Hello everyone!! I hope you all had a good one!
Said goodbye to Alma this week. I love that area. The miracle area. I said goodbye to Elder Peterson. He is a good missionary and will do good things.
My new companion is Elder Rivera! He is fantastic! I love him so much! He is excited to work and we have hit the ground running here in Mena. He was driving all day on the transfer loop and we drove together for 3hrs to Mena. We had a pleasant conversation and met some elders at McDonalds. They took us to our ward mission leaders at 8:30pm at night and we didn't know what was going to happen.
Our ward mission leader is Brother Elder and we call him Abear. He told us he has been doing "a challenge" with missionaries for 8 years and he was going to do it with us. I was like, oh frick. What the challenge is is we close our eyes and he just puts a mystery food into our mouth and we have to eat it! I was so nervous. A random man I don't know shoving random mystery food into my mouth that I have to eat! Crazy! We ate pigs hoofs, a lemon, a jalapeno pepper and apple cider vinegar. Straight nasty. The pigs hoof were pickled so it was basically vinegar. The apple cider vinegar was soooo grosss. Never again. By far the worst food I have had on the mission.
Speaking of nasty food, I will send pictures of the 4 week old food we found in our fridge. If the apple cider and pigs hoofs didn't make you gag these pictures will. 
It's been great to shotgun an area. I am enjoying this experience of being new again. It reminds me of my shotgun days in Clarksville. Ignorance is bliss haha. We are working and plan to work hard this week. Gonna find those who are prepared to receive the gospel and meet with some members.
The landscape of Mena is beautiful. We are in a valley with mountains around us. There is a national forest close by. Highly recommend you visit.
Love you lots!!
