Hey Y'all!
Guess what!?!?! I am a normal missionary now! I have been transferred to Bonifay Florida. A nice little town in the panhandle of Florida. I have P-Days on Monday and am in a family ward. Weird stuff.
Anyway last Saturday Dusty got baptized! Super cool way to go out. I got to talk at his baptism and his parents aren't too fond of Mormons but when I was talking his father relaxed a ton and you could just see him get more comfortable with the whole situation even if he didn't fully endorse it. Then that night we did some family history work with.... (drum roll please).... Quantangela! How cool of a name is that!??!?!?
Then Monday we had dinner over at Dusty's house with his mother. She is a super sweet hard core southerner. Tuesday nothing special happened and then Wednesday was transfers. Got called to Bonifay with Elder Olson and Elder Whitney. Yes another tripanionship. I guess I am not a totally normal missionary yet. I did manage to survive 6 months here in the mission field. Shout out to myself (and my family for all of their support). I did get reunited with a former roommate in Elder Farris! I love that kid so much! Hilarious guy. Thursday we cleaned up the area book because some people are unable to keep up the area book apparently.
So we did that and Friday we went to visit a less active that is in jail. Just like in the movies. We had a pane of glass between us and a telephone on each side to talk to each other. Cool stuff. Then saturday we did a lot of service for a less active. Cutting bamboo and burning it in the middle of the day. Giant fire and a broken toilet on the lawn. Yep I work with rednecks! boo ya! Sunday we got to visit an investigator who is going through Chemo for cancer and he and his family are the best! I love them so much! He only has 4 treatments left so he should be done in a few months. So yeah...That explains a lot of my past week. Hope Y'all have a great week!

Hey Elder Funk, welcome to the jungle. I went through the same ordeal on the east side of the state. We did some hospital visits, then the jail, and then a homeless shelter. I don't care what anyone says, you ain't living until you can help those people who will never have the chance to return the favor to you. Felling blessed!
