Hey mom! I am In Danville. The area is huge! It takes almost
an hour to get from one side to the other! And we are the only
missionaries in the area! We have a car. But not that many miles. I
taught my first lesson the day I got here! I hadn't even been to the
apartment yet when we stopped and taught a lesson! It was crazy! We
committed her to Baptism the first lesson! She is the golden
Investigator! She stopped smoking and drinking and moved out of her
boyfriends house before we even taught her that stuff! She is ready to
receive the gospel! We spend most of our time teaching! We have also
contacted and tracted though! I got my first door slammed on me! So that
was cool! And I've been to Lexington twice in a week for meetings.
Everyone here LOVES Jesus! Its kinda crazy! I have met some interesting
religious folks here! Like baptists and Pentecostals. We do service,
study a lot, and teach even more! We have quite a few investigators with dates, and they are so cool! This place is so different though. No one
is married! Tons of illegitimate children, and everyone smokes! It's
pretty out here! But not as pretty as Utah. Everything is super spread
out too! P day is Mondays obviously, and even that day we constantly
work. Still working on pictures! Later today we get to play some
basketball. Pretty excited for that. We had zone meeting this week and I
got to learn a lot there. Also got to be security guards for a Nativity Festival in Lexington. super dope! I can't really understand what anyone
is saying here! They have some thick accents! But it is getting better!
I'm excited for y'all to get some time off! I wish we had that! But it's
work, work, work. President B is a huge goof ball! He is super fun! I
wont see him much though! My area is one ward. the mileage is massive, but there are only like 40 members at church every week. Any other questions?
I love you all so much! Companion:
