Hi familia!

So....remember what I said last time? Well, apparently I'm not in the really rich part of K. That is the other two wards. I am however, in the ward that we were having trouble with in A. I'm not too excited about that. I'm not gonna lie, the Lord has a funny sense of humor. I'm excited to learn and grow. This is probably the only place in the mish that I wouldn't have ever wanted to go....hence I get to learn and grow.

Sister F. can't drive so I've been driving all over the place. Our area is super small but I'm still having a hard time figuring it out. It is pretty windy, but I am going to love it. We are meeting some potential investigators that were left and weeding out all the lists. The place is color coated so I am trying to match all the potentials sheets with that.

The ward members are really doing missionary work it seems. I'm excited about that.

We are going to have two dinners this coming Friday. We had one scheduled and then we talked to an inactive with lots of nonmember friends living with her to have a game night. She is super excited and her nephew said he'd cook steaks for us. 5:30 dinner, and for the second dessert (because there is ALWAYS dessert for the missionaries), steak. Yum.....I may gain some weight here....haha.

Well, I wish I had some exciting stories. I am going to Zone Leader Council today. President is letting me email on his computer. That is fun. I feel so official! We are presenting on how to plan because apparently they think I know how to plan effectively. I learned yesterday that the A. Elders had 8 lessons with members there....we set those up for them. It was going to be a rocking week and I was excited for it. Instead, they enjoyed that. I'll still get to go to the baptisms.... haha

Oh! Fun story, then I'm going to go.
In this ward, we play soccer on Saturdays. That was fun. I was having so much fun! AND the weather is cooling off so it was only in the 80s and super humid....perfect weather, eh? Well, 80 seems cold now, so I was loving it. They kept saying, "we have to watch this one" because I was playing the middle and creating some sweet passing triangles.

On Monday we played bball with the Elders. They were all trying to stuff me because I kept scoring. Elder J. said it was going to be the last thing he did....He didn't get the chance. I was smack talking a little but only because they were being so funny about it. I had fun. Elder OC. did get me pretty good though because he jumped straight from behind me. The ball barely left my hand and then BAM! It was so funny. It was all in fun though. If I wasn't good then it wouldn't happen. Like my companion....haha. She'd get the ball and I'd let her shoot....she tries though.

Well, I hope that you all have a wonderful week!

I love you!
