An eventful week

Wow, this week was crazy eventful. So let me start off by telling you about the man who was baptized last Saturday. His heart stopped and he has been unconscious since the day after he was baptized. So he was not able to receive the holy ghost or receive a priesthood blessing. His mom will not allow any visitors from our church, which sucks. So we have been praying like crazy for him.

Then I went on exchanges to South Jackson and we did service for 4 hours haha. It was so funny, my pants ripped pretty bad and I continued to work though it. I thought it was so funny that my joggers ripped. I thought they were stretchy but I guess I have out grown them.

Then later on in the week we were able to go do service at this food network. We made food boxes with female inmates. I think it is so funny that they would give them box cutters. But they were all cool. I think it was so fun to work with them. I even asked one what she did, and she just took the rap for her cousin, so she didn't even do anything. I was like wow what a homie. That is a true friend.

On Saturday we went up to Canton which is the poorer part of our area. We have had so many people request bibles that the church gives out for free. I have asked a few how they found the website and all they do is search free bible on google. But we were able to contact a few of them, and teach them.

We didn't have P-day on Monday because of MLK day, so it was just a regular day. We taught a few people but at the end of the night, we tried this lady Elder Neilsen, my last companion, met. When I first met her, she was going through a hard time, she had just left her boyfriend with her 4 kids, moved in with her parents and was just heart broken. We realized that God had sent us to her in that time to help comfort her. So it has been a while since we have seen her, but she was outside last night. We talked with her. She got a new job that pays a lot better and is easier work, and she has been reading the Book of Mormon and has been feeling peace and comfort as she has read it. I was honestly so happy to see this change in her life.

I finally have found a cotton field down here in Mississippi and I took some pictures in it. :) One of the pictures shows how happy I was.
