Gatorade Electric Blue

It was another full week! MLC was a straight party, Elder Beaver taped a Krispy Kreme logo onto my PMG, and we biked the 10 miles of beach up and down all day everyday. What more could you want?? This is my favorite verse from my studies this week!  3 Nephi 20:40 "And then shall they say: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings unto them, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings unto them of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion: Thy God reigneth" Jesus Christ can overcome anything! Life will be filled with so much peace once you truly embrace that truth.  Love yall!! 

A Sister's Beach Vacation

Now that I've been in 2 Mississippi areas and 2 Louisiana, I can confidently say that folks here think Louisiana is a bunch of heathens, and folks there think Mississippi is a bunch of snooty snoots. They're so different!! Different accents, slang, food, traffic and trends. The trash talk gets real.  Gulfport Zone is BLESSED! We're already besties, either because we're the smallest zone in the mission, or because we ate raw eggs shell and all on the first zone call together. Diiiiiisgusting  Biking this area is a party!! It rained all week but as much as I love biking in the rain it was nothing compared to biking on the beach in the rain!! Euphoric.  We found an ELECT family of 6 in the hood this week. We parked in this church lot to make some calls, and a neighbor reported an ACTIVE BURGLARY so we had four cop cars pull up on us. Once we plead innocent and shared a message w the cops we ran into the Frazier family next door!! They are the only family I've met from

This week flew by!!  As of right now, every elder in our district has broken into our apartment for various reasons- needed Tylenol, the bathroom, better wall decorations etc. Don't blame em for that last one tho, we retaliated today and their apt ain't pretty.  Got Transfer News, going to Long Beach, MS! I'm seriously gonna miss Maddy and Jacksons cute little strip-mall-turned-churchhouse but I'm stoked to be on the coast!  Jackson elders had a baptism! Elder Godfrey pulled the poor girls hair off mid-dunk, and the font had probably 10 massive dead spiders but it was such a good day.  Another great week in the LBRM!! Stay blessed yall 

God Is In This Gas Station

I missed my last email so I'll just bullet point the past two weeks real quick!  Stayed up on New years to ring in 2023 and make emergency calls Crazy story! A friend we'd dropped a while back ran into a guy being taught by the Clinton elders- he saw her BOM in the car and asked her if she's working with missionaries too, and literally asked her out. Now they're both in it to win it. God loves love that's all I'm gonna say.  The Brandon elders caught, drowned, and cooked a coon. For some reason we trusted it in a pot of gumbo on zone pday. No fatal repercussions yet other than a chiefly call from President.  Our district has been torn apart by the game Secret Hitler. No further comment.  Sister Willy had her birthday!! We were on exchanges in our quad so Sister Spangler and I set up a lil party for her, and we treated ourselves to olive garden fo dinner. JXN elders broke into our apartment and stole our massive flag of Jesus. The prank war has officially begun.
