Livin- Learnin- Lovin- in Louisiana

  Hola Hola!!!  These past three weeks have been a blast and a half!  Went on exchanges with Sister Rudin and we went and got absolutely demolished by Sheila!!!!  Welcomed us in so lovingly then told us we are going to hell and we are going to remember Ms. Sheila when we get to the judgment bar and wish we listened to her!!!!!  I wanted to tell her the exact same thing!!!  Walking out of situations like that is like a breath of fresh air and truly just strengthens my testimony!!!!!  I love getting bashed!  Got a referral for Morice who lives in Junction City so we stopped by on our way thru to district council!!  Turns out he is James' pastor!!!!  James is one of the sisters friends who knows the Book of Mormon is true but just won't admit it!!!  He always says "well I went to my pastor and he said this..."

The couple left behind four adult children, five grandchildren and his successful dental practice to answer the call to help train more than 200 missionaries for the service of Jesus Christ. Smuin said the mission comprises about 60 churches in most of Louisiana a...
