Hello All!
I attempted to write another email, but I made eye contact with a lady across the library and ended up talking with her about all of her problems and God and such. She is having a hard time but she has a lot of faith. She cried and cried (in the middle of the library) and told me that I am an angel sent from God to comfort her. It was really nice. She said a prayer right in the library thanking God for sending me to her.
Biloxi is beautiful. Northern Mississippi looked just like Arkansas, but Biloxi looks different because it is on the coast. We visited the beach today and it rains a ton here. I love it. The trees are beautiful too. Interesting fact, a lot of the people here were refugees of Katrina. I learned the hard way not to bring up Katrina because everyone has a tragic story to tell.
Biloxi is a tough area. We just opened it up, so there hasn't been much for us to do this past week. We had no current people to work with and we didn't know any of the memebers, so we basically had to start from scratch. We have found about 8 potential people that we can meet and will be following up with them this next week.
I don't have a lot of time (I spent it with the lady here in the library) so I will just tell about my favorite experience so far. We had 2 really rough days of tracting and people were so rude. So on the third day I was really not looking forward to tracting. We looked up the address of a less active person and decided to track them down but when we knocked on the door they weren't there. But the woman we met started crying and told us that she had been praying for help from God and loved our message and accepted an invitation for us to come back tomorrow. We are super excited because she was so sweet.
Okay, well everyone is waiting on me to get off the computer.
I love you guys. I love the Gospel. I love Biloxi
