A letter from Sister White:
This week was very interesting!!  haha it feels like it was two weeks ago that I was writing you about exskranges!! cough cough I mean exchanges. I have been chilling with too many homies! Time has been flying on my mission!!! Today is my 4 month mark!! WOOO!!
14 months left!
AAAAHHHHHHHH!!! 
NO TIME!!
I think every time I reach a month mark I get a little trunky...meany I can't wait to go home! Well I am going to wait...I just pay more attention to how long I have left! I had a moment while we were planning when I realized that once November is over I will be able to say "Oh I go home in November" instead of "I go home next November" 1 year is nothing!! In 4 months I will be over the hump!!!! CRAZY!!!!! 
     I love my mission though! I am freaking out because they might take me away from Vicksburg in two weeks...I have started to take pictures of all of my investigators and the things I said I would but just haven't. Like a traffic sign that says "Church". I found out today THAT LASHAYLA AND JUYLIA MOVED BACK TO VICKSBURG!! AHHHH MY TIME HERE CAN"T BE UP YET!!!! They were the first people I EVER set with a baptismal date AND I LOVE THEM! I LOVE ALL MY INVESTIGATORS BUT I LOVE THEM EXTRA!!! 
    Another reason I love my investigators is because one of them came to church yesterday...well more than one...but Ceirra came late BUT she showed up just in time for Relief Society. I love Ceirra but she is CRAZY. When she was 17 she was 8 months pregnant and how she made a living was she preached about Jesus Christ on the streets to the people of New Jersey. She said she made 7,000 dollars a month, she was homeless at the time though...Anyway her life is nuts and her neighbors will pray over us if we see them on our way out of an appointment. Being prayed over in the South has been awesome. They can get a little blasphemous and throw out A TON of false doctrine, but they have a lot of faith and they absolutely love that two 20 year old girls spend all their time "preaching about the Lord all mighty" Did I mention that I love my mission? Because I do!
  So Ceirra walked into RS and sat next to me. One of my investigators was teaching the class!! I am a really good missionary is what I am saying. Just kidding, its all Heavenly Father and Alonda is awesome. (She is going to be an awesome member when she gets baptized in may!!!!) The lesson was about prayer, and the Spirit was so strong. Everyone was talking and bearing their testimonies and I could just see it on Ceirras face that she wanted to say something. She timidly raised he hand and Alonda called on her. It started out as a testimony of prayer but as the loving Vicksburg Relief society made kind comments and began to nod their heads Ceirra began to PREACH she bore a powerful testimony of prayer, pumping her fist in the air wearing a tank top that said "its about the money" and sweatpants. I will stand by this witness forever as an example that this is truly Christs Church and people leave the church because of neglected testimonies and not a lack of love. I wish the whole world could feel the love in that room for this wild 24 year old woman as she shouted  about how much she loves God.
       I have found that Heavenly Father give me lots of opportunities to be humble, and I am a better teacher and have more spiritual experiences as he is humbling me but sometimes I wish things would just "be okay" but then I have little moments like those where my heart is just overflowing with happiness and love and NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!! And I am to stiff necked to notice them when things "are all okay"! SO I guess I have to just accept them! 
     I am starting to hate dogs...unless it is a fluffy small dog I DO NOT TRUST THEM!! I have scars on my ankles from stinking all of these stinking Chihuahas! I like to scare small dogs just to prove my dominance. It helps me be more confident when Pit bulls run at us. I hate dogs...
I have decided that people who keep dogs chained by their doors in Vicksburg will not be receiving the keys to salvation this transfer. Yesterday we were tracting and we noticed their was a chain tied to the column by the door. So I just didn't knock on their door, I wasn't going to risk their dog getting out and murdering us!!
Okay I have some letters I gotta write!! BUT I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!
