Okay so I'm in oak grove now and it's actually super
awesome. The ward has been really nice and welcoming. Theres quite a bit of
work to be done here but everyone has been awesome. My new companion Elder
Snarr has been super cool. We have a lot of things that we relate with so it
has been easy getting along with him hahah. Its been a long time so I'm just
gonna kinda quick summarize everything.

So transfers happened and it was awesome to be able to see a
bunch of missionaries from the mtc that I haven't for a while. We talked and it
was super cool. I met elder snarr and loaded my stuff into the car. It was a
long car ride about 2 and a half hours to get to oak grove. We met with the
district and had lunch with each other. It was kind of awkward cuz I didn't
know anyone yet. Except turns out sister Allen from the mtc is in my district
hahaha. Pretty lit. But yeah. The new apartment is waaaaay nicer than the last
one. We actually have more than 1 bathroom and it is indeed a blessing. We
didn't have anything to eat really Haha. We made do with ramen and oatmeal most
if the time. I made some pasta and threw some stuff in it. Turned out pretty
good. So that was cool Haha. We exercise in the mornings and take protein. Soon
I'll be humongous....in the muscular way. Cuz I'm already 20 pounds heavier than
before. And that ain't muscle lemme tell ya. But soon it will be. We had
district council on Friday. It was pretty fun actually. As I've gotten to know
everyone more I've been more comfortable being myself and it's been fun. We
went to a hibachi place after and had some good ol food stuff. They had a sauce
called "yum yum sauce". It was pretty yummy. We later went out to a
hole in the wall restaurant that's basically just a house Haha. It was super
good. They have all kinds of BBQ stuff.

So Saturday now. We went biking a whole bunch and golly.
Mississippi actually has hills. Louisiana is flat as can be but man these
hills. They'll get ya. It feels like I biking twice as far because it's up now.
But uhh we went to church Sunday and that was cool as usual. We went to the 2nd
councilors house for lunch after and he is awesome. All the members here are
funny and cool Haha. So it's been sweet to meet them. We have a super cool
investigator named miss whitney. Also something I should mention is that like 90%
of the people we are teaching are black which is sick. So whenever I talk about
someone it's probably a black person. How cool is that? Anyways. She is
actually on the verge of baptism. Soooo close. We just need to meet her a
little bit more and she could totally be put on date. So that's super
sweet.
Monday we met a girl named Jaslyn who they have taught
before. She was super nice Haha. She said that if I'm cool enough I can earn a
'black card' which is a card that i can show people in the hood and then they
won't mess with me. So that's super sweet. We later met with the Esplins and
had dinner with them. The dad went to Jamaica on his mission so we were reading
from the jamaican new testament and it's super funny. You have to read out loud
or it doesnt make any sense haha. We also taught a girl who is on date with the
sisters which was pretty neat. So yeah.

We apparently go to the dog shelter every Tuesday and walk
dogs. It was super cool but some dogs are wild. Like I had to run cuz they just
kept going it was wild. Later we met the careys and they are super cool. Like a
super artistic fam. The dad does graphic design and has a ton of cool stuff all
around the house. I'm low key thinking about doing that now. I took graphic
design in high school and it was really fun. So maybe who knows. We talked
about captain Moroni and zarahemnah with them. Captain Moroni is just a
straight up legend. Make sure yall read about him.
Yesterday we had district council a d then went to a
restaurant called "dis and dem". They make burgers and hot dogs and
they are super good. We got to see Jaslyn again and taught about the plan of
salvation and she was pretty much in tears but she had to go so it was good but
we needed more time.
And uhh today was finally p day. I've waited so long. Jk.
But we needed groceries super bad hahah. So now were alright. Umm. We went
shopping with the Spanish elders and then went to hardeez. Or Carl's jr. Those
guys are super funny though. We quote batman and other movies a lot Haha. Pretty
fun. We went to the church and played some board games and called home and
stuff. After that we went to members and ate. We talked about the title of
liberty with Captain Moroni for the 4th of July. I'm telling ya captain Moroni
is super sick. But yeah.
So Mississippi has been super awesome. Not as humid but
still really hot hahaha. It rains a ton but it's not super heavy and slimy like
Louisiana. So it's nice Haha. But uhh yeah. Life is good. I'll talk again on
Monday so. The next episode of Elder Checketts is coming soon. See yall
later
