First Letter from the Mission Field!!!

Howdy y'all!!!

thats how they talk around here! they put this good ole country boy in the middle of the hood. i dont mean to
scare you but i do live in the hood. Me and my awesome companion live in the hood. there are drug
dealers and other stuff on each corner. it is quite the change! but at
least they all love the missionaries!

I have had quite the week! i will start from the start! So i got on the plane and flew to Atlanta GA when i stepped off that plane there was some massive culture shock! i am now the minority! haha thats something an Idaho boy aint used to!
so i have a three hour lay over in Atlanta and i talked to some people
there. got on another plane and flew to Kentucky and was greeted by
the mission pres his wife and the assistants. my mission president is
the man! his wife
was in the Mormon Tab Choir and she was the Assistant Conductor!

so i stayed my first night in the mission home with 20 other new
missionaries, it is the biggest transfer this mission has ever had. i
got assigned to the Y.S.A. branch in downtown Louisville.

I have been in some sketchy situations we have drunks come up to us yellin and
screamin and callin us some nasty names and gettin in our faces. but
its a good time! a drunk came up to us that got kicked off
the bus for peein his pants and wanted us to take him somewhere. just
lots of stuff like that.

i am not going to lie though i have went a whole week without mail. so tell my friends to get writin! can i get some homemade jam? i had to use store bought for
like the first time and it made me realize how spoiled i am! the
church is true! study D&C 76 and 77 it is some pretty awesome stuff! i
love y'all
