The storms haven't been that bad at all here in Petal, but I think the worst of it happens at night and I sleep through everything. Our ward is going to Alabama to help clean up some of the devastation there and me and my companion wanted to go help them but its out of our mission boundaries so i don't think they will let us. I was really hoping to be able to go and help, it would have been a once in a lifetime opportunity I am sure. We are waiting for a call from our mission president to let us know it we can go or not. Transfers are today and me and Elder Eldredge are staying in Petal together so we are stoked about that and so are the members haha. I am not sure about what happened this week.... Oh we had a golden gator (Golden Investigator) find us on sunday!! She said she was raised Mormon and for some reason was never baptized she later fell away and found us on Sunday asking for a book of Mormon and if we could help her find her way back!!! I thought wow this couldn't have been easier, we were truly blessed because after baptizing Tim we were had one less person to teach but another one came to us directly after. It is amazing to see how the Lord will bless us if we do the right things. I am excited about mothers day and being able to talk to me family :) even if it has only been 3 months! I am really enjoying being down in the south being able to share the gospel full time! It makes me wonder why i was ever worried about sharing it in the first place. I mean what is there to lose? Hey friend i have a religion that can do nothing but improve the quality of your life and bring you closer to your family forever!! Now think about it who would say i don't care if they were a friend? I mean people tell me to leave all of the time but that is only because they know its my job to share this. They think i am doing it because i have to not because I have a sincere desire to share this wonderful message with them because I love them. The love you feel for people as a missionary is crazy! I love people, just in general is weird because before i didn't love people in fact people really bothered me haha! If anyone wants to share the gospel with a friend but doesn't know how feel free to ask any missionary or e-mail me about it! I know the members of this church themselves will have much more success at missionary work then the missionaries will. Seems like an odd statement? Well it is the truth!!
Well I love ya'll
