This week has gone really well. We have been finding a lot of people as of late, though no one is on date for baptism. Probably the most exciting person being taught, though, is Tammy Littlejohn. Sister Morris and Smith have been teaching her since Saturday before last, and she is going to be baptized on Saturday. I personally haven't been super involved in her conversion, but this will be the first convert baptism I see on my mission. Another person of note is a guy named Robert. We were visiting with the Walls, a less active family, last night and they invited us over for steak and said they would also invite Robert over so that we can teach him at their house. Just as a bit of background, he broke his back and his wife left him with their three kids, all under the age of 4. Needless to say, I think he has being prepared.
I also made fried chicken for the first time. I was surprised at how good it ended up. I did take pictures since this is the first time I have really tried making Southern food, which I consider to be a milestone. I also have been collecting souvenirs a lot quicker than I had expected to, including comic books, a Motab record, a sock monkey, and a palmetto tie.
There is also a really cool story that happened on Saturday. There was a ward picnic that had planned and it started out being freakishly hot. At one point, though, it started getting windy and sprinkling, threatening to turn into one of those legendary Southern rainstorms. Anyhow, Elder Wille was sitting with a kid named Mouse, who is about six years old, holding his hand because he was scared he would blow away. His mom after chasing down flying tin foil and whatnot, took him back to the SUV so that he could get out of what we thought would turn into a really epic rainstorm. Mouse walked out of the SUV a few minutes later and told his mom that he prayed, and Jesus said in would be alright. It was at that point that the storm died down very quickly, almost to the point of totally clear skies within the next hour. It was absolutely incredible.
I love yall!
