That's an awesome letter! Thanks for always being willing to write me even when sometimes what I write back is garbage. This week has been a good one. I'm so happy to be here in Morgan City! It teaches me so much, I really think that I could stay here for the rest of my mission and I would be happy with that. Our little branch is little, but there is love there that isn't many other places that strong. Our branch president is my homie too. It's a neat growing experience to work so close with him all the time he is a good man and a strong leader. He's only in his 30's but he has a good head on his shoulders and he leads our branch with a lot of love and dignity. He also talks a lot of smack so we that's probably more why we get along so well haha This week, we walked a lot since Elder Stewart can't bike but there is supposed to be a car coming soon so we are very happy about that. It will help our branch a lot. We also went to a Baptist Inspiration concert with our friend Miss Gerrie. It was inspiration country music in this little church that she used to go too. It was pretty good and then all of the sudden at the end this lady came off the stage and started praying for this lady in tongues and start shaking and saying all sorts of stuff that definitely wasn't English haha It was crazy! Then things mellowed out and we had a good talk with the pastor after. He used to be a band teacher and he taught a Mormon girl that really impressed him. And accepted our offer of service to him or his congregation if they needed it. You never know how much your example really goes. We also remade "mega bedroom" this week. It makes the other elders really happy when we have both sets of bunk beds in the one room so we can have pillow talk and talk smack into the nights sometimes too. It usually ends with someone getting thrown off their mattress, their mattress and them getting thrown off, or getting someone elses thrown at them. It's a good time haha Last night I was the one that got thrown off. It really is the little things in life. Hope yall have a great week! I sure love ya! Love Elder Dye
