July 10


 This week went by kinda slow. My new comp is from Texas and he loves Cajan food so we went over to a ward members house and they got take out from this place it was amazing. It is in New Port. It was a whole mound of food. We had crawdads shrimp clams and gumbo and gumbalia. Some of it was a little spicy for my taste but it was fun. I didnt try the clams. Sorry dad I know you love those but they smelled funny. Even all the spices couldnt kill that smell. The family that had us over took some pics so they might send them to ya. 

On the spiritual side we had a golden contact fall into our laps this month. She has wanted to be a member her whole life but didnt know how and was always to busy. She always felt good inside when she watched the churches commericals and when she say bits of the mormon tabernacle choir. She knew that someday she would be a member of that church. Cool huh.. Well we have a tenative date for her baptism already it is on the 28th. It would be awesome if it all works that fast. I always want to make sure she knows the doctrine though.

 Well I love you all
Stay Classy
