It's Hot but it's Not

HOWDY. I'm in Louisiana now hahaha. My area is Denham Springs so were right next to the mission office. They have lots of snacks so its pretty sweet. There's so many investigators it's kinda weird. I thought there wouldn't be like anyone because they're already in a church and stuff. There are a lot of missing teeth. Some people don't make any sense in what they're talking about. Or I just don't understand them. A lot of people like this man we met brother xxx talked for like a whole hour. Then we try to teach him and like 5 minutes into the lesson he cuts us off and starts talking about something else. He's really cool and I think after another lesson or 2 he might be baptized. Also there's already a guy on date to be baptized this month and a few other people for next month. There's a lot more that I think we could ask them and they probably will too. 

Area Map

It's been kinda hard adjusting to the weather and stuff here. Like I have to drink a ton of water because the air just sucks it out of you. So my heads been hurtin the whole time which has been kinda rough. The air feels like the lizard section at the zoo. Every time we go outside that's what I think of. There's also this really cool African American family and the dad is from Africa. But he has a really deep accent and I can't understand him half the time! So I've been trying to understand the southern accents and now we have this guy who's completely different. Today we talked to the Tyler family and they are awesome. They fed us tacos! We also went to the bishops house and had chicken Alfredo. So I haven't had legit southern cooking just yet. Except everyone has biscuits instead of rolls and they're really good. Plus this older couple fed us pork chops and "southern carrots". 

They're so good like a can of carrots and a 1/4 cup of brown sugar and then 1/3 cup of butter is what they told me. Its real good. 

Beautiful road

Cool Tree

Oh. Our apartment is right next to this riverish lake pond thing Haha. Its cool because we see geese and stuff. No gators up here though. This is more of like a suburban kind of area. Except some people live like half a mile deep in trees. It's really annoying when we go down a road and then it's just one house in the middle of the forest Haha. That's only happened once or twice though. Sweating here isn't fun though. In Utah it's just well uh normal I guess. But here it's like you're soaked. And it's only spring! I'm not too excited for the summer. Well that's about all I got. I haven't really taken any pictures so I'll send what I got. I'll talk to y'all next week. 

Elder Checketts 

Ps the youth call me elder chickens and this southern man we met calls me elder Chiclets .
