Being a Missionary is the Best!! :D


Hiiii:D
I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures lol Mississippi, it is super green and it gets prettier everyday, I have more pictures for you and they're better than the ones from last week.  
Thank you and happy early mothers day!! The in people in Mississippi are great and say some really funny things lol One of the ladies in our ward got baptized a week before I got here, but I was able to be there for her comfirmation. Her name is Judith and she's super funny. A couple of weeks ago her cat had babies and we got to see them when we visited her. The next day we saw her again and also saw the kittens. When we saw them the kittens looked super stiff and weren't moving.  Me and Sister Moffett looked at each (pretty confident that they were dead) I asked if I could poke them to see if they were still alive. When we said they were dead Judith looked so surprised lol And then she just said "well I don't care" I promise Judith isn't a horrible person, just the way she said it and how surprised she was made it really funny:) lol She also told us she'd asked one of the members if they wanted a kitten.
Judith>  "Good thing they said no"
Sis Moffett> "Can you imagine, here's a dead kitten"
Random member> "Judith, it ain't moving"
Judith>  "Well it was yesterday"
We literally laughed for 15 minutes, that sounds really horrible but Judith was being really funny and so was Sister Moffett lol
Judith lives really close to our apartment so on the way to church we stopped by her house and asked for a ride to church because we were running low on miles. On the way out the door I fell, and she and Sister Moffett just went off laughing. Judith had to sit down because she was laughing so hard:D lol When we got in the car they were still laughing and every time she started it she stopped it because we started laughing again. It was a great day:D Every time we go over there we can guarantee laughing:)
One of the things we try really hard to do is invite people to church, everyone we meet we invite to church and since I've gotten here it's only happened twice. Yesterday on the way to church we were stopping by investigators houses and inviting them to church but no one was answering their doors. When we got to church we started talking to people but sadly we didn't see any of our investigators come in. During the opening song (we sit in the back row) Tim, his daughter, and niece come in. They're one of the families we shared a scripture with but haven't seen in a few weeks, and one of the last families I would have expected. When we saw them and waved to them I was so happy!:D It was so great to see them there, plus they stayed for all three hours and enjoyed it!! I asked Tim if he liked it but it's hard to understand him because he doesn't have a tongue..........I'm not lying he really doesn't have a tongue.  He also doesn't have........one eye. He wears a eye patch and has a beard, he looks a little like a pirate :D Tim is super nice and his daughter and niece loved church, the girls are super cute and really want to come back. When they came to church, it made my day, I really hope they come back next week.

Its been a great week and being a missionary is the best!!:D Wish i was a faster typer so i could write more or we had two P-days, there's so much to do. But I have pics so hopefully that will make my emails more exciting lol. tell Whitney and Jordan that i'm sorry that i haven't been able to write them back and that i try really hard next week!! Also i need everyone's address so I can write them if I want to, thanks mom!:D<3
