October 7th - Direction in the South

October 7, 2013

So I’m sorry about last week I was running out of time so it was a little short. So it sounds like your having an awesome time and are where you need to be.

General Conference well it truly was amazing, I don’t know if I have ever learned so much, so fast. It was wonderful and I had the same thought that we were watching the same meeting. I then turned to another missionary and told him this is the closest thing you will get for 2 years to watching a movie with your girlfriend. It was a little mean I had to apologize to him which was no good, we had a good laugh! I don’t even know what to say about General Conference because it was so good. 

Before General Conference I got some real Tennessee directions, we were on splits and my companion had my GPS (o yeah I have a GPS now btw) so the directions were so funny: 

You go down the road and turn left and go through the holler then the road turns left DONT GO LEFT  then you turn right at the top of the hill BUT NOT QUITE THE TOP OF THE HILL then its on a paved road BUT NOT PAVED VERY WELL SO YOU CANT SEE IT TO WELL.... 
My thoughts were what’s a holler? 

Is the road paved or unpaved? 

Why are you telling me all the places not to go? 

I guess it’s worse even farther south in some areas the example I was given was, I guess they say turn right at the old oak tree well where the old oak tree used to be. 

Gotta love the southern directions! 

Answer some of your questions everything is ok.

We have been contacting a lot of the fare referrals and we had the car so we got a lot done this week we are back on bikes and walking whoo hoo! 

Also we are teaching a lot. 

Things improve all the time with everyone 

I guess a bunch of mail(a letter) for me has been delayed a week I should get it today whoo hoo maybe…

There is a lot to learn every day 

I love hearing you are doing good.
