The people here are so nice! i haven't met everyone yet because conference was this weekend but i have met a few people! the ward is super into missionary work and its great!!! so much easier than milton! milton was hard! im now realizing how hard it was! im praying for sister Rappleye! she is kicking miltons butt! yeaya!

So the reason we're moving is because president told us to. like the week before i came, there was a guy stabbed to death around the corner and down the street from where we live! hahaha! crazy right?!?!?! and down like 3 houses is a crack house.... we live in the ghetto! its so awesome! we're pretty safe though! we're obediant so the lord protects us! oh my crazy story time!! the first night im here in tally. we go see a gator, and its the 2nd time they have met with him. we didnt want to go inside his house, because he was saying how he was a captian in the army for vietnam and he ordered a town to be killed and he knew there were innocent women and children in it. then he was an undercover agent and killed people, apparently he likes killing! he feels so bad now though he is trying to repent! we asked president if it was ok to teach someone like him, we got the ok! but anyway! we went to teach him and he lives in this apt complex, we sat outside! and we were almost finished with our lesson! he is so awesome we love him so much and cant wait for him to get baptized! (we know he will) and he will be able to feel some relief! just hearing what he goes through! it sad! he was crying i started crying!!!!! he NEEDs this gospel! ugh! the atonement is amazing and its just awesome all that it covers! this 68 yr old man who hates himself for what he did when he was younger has been living in agony and torture for so long! and than we came along!!!!!!! ugh its amazing! anyway back to the story!! so we were talking and than we heard tapping, like a blind mans cane! and some guy came up (talking very loudly might i add) and was like "excuse me!, can either one of you take  me back to my apt, i cant see and i will be walking around for hours trying to get to it!!" than rick(our gator) said " not right now were having a meeting sorry." and than the guy started yelling at us and he was sooo rude! he said " fine i will remove myself from you holiness while i try to get back!" ahh!! rick said that his nieghborhood used to be nice, but now a bunch of convics live here! the blind guy was a convict who has problems with drugs!!!!!!! say what??  we got back to our lesson and than the guy came again, and was like "hello? hello? I heard someone over here!" we all didnt say a word! we stayed silent and than he kept walking! haha crazy right! he couldnt see us though! than we whipspered that we better go hahaha he kissed all of our hands and thanked us! how sweet right!!! ( oh btw its way dark outside) but than rick was like "hold on a sec" He went inside grabbed his gun put it in his pants and walked us to our car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best/worst day ever!! (because it was transfer day) whaaat? is that crazy or what!! The lord watches out for us!!!!!!!! rick is amazing!!!! HE is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Than this member family we're teaching has a daughter who is being rebellious or something so they asked if we could teach her. we did try. but she is 14 and you know how they think hahaha so i started asking the family questions, not her. and turns out! they have an arabian! horse!!!!! if i wasnt on my mission they would let me ride him! aparently he is only saddle broken? but an arabian!!! i may or may not have freaked out!! i was sooo happy!!! than the girl got into the conversation! she is now my friend, mazy! so hopefully when we teach her again  we can connect better and touch her heart!! I think that is enough for this week. Wish me and sister hirst luck! Dont pray for patience though! i did that in milton and got transfered here to tally. haha I know that is not all of the reason why im here. honestly i think one of the reasons is because sister hirst. Im amazed she has lasted this long in the companionship without me! she is so happy im here! hahah I love her! im here to uplift her i think! THis is going to be fun! so many black people!! hahaha I love Tallahassee!!! The elders are awesome!!!! so sweet and polite!! its awesome!!!!!!!!!

Love Sister Milne
