"Hey what are you people doing out here!"

Hey y'all!

Wow what a week! It was a trying week there at the beginning.  Had some hard challenges in the Valdosta District. Tuesday we all went out as a district to this cool house that Sister Swank saw a couple weeks back that looked like no one had been living there in 50 years! So we got there and the Elders went up and knocked on the door and no one answered.  So we took some pictures and stuff and then all of a sudden we hear some one say "Hey what are you people doing out here!" Then this old man starts coming around the corner and I’m thinking he’s got a gun!  This is the south and this man is mad! He came out and started talking to us & told us he’s always got people up there taking pictures and he doesn’t like it but we told him that we knocked and then he was happy haha! So we talked to him for a while and then headed out!! On Wednesday I went to Tifton to exchange with Sister Deman! We had a great time and we where able to see so many people! We also where able to go to the institute class in Tifton that night and it was very interesting.  I learned a lot. On the way back to the apartment Sister Deman was driving and we hit a big dog! haha  It was crazy! He just ran into our car! And then he got up and ran away! So we got back to the apartment and there was a big crack in the front of the car so yea that is no good lol. The next day I came back to Valdosta with Sister Brain and we went back to work here! Connor is doing so great! This week he only had one cigarette! He’s working hard at the waffle house and he got his own place this week! Sunday he came to church after working all night and it was a great Sunday. After all of the meeting were over Connor had his interview with President Fussell, councilor to the mission president! We waited out side the whole time and then President Fussell came out and called President Cottle so we went in the room with Connor and the Elders and waited and President Fussell came in and told Connor how amazing he is and testified to him that he is going to be something great in the church! It was so cool! After we went home President Fussell texted us and told us that we had done a wonderful job and that he really feels that Connor is going to do big things in the church. And that he had wished he took a picture with him. It was a great to see other people see the good in him as well as us it was a great week! I love y'all and hope to talk to you soon!
