My favorite part about Bluefield so far....the fact that we have left the Mormon anthill and live by the Baptist church, Christ's church, the Pentecostal, The holy cross church and 4 or 5 others. I love our little ward where after sacrament on Sunday, Brother Richardson came up to me and said, "Do you like to teach about Jesus?" When I said yes he asked, " Would you like to teach about Jesus with 5 seconds to prepare? Excellent. Would you mind teaching Sunday School to the youth?" I went to the room and found out they don't have young womens, they have young woman. One. The young mens has three times that, as in there are 3 of them. Business isn't booming in the ward but I love these sister missionaries. They come for dinner on Thursdays and then Liv and I go with them to give lessons, visit less actives and do a little sickle thrusting in the white field (or I should say Bluefield...ha). I love being apart of this. I love missionary work so much. I think I have some selfish motives for wanting the sisters to baptize families...not just for the salvation of the converts but for my own sanity so I have people at church to talk to! Our ward is so small and funny but we'll save those stories for another day. I love being apart of this. It's like being on a mission without having to speak spanish or wear nylons and I get to sleep by G at night instead of some girl I would never invite to my birthday party under normal circumstances. Yes the field is white in Bluefield. I love it here.
