1st week in the 1st area

It is so different out here, its literally hill billy island out here. My first area is in Kentucky, my companion is named Elder Flint, I saw Elder Lurker, it was just a quick hand shake though. 
There is a lot of road kill on the roads, lots of old people and smokers, I come home from a long day with my white shirt smelling like cigarettes. Most of the people here have no more than like 5 teeth, 6 if they are lucky. The branch in this area has only about 120 members, only 20 active members, the church building is no bigger than the old seminary building next to the old jr high, maybe even smaller. But, people are friendly for the most part. There are lots of pretty birds. Everybody in this area has a dog, I haven't been chased or bitten by one yet, but its bound to happen haha. Lots of Christian people out here, they are friendly and they all love Jesus and are friends to everyone. They love that we as missionaries love Jesus as well, they let us be their friends, but don't preach to them.... unless its Sunday haha. The other day we had a guy on the street just wave us over and teach him haha that was really cool and also unexpected. Anyways, I'm loving the hill billy land out here. Most everybody lives in a crappy apartment or a trailer. That is just the life style here. Our apartment is pretty nice though, I get my own bathroom and I have a foam pad on my bed, its really nice lol. 
I love you and I love the family
