First week in GA

Hey Y'all!! these last six days have been insane!! My Last day in the MTC we got blessings from our wonderful elders before we got on a plane to come to Georgia! it was awesome of them to give us and each other blessings it was an amazing experience and it helped a ton. :) The next morning we got up at 2:40 am to get on a bus and come to the airport to fly to Georgia! it was sooo early and we were exhausted! i got to call my amazing family. which was awesome but super hard because i bawled for like 10 mins before and 10 mins after. but i was soo glad i was able to talk to them. i can't wait for christmas! we got off the plane and ran into some elders that picked us up. then we got to meet President Bennion! he and sister bennion are soo cool and nice! then they handed us a Book of Mormon some Mormon.Org cards and a couple pamplets and said we are getting on the Marta which is the train at the airport and we are going to talk to people. This was the scariest thing i have ever done in my life! i was freaking out and i started crying because i was sooo scared!! Sister Garver reassured me that i was going to be okay because i still had her to help me. Then Elder Coleman said oh yeah! funny story your doing this by yourself!! then i started really Freaking out! But i met some awesome people on the bus and slowly got more and more comfortable with it. i gave away a Book of Mormon and a lot of Pass along cards! i did soo good! So my first day here I met my companion!! her name is sister Arbon. She is fabulous!! i sadly don't have a picture of her because its been so busy we haven't had time. :) but she is awesome and we get along really well! My mission is a tracting mission! so day on we went door to door trying to talk to people its actually a lot of fun. :) i have met so many awesome people! I haven't met a lot of the other investigators yet. but i will this week! something fun that we get to do every saturday is we get to go play soccer! its soo much fun! all of the missionaries in my area get to go and then we invite investigators or anyone really. this week we had some people show up that heard we played and wanted to play! it was a ton of fun! Elder Lee totally stepped on my foot and its soo bruised right now but it was soo much fun and totally worth it. One Last experience hopefully your not sick of them. :) on my first day we went tracting in our apartment area. a mission is soo hard. haha i am having a ton of fun. but i have been hissed at and i have been rejected i have been told that there is weed in the bible. haha its been amazing and i can't wait to start this next week!!! lots of love and prayers!!
