I celebrated my 3 month mark in my head. At 6 months I burn some Knee highs, at 9 I burn a shirt, 12 a skirt, and at 18 I burn a whole outfit before coming home. I'll do the knee highs, but I don't know if I can bring myself to do the others. We'll see.

I appreciate the things you found for me earlier this week. We are meeting with this girl in about an hour and we'll see how it goes. We've been studying and preparing as best we can all week. As for the rest of my week...

Tuesday I had my first true southern food, fried okra, fried chicken, cheese broccoli, and banana pudding. It was very good, but I'll be OK not eating it again, I felt fat after we left and I really hadn't eaten that much. I was sure the grease was oozing through me and clogging my arteries as I sat there.

Wednesday we had dinner at a members - Amanda drove us - we got about three feet from the house before we realized that we had a flat. That was a fun adventure, changing the tire I mean. Benny has pictures, but I don't.

Thursday we were at TCC as per usual and taught the law of chastity to three different people - it was interesting. That seemed to be the topic of the day.

Friday, July 11, 2008 at 10:45 a.m. I was Saved. Two girls walked up to me and asked some religious questions and then asked if I'd like to learn more, seeing an opportunity I agreed. We have many similar belief's and they kept telling me that if I accepted Jesus Christ in my heart that I would be saved. So I did and now I'm saved. We talked a lot about Faith without Works being dead, and grace and so on. It was actually a good conversation, I left them with lots of reading material like pamphlets and who knows maybe something made sense to them.

Today Benny, Amanda and I went to the Flea Market. Benny bought a confederate flag for $2 - I just haven't been in the south long enough to appreciate it - but I did get a Jesus Saves t-shirt last week. I'm slowly being broken in. So that's me - I hope you are all safe and happy. Love you lots. Kelli
