Hermana Jessica Peterson's Mission Adventure: 6 More Weeks in Andrews!

Hey y'all!

Transfer calls were this week and we found our that both me and Sister Koford will be staying in Andrews for at least 6 more weeks! Our p-day activities last week included making Swig cookies and ties! Bill at the nursing home is doing better every day! He even danced a little during singing time this week! He gave us a copy of his war stories that he wrote down so that was cool!

We met a man this week while we were walking, his name is Ryan. He actually stopped us (that never happens!). He was curious what our name tags were. He is a young oil field worker and is interested in learning more. The oil field schedule makes it super hard to catch people at home but we have an appointment with him for Saturday morning!

We had another new couple move in this week! Their name is the Breymonds and they just moved from Big Spring (about an hour away). We were walking around on Thursday and all of a sudden this woman dressed in bright yellow is running at us yelling that she is a member of our church haha! We were sure surprised! We were able to help them move some things that day and helped them all Saturday morning and afternoon as well. They are super nice! She actually works at the bank with Pastor Jeff (from the Grace Baptist Church (no he didn't come to stake conference)) so we are going to have dinner with all of them at the Breymonds house sometime soon! She is super excited to help us work on him and she also said that he looks just like a bishop (that's what we keep thinking!!)!

This week was McArthur annual ice cream day! The last Friday before school starts you can go to the McArthurs and have as much ice cream as you want as long as you ask for it! We only went by twice. It is a super fun tradition that she shares with the whole neighborhood!

We had stake conference this weekend and it was great! It was awesome to see other missionaries and for me to see all the members from Odessa!
