Wet.

Well its official. I'm serving in Mississippi!!!

On Friday, President McDonough called and transferred today to Petal, MS.

Address:

107 Petal Village Dr Apt 32

Petal, MS 39465

It's a really cute little apartment, I'll get pictures out late after I unpack. I haven't seen too much of Petal, and since the church building is in Hattiesburg, I haven't determined where one ends and the other begins. There are a lot of old and kinda decrepit buildings though, which are beautiful in my book, so you can bet I'll have lots of pictures of those. It sounds like Petal is a good enough size, we cover a branch and ward so that will be weird. We're going to go see the bishop tonight so that will be fun.

I am in a tri-companionship. Sister Holbrook who has been out 7.5 months and Sister Cooper who has been trained by Sister Holbrook for the last 6 weeks. They are very sweet. I've met Sister Holbrook several times but this is my first time meeting Sister Cooper. So: new.

It has been raining buckets since we left Shreveport this morning at 7am. Not expecting that. As I sit here I am shivering from wet clothes in the ac but you gotta do what you gotta do and we didn't have much time to change and I didn't really feel like digging though overly stuffed suitcases. I was scared several times as we were driving but we were safe enough and reached our pick-up destinations then finally T-point in Clinton, MS safely then switched vans and finished our trip to Hattiesburg and Petal without much difficultly.

We've had a rainy weekend. Last Friday it was pouring a ton and there was a flood warning so, since we had no appointments, we returned to our apartment so I could begin the process of packing till the storm lightened up a little. Finally when it did we went out tracking in rain coats and dripping as we stood on porches and stoops. My rain jacket was soaked, so much that my shirt got wet! Apparently my water proofer is wearing off or something... But Sister McGrath and I had so much fun. And I don't have a cold yet so my multi-vitamins must be working.

I began saying goodbyes after that. It was hard to leave Brownlee; so much of it feels like my home. Luckily we were able to visit several members, less-actives, and an investigator or 2 so I could tell them where I was going, not to be concerned, and get a photo. I would love to serve in Brownlee again, but we'll see if the Lord has it in His plans later.

So new area, new mission life. Sorry if there are a ton of pictures, I had fun. :)

Love y'all! (Thank you, Mom, for looking that up.)

Now, emails and letters people! Thank you!

Go Lisa! Have fun in Ark-Kansas! Send me your address!

-Sister Stewart no. 1 (as of today we now have 2 Sister Stewart's!)

Before...

 ...After.

Sweet Frog (frozen yogurt) with the Bossier Elders. 

 Made lots of planner covers last week :)

 Sister McGrath now gets to drive with me leaving.

 We went out, decided it was pouring too hard and come home. We were drenched just running to and from the car.

 Goodbyes: the Pearcy's (with Elder Capron)
