Tuesday, I wasn't feeling the best so we ran to a members to get a Priesthood blessing. (If you aren't feeling well, then use your worthy Priesthood holders and get one!) The elders were at a member's home chopping wood, so we went there. We have good members and the elders are very cooperative. By Wednesday I was feeling much better. Now I have a sore throat. Dang you cold weather!
No District meeting because of specialized training for certain missionaries. Boo.
Wednesday night the Sister Training Leaders joined our humble trailer-hold and we had exchanges on Thursday. Sister Totterer went with Sister McGrath and Sister Cox joined Sister Tebbs and me. Unfortunately she was feeling really sick so she slept through the morning and we went out in the evening. It was a good day full of joy and understanding. I love Sister Cox, I was so happy to see her again. We went to Los Lobos (local Mexican restaurant) and had dinner. I think we may have confused our community a little with all the extra missionaries, but now they just have another reason to talk to us.
We did finally got to see our investigator and best friend Deena again. We'd lost contact with her for 3 weeks then when we stopped by Friday night she opened the door and shooed us to the car saying "Look! Look! Look! I got to go get pizza for the boys. Get in the car." So we got in the car! (We realized in the car, however, that she was taking us outside our area to get pizza so we texted the district leader for quick permission.) It was so good to visit with her again, we had all been having withdrawals. Hopefully we'll see her again soon this week.
Sunday was a great day. Church was refreshing (the first time in a while), there was awesome discussion in Relief Society and our Sunday School students told us they love the class, that's why they keep attending ours even though they could be in the other one. We didn't have any investigators make it but quite a few less actives came which was great! A mother and her daughter and grand-daughter came, they had to look up the church address and time and were a little late but it was great! Its been over a decade since they last came to church! Afterwards we tracted (which wasn't too great because I got car sick driving through the crazy country roads), met with less actives, and even though some people couldn't let us in their homes just then, we made good contact.
Things are looking up in Wesson--granted there's a little more going on in the country then town--but I'll take it!
Happy Martin Luther King Day everyone! We're in Llyod Star, partying it up with our fellow missionaries. Volley ball, frisbee and fun!
Love y'all. Transfers next week!

Love, Lara
Mississippi!
After the STLs left we found little notes everywhere!
Friendly kitty, gave me a snuggle when I told him I had to go.
Sister Tebbs played a joke and hid from Sister Totterer, stuffing herself under her desk.
