I made it to Louisiana a little
less than a week ago. I love it here! The heat is not nice but I can get
more used to that. The people here are so nice!
My
training Elder is Elder Bean. He is a really cool guy. He is really
into sports but cant play them much right now because of a concussion.
He knows Spanish really well.
So my first
area is called Opelousas. It is more of a country area and there really
arent many spanish speakers here. My comp and I are the first Spanish
missionaries in this area for two years. We are reopening this area for
Spanish teaching. It is hard because we have nothing to start with but
it will be good.
The people here are really
nice. We have 6 missionaries in a ward of 70 people and they want to
feed all of us all the time. The food here is really good. I have had
Gumbo 3 times since I have been here! Everyone is open to talk with us
even if they aren't wanting to hear our message.
I have been asked two times so far if I am a Jehovah's Witness.
My
apartment has two other elders in it. They are Elder Hunter and Elder
Otterstrum. We go out with them a lot because they know many people
here. They are really cool English elders.
Well that is all that I have for now.
