Markee's Mississippi Mission: It was a better week

When you and your companion have been together for a long time and you are both nerds and end up both having matching Jedi braids because you are awesome!!

I know most of you just barely saw me, BUT you could never get too much me! Isn't that right, family?

......

Family says yes!

Well on Monday after P-day ended and stuff we went to try a couple of people, and guess what - we saw one of them!

It was Dakota.

We didn't teach him a full lesson because it had been awhile and Sister Olsen had never met any of them so we kind of talked a bit. We shared a quick message about charity and then left.

They have been pretty busy lately with all of the marriage preparations that were happening.

Tuesday was a better day! In the morning we went to the Agape house to do some service. They had us cleaning dishes and making beds.

We got a call this morning from the director of the Agape house asking if we could have a scheduled day that we could go to the house and help the house parents out with whatever they need help with!

Afterwards we went to visit with JP, we shared to story of Alma the younger with him and talked about repentance. He thought that Alma's experience was pretty cool and we told him where he could find it in the Book of Mormon.

Next we went up to the Square and placed Book of Mormons in the book exchanges, then we went into PJs to wait for Matthew.

Matthew is the Pirate King. He is here for Teach for America but is originally from Washington. He is pretty active in his church but was so excited to talk to us because he grew up with good 'ol Mormon kids!

He was a pretty cool guy and he called us "you guys" which was awesome!

Wednesday was May the 4th! STAR WARS DAY!!

Sadly we had to give up the car to the Elders though and that wasn't fun....

We walked some more. We tried to see some people that we have been working with but they were all either not home or just leaving.

We have very bad timing....

Thursday! Revenge of the 5th!

Basically we went to lunch with Sister Nash and then tried everyone that we could possibly think of. It was a miserable day....

BUT

At least the humidity was down! It's been pretty low this week which is pretty awesome!

Brother Anthony went to the temple on Saturday!!!! I am so happy because of that!! I doesn't even matter that we didn't get to meet with anyone! As long as that happened, I am happy! Now he is wanting to talk to church headquarters about sending missionaries to Trinidad so that they can join the church too!

Oh Brother Anthony!

You little missionary you!

You guys know what happened on Sunday! It was Mother's day so I got to talk to my fam!

I must say that I was pretty surprised to see Sister Loggins there! I mean I knew that she was going out of town but I didn't know she was going into MY town!!

Yesterday was fun guys; we should do it again sometime. Maybe Christmas?!

What do you say?
