| Hey everybody! happy 4th of july! what are everyone's plans??! tonight my district is going to a members house where a bunch of the ward will be for some bbq and games!
this week has been great! i am so grateful to be our here on a mission, there is seriously nothing else i would rather be doing than spreading the truthfulness of this gospel :)
the weather is so crazy, it is so hot and humid but also there are tons of rainstorms which i love! sister Jackson and i rode our bikes over to an investigator's home on Wednesday and it was perfectly sunny outside. after being there for 45 minutes, we look out & it is completely down pouring! but we needed to get to another apt so we headed out and rode in the rain for like an hour. it was nuts! everyone who drove by looked at us like we were crazy. but it was honestly so much fun. but i was going down the hill a little too fast and then had to make a turn and totally fell off my bike...yeah it was bad...but kinda funny and i didnt get hurt too bad at all :) my comp and i couldn't stop cracking up haha
This past Tuesday, we drove down to Mobile. it is such a cool town! everything about it screams Mardi Gras which i love! and there are churches on every corner, and they're all so beautiful!
We have been focusing a ton on finding this week, and now have about 8 new investigators to teach for this upcoming week which i am so excited about! i love the people here so much! the south is slowly starting to feel more like home.
on Saturday, we had a zone conference! we got to meet our new mission president and his wife, The Smiths :) they are so kind and genuine! Pres Smith talked about the OWL principle out here on a mission (Obey, Work and Love) you gotta have all 3, then youre set!
Saturday evening, we had a bonfire with a recently converted couple and also 2 investigators. it was still 96 degrees at 8 pm and we were dying of heat with that fire! it was hilarious.
I feel so blessed to be out here and meet new people everyday. so many people out here genuinely love God and it is so amazing! i have been able to learn so much through the people we teach :)
well, i miss and love you all so much! thank you all for the kind emails and letters this week! have a great rest of your 4th of july!!
Love,
Sister Fletcher
