Sweet Home Alabama!

Hey Y'all! 

I hope yall have had a wonderful week!  Things her are just great!  I can't believe that i am now serving in Dothan! Its such a wonderful place.  Everyone here is just so gung ho on missionary work.  I am serving in the Dothan 1st ward with Sister Rindlisbacher.  She is from Rexburg Idaho, and has been out 1 transfer longer than me.  So we are both pretty much on the down hill slope.  All is well though. 

This week has been crazy though. Buckle up, its going to be a crazy ride!  

MONDAY was insane, somehow, i fit all of my stuff in my three suitcases.  That was seriously a miracle.  But i got it all packed up and everything fit!!!  We had an awesome dinner with some members at the church for FHE.  It was so fun. Sad too, because it was my last time with them in Bonifay.  

TUESDAY was great.  I attended my last district meeting in Bonifay.  The Zone leaders came and we had a grand ole time.  We went out to lunch as a district to the best mexican place ever!!  Good times. Then we said some goodbyes to some of my favorite people!  That was sad.  Sister Richins and i had to drive to the Greenhead sister's house so that sister richins and sister stradinger could drive to tallahassee since they are both training new missionaries.  So i spent the night in greenhead with sister evans.  we had to clean the house and get all of her stuff packed up, because they are closing that area for sisters.  so that was an adventure.  

WEDNESDAY was just great. We woke up and headed to transfer spots so that sister evans could get to her next destination in Jay.  So i was in a trio for about 5 hours with sister lehman and sister dyer.  I got to see sister owens after like nine months!!! It was the greatest thing ever!  She is doing well! she only has two transfers left, which means i have four... YIKES!  Well awkward moment... so i met up with my new companion, Sister Rindlisbacher, and we transferred all of my stuff from one car to the other.  Well someone put sister dyer's backpack in the car with my stuff.  and what is super awkward about that is that she was going home the next day.  this back pack had her wallet, so that was super important for her to have.  So we had to make the treck back to transfer spots, which made three times for me that day.  So that was just awkward.  but we got everything figured out, so its all good.  

THURSDAY was good.  we weekly planned, and of course, being new to the area, i had no idea who any of these people were.  But i will get the hang of things quickly. 

The rest of the week is pretty much a blur.. Sorry, i will be better next week with the daily activities :)  We had some good dinners with members.  So all is well here in the great land of Dothan!

 So we have six sets of sisters in the Dothan Zone.  Some are in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida.  So when we go on exchanges with them i might get to go to Georgia!!! :) It is going to be one busy transfer!  Thank goodness!  Seven week transfers just might be the death of me.  But its gonna fly by.  Our new mission President arrives today.  That is going to be interesting to see how things will change.  I get to meet him next week at a zone conference, and a misison leadership conference.  So its going to be great!  

I dont have any super awesome stories, so this is kind of a lame email.... sorry.  But just know that the church is true.  Heavenly father and Jesus Christ live.  They love us all! and they have plans for all of us!  

Yall have a blessed week!!!
