Hi mom!:D
I know its crazy! I got transferred, wasn't expecting it at all. Zone Conference is actually at the Gulf of Mexico, so next time there's Zone Conference, I'll get to go to the beach:) Picayune is 30 minutes from New Orleans and I've been told that if you miss the turn then you'll end up in New Orleans because there isn't opportunity to turn around till you get there. I was hoping we would take miss the turn on the way to Picayune, that would have been so cool!:Dlol I think you're right about the location of my new area but I just got here so I have no idea were anything is lol
I got the fabric bags and thank you!! (I love mine!!!) They're super cute and Sister Moffett wanted me to tell you thank you for her:) We got the package about a week and a half ago so it still had plenty of time. I got Aunt Khristine's letter as well and loved it too! Please tell Aunt Khristine thank for me and tell Jeffery, Beth, Adam, and Anna that I loved their letters too!!:D Also I'm so jealous they got to see the Salt Lake Temple!:D
My new companion is Sister Elms and she's from Washington. She's super sweet and way more touchy feely then Sister Moffett was. She's a great missionary and she also loves to sing, which makes me really happy because Sister Moffett hated singing. So whenever we go and knock doors we just sing the whole time, it's the best:D Yesterday we were knocking doors or tracting and we started to pass the little group of 60ish year old guys. They saw us and asked us to come over to them. We did, and the minute we were close enough, one of the guys asked us to say a prayer for him lol We literally walked up and he bowed his head and gripped our hands and said "say a prayer for me" So we asked his name and Sister Elms said a prayer for him. (I love people in the South lol) And then all his friends wanted us to say prayers for them lol it was great:D The guy we first said a prayer for even asked us go inside his house and say a prayer for his mom. He was going to have us a say one for his brother too but he was sleeping. I love the way people say prayers in South, there're just really into it lol (People in the South really like to hold hands while praying) Everytime we said a prayer the person we were praying for said things like amen, yes Jesus, or thank you. One of the guys asked us to pray for 10 years of good health and another one ask me to pray for his friends and halfway through the prayer when I was just going to prayer for his friends he said "And friends". And they had some friends show up that they wanted us to pray for they would be like "see that guy you need to pray for him" We said at least 7 prayers and give away 7 little cards. After the 7 prayers Sister Elms asked if we could share a scripture and they said that's fine, I don't remember what she shared but they liked it. After that they asked us to say a prayer for one of their friends (
) that just showed up. We did and he was very grateful:) After that we left and as we were walking away the group of guys were saying things like God bless you and spread the word. Almost forgot one of the guys was kinda drunk and asked us to get a demon out of him, so that was fun lol (we just did a normal prayer)
One of the things the a guy said during one of the prayers " yes, yes, YES, YES LORD!!!"
Guess what mom?! Yesterday I was in a food fight!
(it was so fun!) Last night one of the members invited us and the Elders over to eat cupcakes on his porch. By the time the member went to bed there were still tons of cupcakes left and some how we started talking about food fights, and I said that I've always wanted to start a food fight or be in one, which was a mistake on my part. I should not have said that in front of the Elders. Right after I said that Elder Lovell picked up two cupcakes, one in each hand. And stood in front of me and Sister Elms while we were on the porch swing, he asked us which favor we wanted but he was totally threating us. Sister Elms took some frosting from the cupcake then wiped it on my face.Then the war began....:D The minute she put a little bit on my face and I put some of it back on her's, Elder Lovell smashed the two cupcakes in our faces. After that me and Sister Elms were determined to get him back, I was only able to get him once but I got him so good lol Sister Elms got him a couple of times and got it all over his face as well. We ran out of cupcakes fast and for about 40 minutes we were chasing each other all over the place, by the time we ran out me, Sister Elms and Elder Lovell were covered in frosting and cake. The other Elder. Elder Bennett was so clean compared to us. I got a ton in my hair and in my ear, and all over my face. It was so much fun!:Dlol We didn't eat a single cupcake , we destroyed those cupcakes and made a pretty big mess. But there was a hose so we cleaned it all up, including each other lol The elders let us spray them down which was fun and they did the same to us. (we were all soaked lol) When we were finished washing things off we started playing with the hose, but that didn't last very long because we needed to go home, but it was still fun. It was a really fun night and me and Sister Elms still want to get them back, it will probably have something to do with pies lol
There's a lady in that the sisters here have been teaching and she's getting baptized this Saturday. I've met her several times so far and she is so ready to get baptized. She loves the gospel and has a very strong testimony(I LOVE HER!!:D) Her name is Miss B and she's awesome! Her kids aren't sure about her joining the our church so they are planning on coming to church and her baptism to see what its all about. I'm really excited for her. She's a really great missionary and seeing a baptism performed is a great way to introduce them to the church. She is even planning her baptism/and set her own date and that's normally what the missionaries do lol She asked us to perform a song at her baptism so its going to be me Sister Elms and Sister Olsen who originally taught her
Well I got to go but love ya'll and hope your having a wonderful week!!!!!!!:D (LOVE PICAYUNE AND MY NEW COMPANION!!!:D)
Love Sister Keables!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
