Fried Green Tomatoes

Hey Mom!

Everything is going good here. Just doing the same thing day after day. It kind of gets boring at times when no one answers their door they aren't home but that's normal. I’m sure our missionaries face the same things just not the same type. I’m so glad that I am serving in the south. I have a really special opportunity to learn the gospel and about so many other religions that not very many people get to learn. I feel so blessed that i get this chance to do it. That’s so sad about Tanner. I didn’t know him but that’s still really sad. Makes you wonder what happened. Sometimes it really is hard to feel the Holy Ghost. I have a hard time feeling his presence a lot of the time. But I know He is there at that he watches out for my family. I know that all these things happen (car issues houses breaking) but that’s just a test for us to see how we do. I know Jesus doesn’t want us to fail but I know that he places them in front of us so that we can better ourselves.

That’s really scary about the fires. The whole American continent is burning up. I pray as much as I can for water to go to Colorado. I know the state needs it but everything happens for a reason. It’s hard to realize when bad things happen but it happens because we need to learn or something needs to happen.

No we haven’t had the new mission president yet. President Satterfield leaves on the 30th and then Emeritus 70 Snow comes the 1st of July. And President Harding will most likely come the end of September or the 1st part of October so I will be lucky and see 3 mission presidents! I’ll be pretty lucky.

Everything’s been going good I’ve just been trying to learn everything and trying to focus on the task at hand. I struggled this week. I didn’t feel that I could do it. Satan was really trying me. I really felt like quitting. I felt like coming home. But I couldn’t do that. So I prayed and felt better but it’s still coming along slowly. It’s hard when I have been out for a while but it seems like I still have forever. It’s just something I have to deal with and do you know? But if you need something to pray for just that I’ll be a better teacher. That’s what i feel i need the most work on. :)

I don’t really need anything. Just snacks or whatever you want to send. Possibly more peanut m&ms. (My favorite) you could do a couple bags of those :) but whatever you want i will gladly share and eat :)  Well that’s an interesting question, what’s the weirdest thing I have eaten...Well nothing really. Mostly bbq, like real southern bbq which that wasn’t weird but I guess the weirdest was fried green tomatoes. Those weren’t too bad. But I haven’t eaten anything super odd yet.

Transfers are coming up soon and that’s kind of exciting. Maybe I’ll be transferred but who knows.
I do drive occasionally when we do exchanges and I stay in Gray but I’ve been lucky and haven’t needed a bike yet plus I’d rather walk. I can talk to more people that way. And it’s not my bike so it’s not as cool so haha.

We are still teaching Marcus and he’s doing really well. He was supposed to come to church but he wasn’t home or awake but maybe next time. I really like teaching him. He understands everything really well and makes it so I can learn to teach better and learn.

Well that’s about it mom. I miss you and love you!!! I hope everything will get better for you with the car dishwasher and all the above :) I’m praying for you every day:)

Miss you. Tell everyone I miss them :)

Love Elder Macoubrie :)
