Livin- Learnin- Lovin- in Louisiana

  Had a grand idea of a cute lil BBQ for pday last week... Got burgers and dawgs but the elders forgot the grill :)))  Ended up cooking them in the oven.  I never ever want a hamburger again.  Last zone conference with President and Sister Amos this week :(((  That was the saddest thing ever!  We get President and Sister Smuin this week and I am so excited!!  Getting a new mission President is such a bitter sweet thing!  We had a devotional with Elder Corbett a couple weeks ago and he talked about how we knew and were best friends with our mission President in heaven!!! And I am lucky enough to have know two!!!  Found out that me and Brenda are birthday twins!!!  No wonder why she's my bestie.  Had the sweetest lesson with the sweetest lady Clara!!! She love love loves her Bible buttt she love love loves meeting with us even more!!!!  She truly has so many good questions that the gospel answers so easily!!!  The one that a...

  Look who's back, back again!!!  This week was full of miracles!!! We had a lesson with Deserae and Pamela and put both of them on date for baptism!!! Now, just because they are on date doesn't mean it's a baptism in the bucket... butttt it was still such a big step for them to accept that invitation!!! When we first started meeting with Deserae she would start her prayers by saying "God" or "Dear Lord" but now she says "Dear Heavenly Father" and addresses Him by that throughout her prayers!!!!  She is literally so tender!  This week we had MLC down in Biloxi!!  El Dorado is at the top left corner of the mission and Biloxi is at the bottom right corner of the mission!!!  So that means 7 HOUR DRIVES BABYYY!  We left Friday, had MLC Saturday and then headed home right after that!!  Wayyyy too much driving. MLC was such a cool experience!!  Elder Neilson from the Presidency of the Seventy came and shared with us some pretty cool stuff!!  H...

  Oopsies sorry everyone definitely was way busy last week and didn't write an email....  Recap of the past 2 weeks here we go!  Went on exchanges in Bastrop with Sister Burrows and saw so so many miracles!!  The Bastrop branch has been praying for a family and while on exchanges we found such an elect family!!! The sisters have since met with them and they are progressing so so well!!  Stopped in Junction City on our way home from exchanges and had a lesson with our recent convert Brenda at Ms.Gwen's house!  Ms.Gwen was telling us how she went to Walmart to get snacks to give to the kids in the apartment complex!  Then every 5 minutes a child would come in to buy snacks from her.  I was dying because I was like "ohhh she's so nice to do that for the kids" when in all reality she's got a full on business going!  Went and helped at the food pantry and this time we were bagging raw chicken quarters into ziplock bags for them to get out.  W...
