Hattiesburg, MS- Week #28

	Hey ya'll! I hope you guys had a fantastic week! The holidays are coming up! Shout out to my family! I can't wait to skype in like a month from now!! I cannot believe it is already thanksgiving! Another shout out to my Brother Logan! He turns 18 tomorrow! He is such a stud! If any of you see him today or tomorrow please tell him happy birthday! Please tell him I said HAPPY BIRTHDAY! This week was okay, it wasn't our best week. We didn't have the car this week and so sister Abril and I had to bike! I don't mind biking, it is beautiful here! However, my bike is not working. We were about to do some missionary work and then my back tire was super flat! hahah I thought it was pretty funny. So, I am pretty positive that Sister Abril and I walked 5 miles that day! We had some far out appointments. It gave us an opportunity to talk to so many people along the way though. We met some pretty cool potentials. We hope they accept our message! So, update on Mississippi weather, We just had daylight savings a couple of weeks ago, and so now it gets dark outside right at 5:30! Not a minute earlier or not a minute later! It is pretty crazy! We used to be outside until 8:30, but not anymore! It looks like midnight at about 6:00 pm! It is so funny, when it gets dark here a lot of people just go to sleep, so they don't like to talk with us at night much, but its okay! We understand! Anyways, so today Jonathan and Latifa will be moving so we are going to be spending a lot of our time today helping them move. They will still be in Hattiesburg! We get to keep them thankfully! We decided to post pone their baptism not because they aren't ready, but because we want to make the best out of their experience, and they agreed with us to wait! I will keep ya'll posted! Thanks for all the prayers we really appreciate it! I hope I can be here for their baptism, I could be transferred right after thanksgiving! I will keep ya'll posted with that! Thanks for all you do! You are all amazing (:   Wow, this has been probably one of my favorite emails that you have sent me so far!! I am dying of laughter because of Logan, and in tears because I got CAUGHT! Oh my goodness, that is so FUNNY! hahaha. I feel bad Logan couldn't go with Sophie, dang! At least he found a date! good for him! I hope he is loving senior year, it flies by way quick! And please tell him HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I am sending him a little surprise in the mail and I think he will like it! Little Woggie is 18 :( WHAT THE HECK! I totally miss that guy and I am really sad I am missing his birthday. I am pretty sure I am bugging the crap out of my companion about it. I can't stop talking about my family! I hope you guys know that I bring ya'll up probably 3,000 times a day. To everyone I talk to really! You guys are a huge part of my heart and I have been really missing you. In fact I sent a couple letters this past week, I hope you got them. I am so bad at writing letters, but I am determined to make the time to do it! I thought the Grinch thing was hilarious! Of course they make a freaking twitter page about it! While they make that page, I am writing my testimony on an anonymous instagram page! hahahhah. That is SO FUNNY! Man, reading your emails are the best. They make me so happy! This week has been okay, not our best week. Sister Abril has pretty severe depression and anxiety, and so she is prone to be angry way easily.The sad thing about it too is everything that she says is so negative. I really feel awful for anyone who goes through anxiety and depression. Please pray with me for Sister Abril, and please pray for me as I continue to work with her. I pray that I will continue to be patient and loving to her, I pray to serve her. And I am the complete opposite of that! You know me very well, You know I would be very loving and patient with her. I have been the past 12 weeks but this last week has been pretty hard. I feel so bad for feeling this way and not understanding fully what she is going through. I have never had friends that went through anything like this, this is pretty new and hard for me. Maybe I am being a little too hard on myself, and maybe a bit hard on her because she says it is really hard to control it. I am trying to help her change her thoughts. I have tried to help her by replacing the words "I can't, I wont, I am done, this is stupid ect, and instead say, " I can, I will, I can do this a little bit longer even though it is hard". It is hard to help her if she doesn't want to try. Her self-confidence is very sensitive. I remember a time where I struggled with that too so I would try to share my personal experiences to help her. Other than that everything is great! Latifa and Jonathan are moving today, tomorrow, and on wednesday so we will be helping them out! We have a dinner appointment tonight with my favorite family in the ward! I am super excited! They are awesome. I will try to get pictures with them! That is how our P-day will go this week! I am trying to remember last week, so we had an appointment with Shirley and we met with her and she actually DROPPED us.:( I was SUPER upset. I had been meeting with this women for 5 months now, and she decided that this is not what she wanted and asked us to not come back for a while. I balled. I don't know which is worse, to drop them? Or them to drop us? They are both pretty sad. This week we were on bikes the elders had the car and when we went to go bike, we found out that my back tire was flat. And there is actually a hole in the tire so I may have to add some slime in the tube or get a new tire. But that didn't stop us from doing missionary work! We WALKED 5 miles. And it was awesome! Sister Abril didn't like it but the weather was nice and we were able to meet more people! we will get the car back on wednesday though so we are pretty excited! I have some pictures of my converts, and investigators! So now I feel more prepared to leave Hattiesburg:( I am super nervous but I am excited to see a new area and meet my new companion! It should be fun! Well that was my week. I have some letters that I sent to ya'll! I hope you get them soon. I will be sending Logan's gift today. I love you guys! Thanks for everything you do! Just a few more week then I get to see your FACES! AH! I AM SO EXCITED! I can't wait to hear from you next week! - love sister scott (:
