Whew!

**From an email sent on June 1**

Ugh. I was sick last night. No bueno. I hate being sick, especially as a missionary. Maybe it was cuz of the heat. We tracted in the heat for two hours. Ugh. It's so humid down here. I feel like i'm trying to breathe water.

Well, first big news was that Sam did not get baptized. She found out she was baptist....apparently hasn't been to church in a while. But her family was freaking out at her. And her mom pretty much yelled at us and told us to leave and not come back. So that's the end of that. She still loves the Book of Mormon so I hope she comes back someday.

We tracted into a really nice man named Terry. He is so great. At our first sit down appointment, he told us that he'd had a dream that God told him that he needs to go back to church and get baptized. So his date is set for June 19th. He came to church on Sunday and loved it. He came in this cobalt blue and black pinstriped suit. It was so great.

Also, we were in Eatonton (a town about 20 minutes away where Uncle Remus wrote about Brer Rabbit) and we walked up to this guy who was on his bike and started talking to him and he also accepted baptism for the 19th. He was totally transfixed about prophets and stuff. LOVE IT!!!

The elders are so great. They are really kicking trash in this area. They told us that they were trying to catch up to the sisters...lol. :) But they had a baptism on Saturday. A woman named Charmain and her daughter La'naya. So great. It was so cute. I asked La'naya how she felt after the baptism and she said she felt great! She is sooooo cute. I love little kids here. I had to speak at this baptism. The spirit was totally directing me. It was so great.

Jessica has dropped off the face of the earth. We have no idea where she is. And Jerri and Latonya have disappeared too. *sigh* No bueno.
