Happy Copsicus (note:Copsicus is a silly made up holiday our family celebrates sometimes) to y'all!
I hope you are all having a great holiday! I also hope you all had a great week! Mom- you sure do ask a lot of questions and I hope I can answer them all. I will answer the ones you sent with my journal. We go grocery shopping at Walmart everyday p-day so it is just like I am home. We have a washer and dryer in our place so we can do it anytime we need, which I love. We had a few days where it was off and on downpour rain but otherwise it has been very hot. It is 96 degrees right now so it is definitely hot already. We do have two air conditioners one where we study and one where we sleep. The moms we wrote poems for are Sister Marsh who is the Bishop's wife who is just like our second mother. The other one is Sister Riley who is our next door neighbor who takes us out to lunch each monday (she framed her poem). We also wrote one for Sister McConkie and she really enjoyed it too. We drive a Corolla and my companion drives. The senior companion always has to drive and I am the designated backer which means I stand outside the car while she backs up. Jeff sends me typed up letters in the mail every once in awhile which is sweet. I have seen a couple of Piggly Wiggly stores but have yet to go inside of one. There are so many different religions here in South Carolina. There are Jehovah's Wittness, Baptists, Methodists, Lutheran, Southern Baptists, Presbyterian That is all I can come up with right now for you. Today we went golfing with the Bishop's parents and it was so much fun. I had never been golfing before so I knew it wold be interesting. I was the designated putter and by the end I was pretty good. I also got to drive one of the golf carts which had always been a dream of mine. I think they want to take us out again soon so that should be fun. Nothing too exciting happened this week to report, Our baptism is postponed again until June 4th. He is going out of town to help his brother with some family problems so he asked if we could move it to the 4th. He did stop smoking and drinking tea so we are very happy. He participated more in gospel essentials which was great to see. We did a lot of walking this week in the nice hot sun! The bugs just love us way too much and have become quite annoying. We need to get fly swaters to keep them away! We did get a new investigator this week and some appointments set up for some other people we found. Each week we have an hour to read and compose emails. This last Friday, the bishop's wife took us to a place called Shealy's. It is an all southern food place. I didn't really try anything new, but stuck with fried chicken, rolls and some other things. They have all sorts of a variety there. I think you would like it. I need to broaden my horizon and try new things and now is the time to do so. Transfers are this week and Sister Wright and I are staying together since she is training me so I am excited. I met a couple of other sisters at the missionary fast and testimony last week but that is all. My mtc companion is in a city called Tabor City which is on the other side of where we are. It is the only city on the mission that is in North Carolina. I am becoming really good at contacting people and sharing a message with them. We are working on teaching more together as a companionship. I just need to do more of my part. I think I am finally getting the hang of that. My companion is great and helps me out whenever she can see that I am stuck. Although I still do not like role playing I am just doing it. I have not run into sister Moore at all yet. She must have seen a picture of me somewhere I don't know. I would like to meet her though. The scripture I want on my plaque is Joshua 1:9. I don't care what picture you use just make sure it is a good one. I can't remember where it is at sorry. Brad and Mandy- congrats on the baby being a girl. You have such cute little girls. Have you thought of any names yet? I am sure you will have a boy someday! Riley congrats on the scholarship that is great. I have got to go but thank you all for all your love and support. You are the best! Love Katelyn.
P.S dad we do take water bottles with us daily one frozen and one from the fridge. Look at walmart for root beer flavored otter pops. You will love them.
