Markee's Mississippi Mission: Catfish, rain for days, service, and much more!

And thus ended the thirteenth week of the reign of Markee in the south.

Mabel and Wallace found out that Sister Conder had never tried catfish and that I only had a bite, so they decided that they would take it upon themselves to fry us up some catfish.

They are so sweet! They went all out for this occasion. They set up a little table with a tablecloth and everything. They had a salad and fries as well as the catfish. It was so sweet.

And catfish isn't that bad. Especially down here where they have catfish farms and feed them better things than trash.

That day was when the heavens opened up and rain poured out of the clouds for days!

It really poured for 5 days! It doesn't help that the ground is so full of clay so all the water just kind of chills for awhile until it...I don't really know what happens to it. I am sure you heard all about the flooding. El Dorado didn't get much flooding but there was just enough to keep us from doing anything. We also didn't have the car that week and we didn't want to get soaked.

We started a Book of Mormon class and that has been going pretty well. A lot of people we tract into always ask about Bible study classes so we made a BoM study class. We have had an investigator coming to that.

His name is Jessie Baker. We found him through and request for a free bible and then we taught him once. We didn't see him for awhile but I guess he saw the Elders riding their bikes once and he waved them over so now the Elders are teaching him. He is a pretty cool guy. He is so sincere and he really has a desire to change.

We found a good place for service while it was raining. It is called the Agape house. It is basically a house where foster kids stay in between foster families. We have been there a couple times, the first time we cleaned the house that they live in there, and the second day we went to their warehouse and sorted clothes.

Little kid clothes are the cutest!

Mom would pretty much die in that warehouse!

We saw a frog outside of our apartment and Sister Conder tried to catch it. We also saw some turtles in a little pond. Those were the pictures from last week.

Last Monday it had stopped the downpour, and we played Monopoly with the Elders. Elder Blair wanted to play so we played. I didn't know how to play and Elder Bingham didn't want to play so he helped me. I won!

Probably because I had Elder Bingham's help but oh well I won and that is all that matters.

On Tuesday I mowed lawns all morning! It was SO MUCH FUN! Get ready North Ranch because when I get home I want to mow all the lawns! Mowing lawns is so fun!

We went to lunch with Sister Smith and her friend Sister Platt. Sister Platt is from New Boston and so Sister Conder was super excited because she knows here. They both are super awesome and I love them!

Billboards in front of churches here are SO FUNNY!

My favorite right now is; "Silly rabbit, Easter is about Jesus!"

I laughed harder than I should have....

We are getting super close to Conference! Have you all thought up some questions yet?

You should if you haven't already.

I love you all! (I don't say ya'll)

P.s I didn't take a lot of pictures this week. Sorry about that, I will do better this week though!
