Week 52

Hello Hello!

 

First i wanted to say something in response to Cameron's letter from last week...  No letter's for 2 whole weeks?!?! Try no letter's your whole mission!!!!

 

Anyways.

Dickson has been pretty good so far.  So i found out that we have a Truck here!!!  full time!  and i'm the driver now!  so thats pretty neat..   It's only a chevy colorado though... 

 

Then i found out that we live in our own house!  Which is also pretty sweet.  Except that it's probably the smallest place i've lived on the mission so far....

 

Dickson is a pretty big place, not sure quite how big yet though, our ward boundaries are Huge, like even bigger then Foxcroft was, and we only have 1000 miles so we end up walking A lot for having a full time car.  So most of our time here is spent walking.

 

Heh... So we had a zone meeting on Thursday and both of us don't have a GPS so that's a thing, but anyways we take a pretty straight forward way to get to Columbia TN where our Zone Meeting is, but Elder Lofthouse tell's me to go a different way on the way back.....   Long story short, he gets us lost in some Crazy hick'ish back roads and even some dirt roads and it takes us like 2 1/2 hours to get back where as it only took maybe 50 minutes to drive there.

 

Do any of you remember me talking about "The Krew" back in lewisburg?  Well Dickson has it's own version of "The Krew'!  except this one is more ghetto.  It seemed super fake when we were there because people don't ever act like they did, at least i thought so...  Like there was this weird black guy who was throwing chairs out of his house and breaking them outside because i had a picture of Jesus on my planner and he didn't think that Jesus was white...  Crazy stuff like that, it was pretty funny.

 

Anywho, the ward here is pretty good, its got about 400 members but only like 90 to 100 people are active, and almost all of them are like 60 and over... Its an Old ward...

 

But uhh, i cant remember anyhting else... So Bye!

Love Ya

-Elder Martin
