We somehow got talking about Pentecostals, probably due to the high number that we encounter down here. Sister Thompson got quiet for a minute, deep in thought, and then snaps her head up and looks me deep in the eyes and says, "OH MY GOODNESS! Rapunzel is Pentecostal!! She never cuts her hair, has no makeup on, and doesn't wear jewelry"
Then we came to conclusion that Mother Gothel is the Pentecostal one that makes Rapunzel also Pentecostal. That is why Mother Gothel is so angry when Rapunzel cuts her hair!
Don't worry, we already figured it out for y'all! I will keep you updated on other deep discoveries we make. 
Bike week is a struggle folks. Picture this, you go to bed exhausted and worn down. Then you wake up feeling... exactly the same way. Then you get to do it all over again!! So much fun! Y'all should serve missions so you can experience this wonderful feeling! It is truly to die for. 
My willpower is noticeably increasing each day as we have to make the decision to get on that dreaded machine.
Put simply by my wonderful companion, "My body already wants to punch someone in the face."
But on the plus side, my quads are like rock solid. 
They didn't have a "rocking quads" emojii, so the arm will have to serve the purpose. I guess my biceps are decent now too. I don't know.
The weather is FINALLY cooling down. It is now just hot and humid instead of really hot and humid! So, plus! 
(that's me being delirious about sweating a little less)
With the cooler weather has also come later sunrises. Don't ask me how I feel about it..
Okay I'll tell you anyway! Goodness!
This late sunrise thing makes the whole getting up 6:30am that much less desirable. Darkness enshrouds you still as your alarm blares to tell you so very rudely it is time to get up. Then you move and feel how tired you are and try and decide how badly you ACTUALLY need to get up.
As you roll out of bed with ninja like skills grab Rafiki to use as a support to lean on, and land on your knees to pray while trying your hardest to stay awake.
Then you pull yourself up and head to the bathroom to brush your teeth and try and splash your face with water to wake you up so your tired body can go work out.
Then you fake smiles in the mirror trying to convince yourself you are happy to be up. Usually fails. Go to work out anyway. Then carry on your day trying to conceal your yawns as you knock on doors and teach the rare soul.
Carry on until 9. Plan another day full of so much fun. Brush teeth. Pass out mid conversation with your companion about something deep and exciting. Whoops. It really was exciting. I was mid sentence about civil rights and then woke up to the sound of my alarm. 
What else has happened this week... Hmmm...
OH! I got an adorable stuffed animal pillow to cuddle. Sister Thompson has an adorable bear named "Kuma" and I was jealous of her cuteness and ability to cuddle him and use him as a pillow while watching movies. So we went to Target last Monday and tried to find me something like it. This is what I found!
Everyone, meet Rafiki!
Rafiki^ & Kuma^
Aren't they adorable!?!
Also, we have the same skirt. Please contain your jealousy at our adorable matchingness.
Really. Stop. I can feel it all the way in Mississippi. It's too much.
Maybe one day you will obtain SL&ST status. Maybe. But don't hold your breath.
More pictures to induce jealousy to follow.
Whelp! Love you folks. Hope all is well in _______ (insert place of residence here)!
As always, I enjoy and appreciate your emails! So good to hear from home!
KISSES!!
