Well, I am finally here in Good ole Mississippi!! Yesterday was for sure the longest day of my life. We left the MTC before 4 AM flew from Salt Lake to Atlanta, burned a couple hours and was back on a plane from Atlanta, to Jackson, MS. Where we were greeted by some missionaries and our mish President. We went straight to dinner where i enjoyed a nice cooked meal!! I was in heaven, no more cafeteria food for this one! It made think of how great of a cook my momma is!! :) We had a little testimony meeting and a get to know you interview with the Mission President. I can not tell you how full my heart is, I am beyond grateful to be here and what a wonderful opportunity it is to serve the humble people of the south!

Dynasty is there! I am so excited to meet them!! :)
Life is going

is actually happening!!
My new companion
is Sister Stevens. Everyone is telling me she is way cool, and that we are a
perfect fit. ( she loves to go running :)))) She played rugby and is chill. And
she is shorter than I am!!!! I am hoping that they are being honest. :) I am
super excited. I just want to get there already and see what life is going to
be like.
