Richton, MS- Week #60

How ya derrin y'all?! 

We is doing good and just enjoying life as missionaries! As many of you know this is the final week of this transfer, it is crazy how fast the time goes! This week has been a goodn'! Sorry if any of y'all were expecting an email from me last week, we literally didn't have any time on the computer! So, y'all will be getting TWO emails from me today with pictures, so hopefully that will make it up! We just finished week 5 of the transfer! Holy smokes!! It was a good week though (: 

This week we had exchanges! Sister Nash came with me to Sandhill! We had a blast!! I was just a little bit nervous to take over the area for the day, but it went well! I have not done that in a really long time! We were busy bees! We had dinner with Sister B again and Sister Nash was super excited!! She has heard a lot about her from the other sisters who have served in this area, and her dream came true! She is definitely one of the sweetest ladies, she is always doing missionary work where ever she goes! We also saw a couple of potentials we haven't seen in a while and it went really well! We had return appointments to see them later in the week but unfortunately they weren't home. But that is okay! We managed to find use of our time because we are super cool! 

We also got to go to the nursing home this week! Surprisingly we didn't sing at all to them! We just sat and talked with all of them which was really nice! I love everyone there! They are just the sweetest! We also got to see one of our investigators Sam! We haven't seen her in a while because he grandson was having surgery, but we were SO happy to see her! Hopefully we will see her at church on Sunday! 

On Saturday morning we saw Miss Gracie! Unfortunately her shower faucet was leaking and she just needed somebody to come help her! We tried to send Charles but it didn't really go well. He told her 3 different times when he would go over but HE NEVER DID! Oh well, we love him anyways! She was so funny that day! We planned to read the Book Of Mormon with her, and the poor thing was soo tired! She was up for a lot of the night and didn't get any sleep! We had a good conversation but man, right as we were starting to read the scriptures she was out! It was crazy because I didn't notice! I was about to read the next verse and Sister Saunders was trying to get my attention and she was like "Look! Ms Gracie is asleep!" We didn't really know what to do because neither of us has experienced this before and so we sat there for like 5 minutes...and then she woke up and was like "Sorry I didn't mean to sleep on y'all!" And we were like it is okay! And then we started reading again..AND THEN SHE DID IT AGAIN! hahah it was sooo funny! I love the people here in the south! 

Anyways those are the main highlights for the week! I hope y'all had a great week! Here are another few things I learned this week that were pretty funny. 

1) True southerns say "Aggrivating" and I also learned that I am now a true southern because I say it now. 

2) Learned how to make crack 

3) "Trees are broken" - Sister Saunders 

4) If you want to quit smoking, you start with "dipping" first and eat so much of it you throw up and then you will lose your taste for smoking!

Love y'all have a great week! (: 


Sweet Sister Eaton sending me some pics. Adored these two together!
