Jasper Missionary

Sept. 9, 2013
Hey Y'all!  So I got moved to Jasper, a small country town, but super cool! I am training again and my new companion is Sister Brunner.  She's a lot like me and we get along super well.  She plays like a million instruments and super good at all of them!
We've been tracking a lot and meeting a bunch of new people.  We met a guy name Steve- a big biker guy with tattoos all the way up his arms and a big beard.  He was the nicest guy.  Sister Brunner keeps talking about how we shouldn't judge people by the way they look and I have found that to be so true!  I learned that in my last area but it's fun to see true it is in this little town.
We've also met a few animal friends along the way...Leonard the Lizard was found in our home and is now sharing our apartment.  Jeremiah and Goliath are frogs, and Alma and Amulek the boxers walk us home every night-  they are super sweet!
We are living with a non-member Miss Betty.  She's about 80 and we love her!  When we first met her she said, "Oh you must be my baby dolls?"  She calls us her family and is so sweet to us.  We went out to dinner with her our first night there.  After dinner the elders asked if we wanted to come over to the church and meet some members so we found out that just about everybody in the Jasper branch is related somehow or another.  There are about 50-60 people in the whole branch including kids.
On Friday we get to go to the Temple!  I am really hoping that they have the new movie so I can see what everyone keeps talking about.
Love Y'all!
