It is crazy to think that i have been out that long. I still feel like i just got out. But all is going well and I have been having a lot of fun here in the Grove.
We just had the Bassmaster's Classic come to town so there was a ton of traffic and boats everywhere. I guess the fishing out here is pretty good. We'll probably end up going sometime It is way different out here from Tulsa. We have a huge area so sometimes we will have to drive an hour to our dinners or to an appointment so it is hard to get a lot of teaching in. There are a ton of gravel roads out here so we have a lot of fun in Rachel (our red Nissan truck).
Last week we had a lady call us and ask for a Book of Mormon. So we went out there and ended up teaching the first lesson and her family looks super promising. Kind of every missionaries dream for people to come to us looking for the gospel.
Some of the missionaries here before didn't do a great job of teaching or finding so I have got a lot of work to do to get this area rolling again. It is pretty frustrating when lazy missionaries leave an area a mess.
But overall i am enjoying myself out here. we are really far away from other missionaries so preparation day is pretty laid back and relaxing and it is good to get a break.
Hope you all are doing well
Love,
Elder Shepherd
