Goodbye Mendy, Hello Philly!

Okay, but just to set things straight, I actually don't really like it when people refer to Mendenhall as "Mendy" and Philadelphia as "Philly" but it just worked better for the title. So there you have it. 



Anyway!!

I live in Philadelphia, Mississippi! And I can't even count how many times I've said, "Ah! I LOVE that house!" The homes here are all kind of old Southern style, and are literally the homes the Pinterest told me would be here. It's cute! 

And I'm still in Mississippi! This state just can't seem to get rid of me!

My new companion is Sister Gunther!! She's 19, has been out for 7 months, is from Logan, Utah, and she ballroom dances! She has been here one transfer, and she and I talk a lot. She has a lot of really great ideas and insights for the area, and so I really think we're going to do some great things here together.

We didn't have a ton of teaching this week, but we've done quite a bit of finding. We did teach this guy named Correy, and his friends Trevor and Gray showed up so they sat in too. Correy asks all the right questions. He wants to know a lot about the Plan of Salvation. He literally has a notebook where he writes all of these questions, and he didn't think there were any answers to them. But then we pop up and tell him we have some of his answers, and he is pretty interested in meeting with us! So naturally I had to ask for a picture with him and his friends.

Our district is pretty cool, and so we match every week. This week was blue!

Annnnd....we may have accidentally left the mission for like an hour when we were out contacting people who wanted Bibles....Oooops! We legtimately didn't know though. Sorry, Alabama mission, didn't mean to poach your area! We've fully repented of that. 

Y'all have a blessed week! And I hope you're cooler than me. Because our apartment is steadily staying between 78-82 degrees! Gotta love the South! 

Much love from this Mississippi girl!
