That's a meal that a family made us one night... I'm in fried heaven.

Tour of Tville (2) (Jan. 13, 2014)
4. Everyone is literally OBSESSED with Dollar General. The Smoke Shack, unfortunately, is also a big hit around here.
5. Mariachies! Our one and only restaurant! A little bit sketchy.. but they have the yummiest chips and salsa.
6. We decided we would take pictures of all of the "corners of town" look, a church!
7. Ope... there's another one!
8. and another!
Tour of Tomkinsville (Jan. 13, 2014)
Tour of Tompkinsville!!
By: yours truly... Sister D and Sister P <3
1. Super Classy Shopping
2. Dovies... the town hang out. Half Pound Burgers cooked FLOATING in oil. Most people experience cold sweats after eating them because of how much grease they have. We are not even kidding.
3. In case you ever decide to come for a visit... Tompkinsville Inn awaits you!
Greetings from good ol' Kentucky... (Jan 13, 2014)
Hello everyone! Things have been really great down here in Tompkinsville and it continues to get better every day.
Some fun things that have happened this week...
- We had 100 people come to church on Sunday!
- A 25 year old member that we have been working with for a while now has decided to serve a mission! This is a huge miracle because when I first came out she was 1. addicted to cigarettes, 2. had a problem with marijuana, 3. hardly came to church and 3. is an only child surrounded by people that aren't... what would you call it... good examples...?
She is a changed person inside and out and she shared a beautiful testimony that made everyone cry during sacrament meeting yesterday. Ah, makes me so happy.
-Chandler and Amber Scott have been meeting with us twice a week in preparation for their baptism on January 26th.
- The weather here has been quite ridiculous. We had icy cold -2 degree weather at the beginning of the week, and now we're having 54 degree weather, so the thunder storms have been endless. And everyone knows that thunder storms are my favorite (not).
Sorry that the week hasn't been as exciting... It's mission life, what can ya do.
Love you all,

Pictures from this week (Jan 6, 2014)
-We survived the blizzard of 2014
-Our backyard a few days ago... WE'RE SO LUCKY
I don't have a lot of time, but here's my week update (Jan 6, 2014):
UPDATE:
-On New Years Day, all the missionaries from our zone got together and we spent the entire day together. We played plenty of card games, board games, and a very intense game of spoons.
- Two days ago we had a ginormous snow storm hit in my area. The temperatures are at a record low starting at -2 degrees, but don't you fret. Me and Sister Dixon are staying safe, warm, and even though we couldn't drive yesterday night, we traveled by foot and taught most of our neighbors.
- Yesterday, our ward was celebrating the 20 year anniversary of our church building, and we had TONS of investigators come. For the first time in history we had 125 people in our congregation. Our mission president and his wife drove up to T-ville to speak, and the spirit was very strong. Me and Sister Dixon (both getting over bad colds) sang "I know that My Redeemer Lives" at the event, and even though we sounded a bit rough, there wasn't a dry eye in the building.
- We are working to have 3 baptisms this month! Each investigator has been working hard, and all of them have quit smoking completely, which is a HUGE miracle.
Love you all!
