Dogs: A Missionaries Worst Enemy

Hello FamLee and Friends!
You know all the stories you hear about missionaries and dogs? Well,they are all true. Dogs are a missionaries worst enemy. Everyone here in Rochester has a dog. Most have anywhere between 2-10.The houses here are far apart and have long gravel driveways. So we usually start walking up the gravel path and wait for the dogs to come sniff us before we walk to the door. We have run into some mean dogs. One was the size of a small horse(I'm not joking) We had to walk for 1/4 mile down the driveway backwards, very slowly until we were out of sight. I'm pretty sure that dog could have eaten us! That's just the life of a missionary. I guess though I love every second of it! My companion Sister Balmforth is awesome and in the past week we have picked up 4 new investigators. One has committed to be baptized in a couple of weeks and I am so excited  to  have my first baptism in my first area. Yep, good things are happening in the WA-TAC Mission. It's the best mission in the world. I think and pray for you all back home often. This missionary loves and misses you all. That said I wouldn't trade being a missionary for anything in the world right now. I live the people and the work. I hope all is well with all of you. I look forward to hearing from you all.
Love,Sister Lee.
