Field Week 1

So...a lot can happen between President telling a new missionary were they are serving and were he says they are going in transfer meeting. I am proof of that. I was going to be in Alexandria but now I am in the wonderful area of Covington. I love it here and I love Louisiana so far. I can stand the humidity pretty well, and I love how green it is. My apartment is surrounded by trees and a stream. Because we have water near by we also have frogs that we fall asleep to. My companions name is Sister Tiller, she's from Salt Lake, and is awesome sauce.
 

On my first day here we had a dinner appointment and we had stuffed peppers. I knew that the meat wasn't hamburger or sausage so I decided I better not ask. At that same appointment I had chicken liver, which was alright, but I say that because it was wrapped in bacon. I can say now that I have tried some interesting stuff while being here only a week.

 

I have taught the first lesson twice in the field so far. Once in a members home, we were teaching a coworker of the brothers, and on the door step of a single guy who really wants to get married. We don't know how those two will end up playing out.

 

I suggest that you feed the missionaries well and often because it helps not only them but you as well. The ward that I am in has a goal to have the missionaries (there are three companionship) in their homes to eat and teach a lesson. I would highly suggest that you try it also.

 

Look for ways to serve, love, and teach those around you. Remember who you are and who you represent being a member of this church.

PS These are pic of some of the things that I have found......to explain the stairs one, they are steep enough that I go up and down slowly AND I have to have the light on when I do. Dad I thought you would like the Tabasco one.
