Biloxi

Life on the coast has been good. 

I am actually really close to the beach but I can't see it because of the trees. So many trees!

Most of the ward here consist of military people and their families. We also, once I get a base pass, go to the military branch on Sundays. I can't wait for that. I haven't served in a branch yet but I know I love small wards. They feel more like a family!

We had a good week. I have met a couple families in the ward. They have been very nice to me and I know that I will come to love here. I will do a lot of growing here I can feel it. 

I have met a couple investigator but it has been a pretty slow week and people tend to not be home when they say they will be. 

The most promising investigator is Beth Caston. She, I guess, was baptized when she was 8 but the church can't find her records at all. Beth isn't gonna let that stand in her way though, she has decided to just be baptized again. They have searched and searched for her records and have found nothing. 

She has some things to work through but I know that she isn't going to let anything stop her! She is awesome and she loves the Book of Mormon and the Gospel! 

"is that the ocean?"

"THAT'S THE OCEAN!"

Me, Elder Hughes, and Sister Rose isn't paying attention....

my district literally consists of all elders. That means it's going to be fun!

Excerpt from Sister Rose's blog post this week - 

Happy Tuesday morning to everyone! It's a hot, sunny day in Biloxi, Mississippi. We are enjoying this beautiful summertime on the coast and adjusting to the changes of a new transfer. 

Who is this "we" of which I speak, you may ask? Why, none other than Sister Rose and Sister Jones! My new companion! 

Sister Jones comes from Utah. She and I are basically the same person, which makes proselyting all the more enjoyable. She has a deep love for those she serves, and she has the sweetest Spirit about her. She beams positivity and light, and she's already touching the lives of those in Biloxi.
