I am now in Pitman. I really like it so far. Today we were able to have lunch with an investigator named Dutchess. She's a 74 year old woman, who basically just likes company and someone to cook for. A member fed us dinner. She just got baptized last year and is just living with her 5 year old son. She's planning on going to the temple next week. We took over the Elders area, and we're both new to the area, so it's pretty stressful. We reorganized the elder's tracting box and area book tonight. Much improved.

Today was fabulous and I'm not even lying. We started off the day by visiting sister Streeter, a member who is 82 years old. Then we went to another member's home. She has Lou Gehrig's disease and is not in very good condition. Both extremely sweet ladies. We then went to Cowtown and did a street meeting. Very diverse people there. This is where it gets good. We went to visit Rita, a former investigator, who let us right in. She was surprised to see sisters. I think it's exactly what she needs. She then referred us across the way to Kathy and Don, who let us in as well! They were smoking the whole time, but very welcoming people. We have return appointments. We then visited another member. Very sweet! I love the people here! She gave us some hot chocolate and we went with her across the street to help an old lady to the bathroom. It's what she does all day. She was watching Lawrence Welk, which totally made me think of Mom and home.
Got a letter from my Madre. She always says she's so proud of me. I honestly think that's why I'm out here, for my family members. I'm doing this for them. Anyway, what an excellent day. I'm a little nervous to go to the ward tomorrow, but have faith that things really do happen the way they are supposed to. Everything has a purpose, place, and order. Peace out for now homes~
