So I'm borrowing this from an Elder that served in my mission. I thought it was a pretty substantial list.
top ten things to miss about the South:
10. Fried Chicken. Stereotypical I know but that stuff is good and nobody makes it like the people here
9. Humidity.
A lot of people don't like it but the reality is your sweat keeps you cool folks! Don't believe me take a flight from Atlanta to Phoenix and see what happens.
8. Random women calling you honey, babydoll, sweetie, etc.
What guy wouldn't miss that?!?
7. Rain and Thunderstorms.
Because nowhere makes it rain like Alabama!
6. American Football.
I think we can all say that the South pretty much dominates college football. Just count the titles folks!
5. People are genuine.
Extremely honest people. They don't beat around the bush down here. If you wanna know what somebody believes religiously, politically, or their favorite football team they won't be afraid to tell you or even wear it.
4. The Music
It's kind of hard to travel here without hearing great music. A lot of the beginnings of blues, soul, country, and rock n' roll all started here. Elvis was even born and raised here!
3. People get along pretty darn well. It's kinda nice having people to talk to you everyday and not avoid you!
2. People actually care about what's going on in each other's lives and have general concern for others.
1. Jesus. It's pretty easy to find Him the South. I found Him while I was there. It just seems like anywhere else you have to play where's Waldo."
And here's a video I came across where a guy who asked random people in Alabama the last picture they took on their phones. It gives you a pretty accurate picture of what it's like to interact with those folks down there. Watch it!

This is only the first of many posts to come about my experience way down South. So git yerself ready for one of the greatest adventures of yer whole life. Have a blessed day!
