The Difference Between a Hobo, Tramp, and Bumb.

Dearest friends and family,

Hello from the east coast. So, this past week we met a hobo at McDonald's. He asked us if we were mormons and if we'd like to talk. He told us Mormons always love to talk, haha. Then, we sat down with him and our Elders and he told us the entire history of Bridgeport in the 1950s. It used to be a booming town back then! It was alive and popping. Times have definitely changed since then. He told us he planned on writing a book about it. If he ever does-I'll let you all know. He also told us the difference between a hobo, tramp, and a bumb.

Hobo: Will work for food

Tramp: conman

Bump: someone that is a good guy, but he won't work for money. Or anything.

There's a good lesson for everyone today! I didn't ever think about the differences between those before! Haha.

Then, I went on exchanges with the Hartford sisters again! I was also with Sister Hieleson, again! Except for in her territory. Hartford is a huge city, and the sisters live right in the middle of it. When we were studying in the morning, the sun was rising and I got kind of a cool picture of our view from the 19th floor (pic1).

Then Elder Treseder is leaving us today because of Transfers! (each transfer is 6 weeks and you never know if you'll switch areas or companions. Since Sister Laudie and I are new to Bridgeport and I'm being trained-we're safe! And we're both in Bridgeport for at least another transfer). We all got along so well, so it's sad to see him go off to Rhode Island. (see pic2)

Well, this week I've learned so much about life. I was feeling down because sometimes we work so hard during the days and I feel like we don't make any difference. Then Sister Hamblin showed us this quote. (pic3) I hope you all have a beautiful week! Work hard! Stay happy! Life is good and God (and I) love you :)
