In Texas...

In Texas...People actually fly the state flag higher than the country flag.Dogs are everywhere. The drivers are terrible.We get flipped off often and return it with a smile and a wave.We talk to either a Baptist or a Methodist at every door ha.People wake up every morning and give themselves a hug just for being from Texas. HEY!these are just a few things I have noticed since being out haha. People here are so kind and loving but really so crazy. I love the people we tract into that say "Oh we know all about you Mormon's." haha, they really don't know anything. Elder Nelson and I have been teaching this woman Patty Thompson that we tracted into and we really feel so good about her. She has a 5 year old daughter and two step daughters so currently we are looking for a family to fellowship them. At our last visit Patty asked tons of questions about the Book of Mormon and even about our backgrounds so I got to talk about you lots :) it brought such a joy and strong feelings of the spirit to share with her something I hold so dear. I can't wait to see her and her family progress even more. I hope you all know how much I love you and how much I pray for you. I hope all is well back home. Tell everyone I love them k.
