Week 7 - Howdy from the South!

Hey family and friends!

This week I don't remember most of it! It seems like the days just
mold together and fly by and I can't keep up with it! I do remember
going on exchanges though! I went with Hermana Fowers! She is so funny
and I actually know her grandpa! He does our taxes so that was great!
I went to Sevierville on exchange and it's a Spanish speaking area.
Luckily I didn't have to deal with Spanish until dinner! We ate at the
Enriques and they are so sweet. The parents don't speak much English
though. So my 7th grade Spanish really got put to the test. Let's just
say I failed and I should probably get my money back. I did understand
them though. I just couldn't speak to them very well. They were super
understanding though and way sweet. The South also really knows how to
cook! I am going to gain so much weight, but that's alright half hour
exercise is great in the morning!

Our ward finally has that burning desire to help us with the work!
It's great! still a lot of work to be done, but we are getting there
slowly, but surely. Testimony meeting was awesome! You know how there
are some awkward silences sometimes in the meeting. Well there was
none here! They just kept going and going and we got out of Sacrament
Meeting late! It's a good thing we have another testimony meeting in
two weeks, so I can  bare my testimony too!

Well those were pretty much the highlights of the week! Not much else
went on! I love you all and thank you so much for the love, prayers,
and support! You're the best! Remember the church is true, the book is
blue, and God loves you, and so do I!

Love,
Sister Jacob

This was our pday bbq! It was so much fun! So Sister Blau is taking
the picture with the glasses. Elder Smith is holding the Sun chips
above her. Elder Leech is next to him in the sunglasses and blue shirt
(he's a great cook, well burger flipper). Elder Goldsberry is in the
hamburger shirt and hat. Elder Jepperson is in the gray shirt. Elder
Livingston is in the yellow shirt. Elder Beard (Liam Hemsworth look
alike) is behind me. Then it is yours truly! And that is my district!
