LIL OL ME hangin' in DC: Old McDonald had a .........

HELLO from the most humid place on earth;)

Update on the President of the United States and his progress: I'm sure he's great, but I live on a farm 2 hours away from him so I really don't know. Hahah! It'll still be a hot minute before he's Mormon;)

I made it to DC safe and sound and I'm just lovin' it here:) So my area is called Ham/Cat! (Ok ok. I know what you're thinking. Poor Sister Mod. It sounds like she is serving in the ugliest area in the world... but OH CONTRAIRE! IT MOST DEFINITELY IS NOT! Do not be fooled by the unfortunate name of Ham Cat;)) This place is like an eternal canyon drive without the mountains! There are huge trees literally everywhere and everything is bright green! It's absolutely amazing, but ya we for sure live in the middle of nowhere. It takes us an hour and a half to drive from the top to the bottom of our area! I live on a cute farm just like most people out here. Everyone around here has horses or cows or goats or chickens. It's sick. Also, everyone lives in beautiful mansion houses! #blessed

Look at this gorgeous area! Paige is the luckiest!!

Cute Sister Ewell is Paige's trainer.

My cute trainer's name is Sister Ewell!! She is from Murray and has been out for 9 months. She's so so sweet and patient with me because this past week I've been running around like a chicken with its head cut off, hahah! I have no clue what I'm doing or where I am or who I'm talking to, so she just helps me along! Haha! Such an angel.

People are so sweet here in Virginia! Even if they're not interested at all, most of them have been so nice to us. Some people are scared of us though. Hahah! We have had like four people just stare at us and slowly back away, hahah. So uncomfortable, but so funny. Like we can see you dude. You're not getting away that easy. We also had one kid say, "Sorry. We're kind of Jewish," and his mom was like, "What? No we're not." And he was like, "Well I am." And she was like, "No you're not dude." Hahah. Good stuff. So in conclusion, missionaries are kind of scary and that kid isn't Jewish. Haha.

This week has been crazy but I have never felt so much strength from my Heavenly Father. He really will support us through all of our good and bad times, and He loves us no matter what. I know that because I wouldn't be able to be here on my mission if He wasn't helping me through every minute. If you're going through a hard time right now, start finding at least three tender mercies every day, and I promise as you look for them, you'll see how much your Heavenly Father loves you and is trying to help you!! I love you all so much and I'm prayin' for ya:))
