In every condition, in sickness and health...

Tennessee is about 15 miles from Athens

So this week, one of our missionaries got sick, so we exchanged and I stayed with her all day yesterday while our companions went to Church and did enough missionary work for 2 companionships :) It was really cool, because I got to read general conference talks and the Book of Mormon. (but also not cool, because the sister had the stomach flu) Do you know how much I love the Book of Mormon????? It is so amazing. I love being able to dedicate all my focus to reading it. I never want to go a day in my life without reading from it's pages.

I miss playing the clarinet.

We got invited over to a members' for dinner. That was GOOD. They had all sorts of classic american food. We then went into their basement (1st basement I've seen in Alabama!!) and played ping pong. They let us play some clarinets for a bit, and I loved being able to play again!! I really miss it :) Then we drove in their Mini-van and found a spot to watch fireworks for about 20 minutes :) on the way back, all of us sang 'America the Beautiful' a cappella. It was so much fun :)   

On Saturday we helped a lady clean her walls... she is currently living in a friends house that was uninhabited for 4 years. The walls that we cleaned were a part of the room that was the 'smoke room'. So they were FILTHY. D: All 4 of us worked for an hour and they still look soooo dirty. She fed us real Chicago-style hot dogs and I found out I don't like Chicago-style hot dogs :) She's a really nice lady, and we were happy to serve her :)

I love Athens!! I'm so grateful to be in this area!!

I love you all!!
