Hi everyone
I hope all is well. I am loving it down here. We have the coolest people here. I love serving the Lord and meeting all the new people. We have one family that was baptized right before I came that we are still working with and they are just so cool. I have a lady that we are teaching that has been blind for 4 years. She had a tumor removed and now she can see a little bit. We gave her a Book of Mormon in Braille and she was so excited. She has started to read it and there have been so many wonderful things happen. I know it is because of the Lord.
I don't like tracting. It scares me. My trainer is way cool about helping me and showing me the things I need to do better. We live with a family so I have kids by me all the time and it has helped me not get homesick. The sky is so big and clear. The temperature is perfect in the 80s. Ahhhh it is awesome. My comp and I love each other and she is teaching me a lot.
Right before I left the MTC I was told there was an explosion in the church all around the church in the 60s and that it is going to happen again and that I am going to be one of those that helps make that happen. In Alma 13:24 it says "and now, my bretheren, I wish from the inmost part of my heart, yea, with great anxiety even unto pain that ye would hearken unto my words and cast off your sin and not procastinate the day of your repentance." That is how I feel, great anxiety even unto pain. I want everyone to know the truth that I have and how it can and has helped their lives. I love it here and I know that the Lord has called me here for a reason and I can't wait to see why.
God Bless and lots of love,
Sister Pidge

Dear Brother and Sister Pidge
Sister Heather Nicole Pidge arrived in the Texas Houston South Mission on November 3, 2009. She is in good health and spirits and we look forward to serving with her. She is a fine young missionary and will be an asset to the mission. We will care for her as we would for one of our own as she labors in the mission field. We understand the concerns, hopes and prayers of parents for their children. We want each of the missionaries in the Texas Houston South Mission to have a rich, growing and successful experience. Be assured that should a time of special concern arise, I will notify you immediately.
Enclosed is a photograph of your daughter with Sister Saylin and me that was taken the evening she arrived. She has a good attitude and a desire to serve the Lord. We feel confident there will be early success in her labors. We are grateful she has been sent to this mission and pray the Lord will bless and strengthen your family through her service.
Her companion is Sister Alexis L. Metcalf and their address is: 6207 Keithwood Circle South, Pearland, Texas 77584. Feel free to contact me or Sister Saylin if you have any concerns or if there is anything we can do for your daughter.
Sincerely,
Gregory M. Saylin
President
First day
Hey everyone!
Today was my first day in the field. I loved it. I met some of the coolest people and I love Texas. It is so big and there is wide open space everywhere. I am in a small town called Pearland. There are a lot of trailers. The people here are really cool. My companion and I stay with a family. I haven't met all of them yet. My companion's name is Sister Metcalf. She is way funny. She is also new to the area so last night we were getting lost. It was so fun. It was funny to watch ourselves trying to find where we were and where we were going. I'm holding the map and saying "go left, go left", then 45 seconds later I said, "I think we should have gone right." Now we have a map we blew up so we can see it better and it is almost as tall as I am. We taped it to the floor and we are highlighting it so we get to know it better. Hopefully we don't get lost again.
We have a lady who is blind and this afternoon we gave her a Book of Mormon in Braille. We have met with her and her son twice and they both have baptism dates set. We are praying like crazy for them.
We will be in Pearland for Thanksgiving... so if anyone is in the area, you can take us out for dinner... lol
Lots of love,
Sister Pidge
