dinner with an awesome couple this week. She is a member and her husband is not. We have been meeting with them for a while now and they are awesome but we are not quite sure why he is not baptized yet. But they are awesome. We also were able to spend time with our ward mission leader and his family. Wednesday was good. We drove to Hattiesburg yet again for a leadership training. It was really good. It was of course on the doctrine of Christ but we also discussed the conference talk "The Honor and Order of the Priesthood" (http://www.lds.org/liahona/2012/06/the-honor-and-order-of-the-priesthood?lang=eng&query=honor+order+priesthood). We talked about how important having the priesthood in the home is and how lucky we are. He related it to the sisters too for how the priesthood is not complete until a temple marriage and stuff. He talked alot more but I cannot remember everything. We also talked about being diligent in all things. Whether it be our missions now or back home. We also talked about how if we are constantly trying to do what is right and keeping in mind Heavenly Father then we will not have room to stray. It was really good. After leadership Sis Richards and I were going on exchanges so I took Sister Aebischer with me and she went to clinton. I also got to have one final interview before President Tucker leaves. He only met with me and my comp though so it was kind of a neat experience to have. Then Sis a and I drove back to meridian and this lady use to be a church book distributor here and she is getting ready to move so she was selling a bunch of stuff and she let the missionaries have whatever they wanted to have. It was awesome. It took all my will power not to take a million books. She was giving away prophets biographies. I only took a couple that i would be able to fit in to my suitcase or that would be easy to send home. We went to a less active ladies house that we visit each week and we used the harvesting tool on her and we were able to bless her home and it was such an amazing experience. I have never had an experience like that. I was saying the prayer and we have specific warning we have to use and after the words just came. It was 100 percent the spirit.
The next day we had district meeting and all but one of us had gone to the training so it was just kind of a fun meeting and not as serious. We played a few games. Then we went to one of the members houses who was driving us to jackson to meet up with the other sisters. We got to spend time at one of the ward members there and it was a lot of fun. Then Friday we went and volunteered at Loves kitchen, the soup kitchen here. It is always quite the experience to do so. We meet a lot of fun random people. Then saturday we tried to contact some people and we went on a 2 mile walk. It is fun because we get to hand out so many mormon.org cards and meet alot of people.
Sunday was really good. Our sacrament service was really good. 2 ward members did this musical number to some sort of country song and the guy played the guitar and it was a good song about fathers but everyone was just kind of confused if it was approved or not and we were looking at the bishop and he was on the stand trying not to laugh haha. it was hilarious. Our lesson was all about doing missionary work and getting over the fear of it. It was great. Then we tried to contact some more people and then we went to dinner at my new favorite families house. They have recently moved in and are just so funny. It is so entertaining to go there.
Sorry this is pretty short. The week was just crazy busy. Here is a link to a mormon.org video. It is one of my favorites. It is hilarious at the beginning what the guy does to the cat. I always have to repeat it 10 times.
Please write letters and all that fun stuff. Love you all.
