Howdy!

            Hope you realize by now that I am not so good at writing letters because my stories and dates are all over the place.

            After 4 hours of travel today, I finally arrived in my first area in Shreveport, LA, the Brownlee Area. I spent one night in Mississippi and now get to spend 12 weeks in Louisiana! My companions are great. They have been really nice and sound so excited about what they are doing here. Oh, and yes I said companions.  I got set up with 2 sisters. Sister Johnson is from Murray, UT and Sister Cox from Fresno, CA.

            Our apartment is beautiful and I’ve already seen lots of nature (there was a caterpillar on Sister Cox’s shoulder a minute ago). The house on the SD card is the Mission Home.

            Tonight we apparently have 2 appointments and members are feeding us. And I sorta met the mission leader for our ward. …There’s so much to take in, I don’t know how Karl and Ryan got through this, but hopefully I’ll be okay. I showed a new side to everyone including myself this morning when half the mission met for transfers. Let me just say I don’t like crying for 30 minutes. I think it had something to do with feeling overwhelmed, undesired, and claustrophobic all at the same time. Your scriptures and letters really helped.

            I love you. Please Pray I’ll become a quicker writer. I have so much to say and so little time!
