You know you're in trouble when it's been a long day and it isn't even 9 yet....

**From an email sent June 7**

Yes. It is true. It was such a long day yesterday and it wasn't even 9 o'clock yet. Sister Child and I played "transfer chess". We believe that I am going to Ridgeland, South Carolina. But I think I might go to Rincon, Georgia....which is down by Savannah. Wherever it is, it'll be really hot! It has been so incredibly hot down here. I'm melting. It's only like 80 degrees, but with 300% humidity....ugh.

So.....We met an amazing guy! His name is Christopher and he was raised Catholic but has stopped going to church cuz he says he doesn't need to go to church to get to Heaven, so he just prays and reads his bible. We talked to him about the Book of Mormon and a prophet and he kept saying "wow!" It was so great! He also told us that God saved his life. Cuz, he was in a really bad car accident when he was 16. He'd just barely gotten his license and he wrecked his car. He was in the hospital and the doctors told him he had a hole in his liver and that they might have to do surgery. But the doctor decided it was best to wait till the next day. The next day, when they did the ultrasound of his liver, the hole was almost completely healed and he didn't need surgery. Isn't that amazing?

And we also found a family!!! JJ and Regina and their 9 year old daughter, China! And they also have two sons. Age six and four. They are so great!

And, we went to go and drop off a Together Forever DVD with an investigator, cuz her dad died, and some of her friends pulled into the driveway. One of them got out and started talking to Sister Child and I was down by the car. Sister Child started talking about what the movie was about and I heard the woman still in the car, Annette, say "what's the movie about?" And I walked towards her and said it was about our families being together forever. And she's like "what!!??" And I'm like "Yeah." And she was totally entranced. She said she knew that there had to be a way. Apparently she's been having problems with a very mean and very hateful daughter. And she loves us!!!!!
