Hot and Humid in Houma - June 2

So I am now in Houma...aka Bayou Country. I love it the ward down here
is great. I got to go to my first PEC while being out on my mission.
One of the elders was kind of surprised to hear that I have been out
for 10 months and that was my first PEC and the stake president was
there.
Just a brief bio on my new companion, Sis Wheeler. She is from Idaho,
she is my age and she goes home at the end of the transfer, which
means that I will be staying because there will be only two sisters in
the entire mission that will know this area to some degree. So I
better pay attention to how things are done.
Anyways, I do love it here. The ward is very involved in missionary
work. It is funny though because of the four elders serving in the
ward here, I have served with three of them. All of which where while
I was in Covington and they were in Mandeville. I guess the Lord has
something that I need to learn from all three of them at the same
time. But I also see it as a blessing because then I can create a
tight bond of unity between all of us, I just have to get to know the
fourth elder a bit, which I don't see as a problem because of how much
we work with the elders here and try and communicate everything that
is going on with members and some of the investigators that we share.
Like with one set of the elders they are teaching this family and the
wife has asked us to teach her so that way she can get the female
perspective of the church and what it means. Which we are perfectly
fine with, we just have to go by what the elders have planned for
them.
Well that is all for this week. Not much is going on because I have
been here less then a week, well besides from Thursday to Saturday we
biked at least once everyday. I am just happy that I am not dead yet
because it is a lot hotter and more humid in the bayou then anywhere
else.

Well y'all have a good week.
