Blackout

So I forgot my little booklet that I write down the day’s activities in so this probably won't be a very long letter.

Not much going on this week. We took a road trip to Jackson on Friday morning to talk to President McDonough and spent time with Sister McDonough visiting and singing at their baby grand. We stopped by the mission office in Brandon to have our car checked by Elder Edwards (he's over the cars in the mission), get a new phone (we'd been having spam calls), and go shopping for more supplies! And then I got to go out to lunch with Sister Johnson and Sister Cox. They are serving together again as Sister Training Leaders over the Jackson and Laurel areas. It was so nice to be with them again, it felt like I'd gone back in time. It was a long trip, we got home about 6pm, just enough time for our studies and dinner.

We had district meeting in Collins, MS, a road trip of about 45 minutes. The elders out there don't usually have many miles to get into Hattiesburg every week so we try to trade off for them. It's funny when we cram ourselves into the car with the Petal elders because somehow Sister Holbrook, Sister Cooper, and I get really silly and just talk and babble about this and that, sometimes getting the elders to respond but most often not, until about half way through the trip and we all fall silent.

Sitting in the Hattiesburg Library, I see a lot of missionaries at the computers, and yet I rarely see missionaries throughout the week.

...The power just went out in the whole building for a blink of a second, that was fun. Luckily it only took a few minutes for the computers to reset and the internet to come back. I'm watching Mormon Channel videos. I love looking at this webpage and watch all the things on it. My favorite Mormon Message is "Earthy Father, Heavenly Father." Check it out:
Send some questions, I don't know what else to say.

Thank you, Mom, for the package, the half-tee worked perfect.

Thank you for the letters and pictures, I love seeing everyone.

Sister Holbrook often says something funny: "The Book of Mormon is blue, the Gospel is true, The Lord loves you, and I do too!"

 We carpool with the elders to Collins for district meeting. Three crammed and sleepy sister in the back (Sister Holbrook makes a good pillow).
 Driving to Jackson at 8am, it was a little foggy.
Played the scribble game with myself on my table, don't worry it erases. 
 Give me a hug :)
A member gave me a puzzle, I was working on it this morning after studies. 500 pieces!
