How about you, Angie, what's been happening out your way? I don't have any specific questions, so just tell us about what you've been doing.
We set two baptism dates this past week. Sister Hutchings was with us for one of them, that was cool.
I was thinking about Grandpa this morning thinking about when he passed away when I was on my mission. If he were to pass away closer to the end of my mission I would want to go home to be at the funeral, so I'm grateful that I was just beginning my mission when it occurred.
Mom, I was wondering if you would send me an ipod, not my touch but perhaps the ipod Lisa was using before I let her use the touch.
Did Lisa go to R/S on Sunday? I hope she had a good time. What should I say in my email for the sisters in R/S?
Oh, I would use my JP card for a lot more things but it declines for like the last two weeks of the month so I gotta use my own card or not buy food at all and starve. I personally think it's dumb that it stops working when we have the money for what we need, but we cannot buy it because our cards don't work. I hate it.

Transfer 5 Week 4, June 21, 2010
Dear Family,
1. You never did say, can we assume you have the cast off and you got a clean bill of health for the broken wrist and elbow? Yes the cast is off. Though for contacting Sister Winder and I are thinking about wearing it so people will talk to us, and so we can get waves (five waves equals one contact).
2. How are you and Sister Winder getting along? Sister Winder and I are getting along pretty well; at first she didn't like the mess I made when I unpacked.
3. Are you finding people to teach? Yes, we're finding people to teach, but the area has just been worked that it's kinda hard.
4. How's the weather affecting you (if at all)? It's hard, it's really, really, REALLY HOT. So no one is outside sittin' on their porches (I can understand why), or outside in general because it's so stinkin' hot.
5. What's it like in your new area? McMinnville is a small city, but there are 3 companionships of missionaries (a set of English elders, a set of Spanish, and of course yours truly and Sister Winder).
6. Similar to the other cities or different? McMinnville is somewhat similiar to Cookeville, it's been worked almost to the bone. The members here aren't as friendly and they don't want to come out with us on exchanges or feed us. (At least the sisters they don't. I've seen the elders’ [list] and they have like every day filled where we're lucky if we have two a week.)
7. Did you do anything special for Father's Day? Unless contacting is "special," nope.
8. Were you invited to dinner any where? The answer is the same to that as above, nope.
love.

Transfer 5 Week 3, June 14, 2010
We told Bro. Gooden (Ward Mission Leader) about my seizure (we were talking about an investigator) he joked that I should have a seizure at every investigator's home so that they'll join the church. We both said no. [Angie missed her meds for a few days and had a grand mal seizure. Another fun call from the mission president—NOT!] I have a fear that my medication won't last very much longer. I have enough until the next shipment, but I feel it effectiveness is going down, don't really know why but I do. [Probably because she’d reduced the amount in her system...silly girl!]

Transfer 5 Week 2, June 7, 2010
Q&A:
Angie, I'm anxious to hear more about you and Sister Winder. You knew her back in your Cookeville days, right?
Yup, Sister Winder and I knew each other in Cookeville, Tennessee before Sister Goff and I left for Dickson (I miss Dickson ) but I'll work hard here in McMinnville.
I'm especially wanting your local address. If you don't know it by heart already, I bet she does, so be sure to send it.
103 Main Street Apt 203 McMinnville, Tennessee I don't know the zip code (sorry) [It's 37110.]
How's the work in McMinnville? Have you got people you're teaching? How's the Ward and the members?
The work isn't really moving. There have been sisters in McMinnville for at least two years and the area is just worked to bits. There are a few people that we have in our teaching pool, none, however are progressing. The ward is . . . well I don't want to sound harsh or anything, but the ward is exhausted. They've had missionaries here forever and I think they just need a break for a litttle while.
I sent you other emails earlier this week, so be sure you answer ALL the questions!!
We heard about Meagan (CA Spanish speaking mission) and Tyler (MI mission) yesterday—Meagan is doing really well and is also learning Korean and teaching in that language. Tyler is also doing really well and shared how he and his companion are sometimes using sidewalk chalk to contact. They write a question on the sidewalk and then write: Want to know the answer? Call: (cell phone number). Sister Harrison said they got more than 20 phone calls after that! Can you believe it?!
Yeah, I can. Makes sense—get them thinking then they call, set up an appointment then we have them hooked. hehehe.
What's Sister Winder's first name?
Sister Winder's first name is Alexandra
How long has she been out?
She's been out for about a year now.
Did you have any other baptisms before you left Dickson? (I think John's was the last you wrote about.)
Anthony was the last baptism we had in Dickson before I got transferred. Anthony is John's great-nephew. He's a really good kid.
Did you take your bike with you or loan it to the Sister who needs one?
I loaned it to a sister who has just come. She didn't have a bike and she needed one so I let her have mine. I want to use it after the mission so I'm sure I can get it back.
Did Sister Winder already have a car or did you take the one from Dickson with you?
McMinnville already had a car, so Dickson still has Jose Jr.
How was the trip to McMinnville?
Long, It took over two hours to get here, and it shouldn't've taken that long. Those that brought Sister Winder and I to McMinnville took awhile to get us here.
What ward are you assigned to?
The McMinnville Ward (That really isn't a surprise, is it? The ward is named after the city.)
Angie, I'm anxious to hear more about you and Sister Winder. You knew her back in your Cookeville days, right?
