Sorry I have not written for two weeks. Due to our visit to Graceland last monday I did not have time to e-mail. So here goes. Man these last two weeks have been busy. We are getting our teaching pool up and were able to visit a lot of people. Things are going great. I really love this area, my companion, my district. I am just doing great.
Graceland was good. It was the beginning of Elvis week. Today is the anniversary of his death. We went at the beginning of it so it was not too crowded. There were a lot of people dressed up like him though. Elvis was an interesting man. It was nice to go back again. Brought back memories and it is always fun to hang out with the Elders. They are pretty funny/weird. I am so glad the summer is winding down. I have never been so hot and sweaty in my entire life!!!!! Summer lasts a long time here but I just want to got over this crazy heat. It is no fun to be tracting in 107 degree heat with the heat index at 120 degrees. Yeah not fun at all. I got heat exhaustion the other day. I have to drink SO much water not to get sick. And we don't go back to our apartment during the day. It is on one side of the area and we mostly work on the other. We do not have the miles to go back. So we take a lunch and just do the best that we can.
This week has been the beginning of leadership training meeting in the mission. I don't have to go because well I am not an Elder and cannot be a leader but I also am not training. Neither is Sister Pabst. I am not a greenie and neither is she so we did not have to go but Elder Robinson (here in Southaven) and Elder Low (in Sanetobia, just below us, he is our DL) had to go. They all stayed in the Elders apartment and the two went up to Memphis for the day Friday and Saturday. Well they forgot to leave the keys to the car they left so Elder Summers (the other Elder here in Southaven) and Elder Andersen (the other Elder in Sanetobia) could drive around and still see people. So they called us and we got the pleasure of driving them up to Frayser (North GHETTO Memphis) to go get the keys from them at the meeting. Well the GPS was in the locked car and we don't have one. So we got to map it and the south. I don't know. It was interesting. Oh well. We had so much fun! Then stopped and got lunch. Anywho. Another day in the life of Sister Broadhead.
Oh district meeting was super fun this week. That is a little sarcastic but it was funny too so that is all right. Elder Low brought "The Box of Mystery". He basically went and bought a bunch of props. We did roll plays. One missionary would go into the hall and we would decide what the situation would be and we had to roll play contacting. Well I suck at roll playing but it was super funny in the other ones. The first one was Elder Robinson who dressed up like an old woman. Well you see. He can do a spot on impression of Mrs. Doubtfire. I was DYING is was laughing so hard. He is totally in character and he even looks like robin williams a little. Oh my gosh. I was in pain I laughed so hard. We went over for how long the meeting us supposed to be but that is all right. We had a quick lunch. It was worth it. The last one they pretty much were goofing off. Pretending to be old men that actually live in Monticello (kind of by Camden). I never met the men but I heard all about them from Elder Andersen and Elder Robinson served over there too. I never met them but I knew lots of people like them in Camden. It was really funny.
Oh man sometimes missionary work is so awkward. And I have no idea what to do. I am not very good with awkardness but better than Sister Pabst. We went and saw this less active lady. She is pretty interesting. Well anyway. She went on a rant about how she would rather go to hell than give up her two cups of coffee a day and using excuses to justify her drinking wine. I HATE when people use Christ as an excuse. It's like really people. What do you think he would say about that. Expecially since he is the one that gave us the Word of Wisedom and you know it. Anyway. I felt like telling her that. But of course I did not. And then there was the most awkward silence I have ever experienced in my entire life. It is really funny looking back at it now. And Sister Pabst says it is a lot less awkard with me than Sister Eckardt. Sister Pabst was so frustrated and Sister Oravis was like is something wrong. And Sister Pabst started crying. Sister Oravis did not realize it was because she was frustrated with her. We were so tired. She felt really dumb afterwards. And you know how I get when people cry. It just made it all worse. Oh good times.
Anywho. I can't think of anything else really to talk about so I will end it for this week.
LOVE FROM THE SOUTH
SISTER BROADHEAD
