So. First off... we didn't move. The apartment for the other sisters didn't work out so we are still here at 912 Hunter Xing.
Now back to my letter, I am so excited! This past Friday part 1 of my "trunky papers" arrived. It was the information for bike sale, airplane protocols, and a nice note from Sister Edwards, the travel secretary letting me know how much they love serving with us missionaries.
Part 2 is set to arrive sometime this week. That one is going to make me REAL trunky. It has my travel itinerary and all my departure information in it. Yep. It's like they WANT us to get super trunky and ready to go home! 
I have exciting news! So remember that model girl I talked about a couple months ago. We taught her and her 49,000 followers the Plan of Salvation while she live streamed her life. Yep so one of the guys that "beamed in" (basically got to be front and center during part of the call and ask us questions) is getting BAPTIZED!!! He was very respectful during the call and told us how much he respected us and thought we had a lot of really good points. He lives in North Carolina and is working with missionaries there to get baptized because he truly felt something while we talked!!!!! Y'all!!! I am so excited for him!! Meisha said she has been talking to him about it and he seems really excited and was very grateful that he was there to hear us talk about the Plan! God works in mysterious ways! Who knew that a live stream with 49,000 people would lead to a child of God making life changing covenants!? So exciting!!!
This week has been full of sweating and wanting to die. It is so hot and humid here folks! Like really hot and humid! The poor people that have to open their doors to see our sorry faces!
Good thing we both have sweat rags to wipe our sorry faces off with before they answer... but it only lasts for so long before the humidity stick right back to ya and you are dripping again! Hahah. Life of a Southern Missionary I suppose.
We tried some of our inspired tracting streets this week. Something always happens that makes you think "Maybe that is why we felt inspired to come here." Like this experience for example.
We drive to Lars Rd to tract. Dead end street with only 5-6 houses on it. As we turn onto it, there is a little mud field with some horses in it. After we drive down a bit and park, I look at Sister Spencer and say "We have to go back there! There were babies!!" So we walked back. And found the sorriest horses I have ever seen. They were skin and bones, both moms and babies. Poor things had no food, no water, and were very sad looking! We debated on what to do, and finally decided to ask one of our trusty members for the animal control number. Turns out animal control is not open on Saturday. We took some pictures and went on our way to knock on doors. And then we found a sorry starving puppy in the front yard of the first house. Poor thing was chained up and was stuck in its kennel because the chain had gotten caught on a break in the kennel. It couldn't go more than a foot in a circle. Problem is, its food was in the shade about 3 feet away. The food, moldy kidney beans and some dirty water. Poor thing. We will also be calling on that too. I don't know whether that was why I felt so strongly we needed to go to Lars road, but no one we talked to was very interested, so it seems to me that it was.
We also passed out flyers for the "Meet the Mormons" movie night we are planning for July 8th. It is interesting how nice people are when you offer them an invite to come watch a movie and eat food. Only one slammed door. And that was before we even got to tell her about the awesome night we had planned and were there to invite her to.
I think I like tracting like that much better! Less hard rejection!
We have exchanges today and tomorrow with the STLs. My last exchange!
Then Zone Conference next monday. So I will email y'all on Tuesday. Don't worry when you don't hear from me on Monday, I'm still alive...probably.
I will be bearing my final testimony for all the missionaries in the Shreveport Zone to hear. Lots of wisdom will be imparted! Hopefully someone can take the advice I have to give and make their mission somewhere close to how awesome mine has been!
Love y'all!!
