Hello, hello!
So this week has been crazy! They called Saturday at 4 and said I was leaving Sunday at 1! So we did a mad dash to get all of my things packed and then I had to say goodbye to everyone at church. Now I am staying with the Little Rock ASL sisters until tomorrow when I go to the mission home and meet my new companion, then on Wednesday we will be opening our new area!
Then the rest of the week was just full of adventures and funny times. One night Sister Kennach was praying in her sleep. I was half awake and not sure what was happening. Sister Cawley woke up and heard the prayer, and she guess I even said amen! Taking the phrase "pray always" to a whole new level!

On Wednesday we were texting Terry, and we accidentally called him. He texted back "why you call me, I deaf huh?" Haha oops. Then that night at the church we looked down and Terry was calling us. We looked down the hall and Terry was signing "hahaha." Well played Terry.
Thursday Hermana Reed and Sister Kennach went to Little Rock for a meeting, so me and Sister Cawley were with Sister Madsen. We met an awesome JW who was very nice and she showed us her paintings she does with nail polish! They look so good and you would never guess she did it with nail polish. Ripley's Believe it or Not Museums buy them from her. They prefer recognizable pieces, so she does things like the Mona Lisa and Van Goghs. So cool! Then we had signed up for a bunch of service, so we painted nails at nursing home and helped make chocolate covered bananas at a place for people with Alzheimer's. It was fun.
Sunday when I was saying goodbye to everyone at church, it really hit me how much they have all impacted my life. It is so interesting how we work to change lives, but our lives are changed as well. Service is a beautiful thing. I love the people of Southaven and all I have learned from them.
Have a great week! Next week I'll be sharing some whole new adventures from Tennessee!
Love y'all!
