Panic Button!!!!!

Funny: Our Zone Conference where we got to meet our new Mission President was this last Tuesday and my companion were so excited. We had a ride lined up so that we would be there 30 minutes early and get to talk to everyone and do a little bit of studies. We were so prepared. On the morning of, we were doing our planning and we decided to call our district leader to ask what time the meeting ended. He answered us and said that it started at 12. We were like "but it starts at 12..." and he told us "no, it starts at 9." It was 8:30. The church building was an hour away. PANIC BUTTON!!! We grabbed the necessities, rushed out to the car, and sped away. By many miracles, we arrived in Little Rock by 9:20 so we were only 20 minutes late. Still. Everybody knew we had come late and it was so embarrassing. President and Sister Hansen were really kind about it, but it was way awkward. 

Spiritual: An awesome investigator named Mabel had lots of questions and concerns about prophets. I was able to tell her about the church right after Joseph Smith died and I was able to testify that my very own ancestors say the mantle be passed to Brigham Young. It was amazing. I'm definitely catching on to this Spirit of Elijah thing. 

Where I'm at: I've been in Arkadelphia for 3 weeks now and its growing on me. I can find my way home as long as i can get to Caddo Street, or 26th Street. We get to cook often so I got to make cake mix cookies and it has been fun to meet the members of this small branch. My companion is super fun. I'm doing very well :)

My fondest regards,
