... If you didn't read that like Elder Callughn then go read it again. If you don't know who that is then go watch "The best two years" Like right now! For realz! It is the beeze neeze and ridiculously accurate! This week was a pretty good week! I am absolutely exhausted though! Fun fact! We have to bike about 10 miles before we get to anyone! We have a few people closer than that, but not many... We biked SO MUCH last week! Our area is huge! Oh and we left Florida for a solid week and landed in Washington apparently... It was overcast and rainy for FOUR days straight! and it was cold rain! Luckily we arrived back in Florida yesterday though so no worries! I am such a baby when it comes to the cold. I remember everyone telling me how the humidity makes it like a 10000x worse, but I didn't really believe them. SORRY Jeremiah! It gets in your bones and you can not get warm! You all will laugh when you go look at the weather and see the lowest it got last week was like 45, but whatevs I was freezing my buns off! Okay so basically I love this area! My ward is awesome and the people are great! The only challenge is that it is a pretty wealthy area. I can't tell you how many times this week I ran into people who flat out do not believe in God. One man told me Jesus Christ was a political statement. What does that even mean!? I was pretty much devastated... I can't comprehend how you could not believe in God and be happy. What would be the point of this life? Anyway so I was starting to be hesitant to talk to people. I didn't want to have another person reject something that means everything to me. So Saturday I was feeling this way and we had been biking for hours with no success. We finally called a member to see if we could swing by to get some water. We headed over, but this lady lives in like Narnia! Seriously it is so hard to find the turn off to her street! We biked back and forth for 30 minutes on the same quarter mile! It was crazy. Finally I found a dirt road that I thought was it. Sister Calder was like that's not it, but we can try it. Long story short we go down and find a woman who had been praying for direction in her life and here we come riding down a weird dirt road that lead to nowhere! Crazy right!? The Lord is definitely proving me here, but I can honestly say I love it! Sometimes I am a total baby about it, but luckily he still loves me and provides little miracles along the way! Look for the little miracles in your lives. I promise they're there! I love you all so much! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY NAE-NAE!!!! I love you so stinkn' much!!! MUAH! -Love Sister Upshaw
