New From The Suth - June 3, 2013

 Hey! 6 and a half months left, crazy! There is so much excitement going on over there! I miss swimming.... and Jared is pretty ripped... just saying... Does Ashton and Tati not have any furniture? That is pretty lame.
 Now that school is getting out soon, HOPEFULLY people will be easier to catch at home. I can't believe how hard it is for first, answer their phones, second, return our calls, and third, to actually find! We had three people disappear who we were working with, I don't know what, or how it happened. But all we can do is pray and continue on! Things continue to heat up, but we have miles again! Now we can sit in air conditioning...but work still has to be done.
 Hurricanes are on their way, and we now have to prepare emergency packs. Exciting right? :) But what's probably going to happen is that there is going to be another big hurricane that's going to hit Louisiana again, and miss us. That place is not well liked by nature...
 We have been doing well, probably one of the most frustrating things is not being able to write in my journal. When I get home, I usually have to make calls to the other companionships in our district, or to the Zone Leaders, and that takes up most of my time. But I still have high hopes, and things haven't been as stressful as they used to be. I just need to focus and make sure I'm doing all I can to help others! The father to our investigator family just received the Aaronic priesthood sunday, that was a cool experience! We also had to teach YW about the priesthood, and that was also a cool experience, a young lady came up to us with her friend and asked for a Book of Mormon, I didn't know she wasn't a member! It's funny how God puts people in our paths.
 We have had many lessons with Less-active members, who are now called "returning" in our mission. Most are nice people, just mislead.
 But that's a little of what is going on here. President Jensen had his last Zone Conference with us last week, and I made sure to take a picture with them both! They leave July 2, so one month. That is going to be a sad time, but we heard many great things about President Smith!
 Love Y'all lots and I'll talk to you next week!
