My Second Last Transfer has begun. Its pretty nuts. This one is 7 weeks and so 13 weeks until the big day.
This morning we got calls and so I am starting off the transfer in a new area with a new companion. I dont know where I am going yet but I know it is going to be good! I am excited for the change.
This might be one of the hardest areas to leave. Opelousas is still number one but man it's tough. I love the people here and have been super touched by each and every one of them! Its a great place. Miss Gerrie, the lady who we see each week was losing it today when we told her we were leaving. Her husband passed away on friday and so we attended a funeral and just stood by her side. Then we told her we were leaving and it almost killed her. They gave her husband a 21gun salute for serving in the navy. It was pretty awesome. I've never seen anything like that!
Well Mardi Gras was this week. It was pretty crazy. Well we headed into New Orleans tuesday morning for the day of Mardi Gras or 'Fat Tuesday'. We got there early. We headed there with an Investigator and on the way we almost got killed. He was flying through the hood in his Range Rover. Well some man starts screaming out some bad words and just telling him to slow down. Well, this guy puts his head out the window and screams some words back. He says "Uh Oh I just made bullets fly, LETS GET OUT OF HEREEEEE" And then went even faster. It was crazy!
Mardi Gras was pretty sweet. I definitely didnt have any crazy stories like last year. But it was awesome!!! We ended up walking like 11 miles that day and just talking with a bunch of people. I met this girl from Australia so that was cool too. Oh so as we were leaving this lady stopped me and tried to buy my beads from me. I finally gave in. Made $30 hahah so that was cool! It was next to the australian girl. She then called me a bogan for selling my beads. I laughed. I havn't heard that word in YEARSSS!!! It
The other night we were at this lady's house and she gave us some wild boar meat. So we are about to cook it up! That'll be crazy!
Not too much more for you this week!
Love you all and hope you have a great week :)
