Where
I'm at: Arkansas is so crazy cool. The weather has been pretty kind and the
food is all delicious. I'm not sure I knew this before, but you can grow fruit
just in a whim during the summer. It's so lovely. One interesting thing is that
because it is so humid and hot outside, all air conditioning is super high. So
you go into a place and it feels great for the first 5 minutes, but then it
gets so cold that you need to put on your cardigan. That was certainty
unexpected.
Funny:
We went to an investigators house and tried to see if he was home. After a few
minutes we moved on, but i couldn't help noticing that he had a generic store-bought
DVD with the label "Divergent" written on in black sharpie. So,
apparently, Arkadelphia has a big DVD section in the Black Market. We probably
should teach him to live the law of the land.
Spiritual:
The day after i arrived in Arkansas, i got to meet for an interview with
President Wakolo and it was really encouraging. I got to tell him about my goal
to acquire some specific traits that i really admired in my return missionary
friends and he told me that my goal is actually really on track with what the
mission focus is and that i have come to the right mission. It seems awesome.
We focus on becoming more Christlike through obedience, attitude, gospel
knowledge, and work ethics. I believe in the power of all of those things and i
love that i get to learn to balance all four of those pillars in my
studies.
These
good things are just getting started :)

P.S.
We ended up getting the car from the elders and they used up all the miles.
Very nice of them. So, we have been having a bike week. I ended up catching a
bug in my eye at one point and I told my companion. She was genuinely concerned
for me so she told me "Don't swallow the fireflies!" as we biked home
in the dark that night. If you were wondering, I did not swallow any fireflies.
I would consider that a complete success.
The
drawl here is so awesome. I really really want to pick it up. I will go and i
will do 😉 there are also so many black people.
It's crazy. Most people already believe in Jesus Christ so we always carry a
copy of the Book of Mormon and a copy of the Bible. Also everyone has pets.
Cats are great as long as they don't touch me.
I have totally missed you. But not really, I mostly have
been having a really good time. I mean, that came out wrong. I'm really
happy.
