<span style="font-size: large;">What amazing adults they have become!! They all have grown in ways that the Lord is well pleased. Be kind to them as they adjust to life at home. They have served the Lord well and now are making changes that will seem foreign to them. Listen to their experiences and the feelings they are experiencing. The more they talk, the faster they will adjust. We love them all and pray that they can take the things learned here in the mission field and make a successful and happy life? President and Sister Lee</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Hey Y'all!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> This week was great! Tuesday </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">we had a trade-off and I went with </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Elder Hardy in our area. They have trade-offs back to the old way here </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">so both areas are being worked again (if that even makes any sense at </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">all) and it was blast. We literally spent all day in the ghetto since </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">that's the only area I know pretty well so far. We taught like 4 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">people though which was great! I REFUSE to teach less than 4 on a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">trade-off. It was tons of fun! I'll attach a picture of him (he is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">sitting closest to me on the stage) We biked our hearts out. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Wednesday </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">we had interviews with President Lee from about 11 to 4. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I got to see Elder P Smith (my last companion) and we went out to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">lunch with them. Interviews definitely gave me a lot more direction </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">for what I need to do.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thursday we had some huge miracles. We drove </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">out to an area and started biking around. We found an awesome lady </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">named Melissa who was super pumped about listening! And we had 2 in </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">church yesterday!!! Woo!!! Solid week. Love y'all! The work is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">hastening!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Hey Y'all!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> This week has been super great! I'm down here all settled in Ocala </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">with Elder Marchant now. It's going to be a killer last transfer. I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">already know it. It kind of stinks/is awesome that I'm just a regular </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">missionary now. I've always been in or around leadership my entire </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">mission until now. It's great though because I can "relax" and focus </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">all of my efforts on our area and ways to improve it. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Monday and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Tuesday last I basically spent all day saying goodbye to people in </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Gville. Did I mention I love Gainesville 5th ward? Because I do. I'm </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">seriously going to miss everyone so much. But off to new adventures. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">We transferred Tuesday night instead of the usual Wednesday for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">reasons I'm too lazy to go into right now. Nothing super notable </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">happened this week. Just average missionary work. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">We are in a car </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">share so we bike Monday through Thursday. I just about died after 2 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">days because Ocala is ALL hills. But on the plus side my legs are </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">getting huge haha </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">On Thursday I hit a car... I've had really, really </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">close calls my entire mission but this was the first time I actually </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">made solid contact with a car haha. Don't worry I'm fine though. I'll </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">attach a picture. This lady had stopped at a stop sign and I was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">coming downhill pretty quick. It looked like I was clear so I was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">flying, but then she started to inch out into the crosswalk and I got </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">destroyed. Pretty crazy stuff.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Ocala is a nice blend of country and city </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">down here. The people are civilized but not TOO civilized, which is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">nice. There are tons of old people in our ward (and Ocala in general, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">it's a HUGE retirement town I guess) which is quite the change from </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">the young adult and young parent crowd we worked with in Gainesville. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">But yeah, here's to another week! </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Hey Y'all!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> Wow. What a week. It feels like an eternity all packed into 7 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">little days. So much has happened. First of all, I'm moving! Yep. I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">got transferred. For my very last transfer. But that's okay. I'm </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">headed down to Ocala 1st ward which is still in the Gville </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">zone. That means I have spent half of my mission in the beautiful, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">beautiful Gainesville Zone. I love it. I already know my companion </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Elder Marchant pretty well and am excited to work with him. He is a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">work horse and we are going to crush it this transfer. Baptize </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">nations. I will miss this ward and area so so bad. I LOVE these people </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">and this is tied for my favorite, if not my favorite area. Love this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">ward so much. Awesome people. Awesome investigators. But off to Ocala </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I go. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Last Monday we had Debra's baptism interview and it went great! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We sat and talked with Frank while it happened. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Tuesday we went to a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">district meeting in Chiefland and went on an exchange afterward with </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">the Cross City Elders. District was powerful and the tradeoff was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">great. It took me back to the good ol' days when I used to serve in the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Styx. We drove around and taught some amazing people and it was really </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">good to get to know and work with the elders there. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Wednesday we drove </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">straight back and went the YSA district's District Meeting. It was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Elder Stoker's "funeral" if you don't remember, me and him have served </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">around each other for a majority of our missions and he is only a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">transfer older than me. It was weird and is weird watching him </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">approach death... </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Thursday we had our own district meeting and that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">went great also. We are currently having a competition that whoever </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">invites the most people to baptism gets the "baptismal truck"--some </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">kids toy that's our trophy for it (we won by the way :) )</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Saturday Debra got baptized!!! It was great and a good spiritual experience. We </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">served at Farmshare that morning and drove up to High Springs. It was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">so much fun and that is when President Lee called me and told me that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I am getting released. Since then we have been saying goodbye to a few </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">people. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Below are some people that I always talk about. I took a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">goodbye picture with Sheila (who came to church yesterday!!!) and the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Grants. I'm going to miss them </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">both. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Love y'all and have an awesome </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">week! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">P.S: Mom, the Grant's are huge Walking Dead fans and they bought </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">a knock off of Michone's katana and I got to hold it! Thought you'd </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">appreciate it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This week has been good. I actually have some good pictures this week to remember what I did. Wednesday we did some service at Sis. May's and I got to wear this awesome hat that she bought in China.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Thursday we had our Zone Meeting and that went great. I gave a training being quick to observe based off of Mormon 1:2 and it actually went pretty good. It was a great, spiritually uplifting experience and I came away having learned something new. I LOVE our zone right now. They are so awesome and just a ton of great elders and sisters. Below is a picture of them and us with the STL's in the zone (sister training leaders , they are kind of like sister zone leaders...)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Saturday was crazy. We woke up and went to do a Farmshare in Waldo. It was way fun and we all grabbed lunch at Wendy's afterwards with a former member of our mission presidency. We came straight back and spent some time helping Frank (a member) set up for his wedding to his new wife Debra (our investigator). The wedding was awesome and a small affair done at the institute. It was pretty country since her family is from Interlachen, so it was a wear your nicest pair of cowboy boots kind of occasion, which I loved. Debra is getting baptized this Saturday!!! Woo!! She gets interviewed tonight and hopefully the rest is cake from there!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday was so great too. We are teaching a man named Josh and called him to see if he was coming to church but he didn't pick up the phone. So we were super bummed and headed to ward council and decided to go knock down his door afterwards. We woke him up and he almost made an excuse but he caught himself and was just like, yeah guys, give me like 2 mins. To get dressed.and he AND his girlfriend came, and our ward destroyed (in a good way) them with the amount of fellowship they got, it was so great to see it happen. Hope y'all are great fellowshippers haha. It was an awesome week. Love the ward, love the work. Love y'all!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Hey Y'all!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This week has been really good. Richly rewarding, and a lot of good </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">spiritual experiences. Monday I was sick.... That morning we had a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">ward 4th of July breakfast and it was SO FUN. I seriously love this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Ward so much, probably tied for my favorite one right now.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We were </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">playing ultimate frisbee with a couple of members and someone threw </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">the frisbee in the woods, so I was like, "hey! I'll get it!" And </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">apparently I disturbed a nest of Yellow Jackets. So for the first time </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">in my life I got stung by yellow jackets....7 times. I got destroyed. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But the ward was great and went out and bought me some medicine and a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">couple of Sprites. Again, love this ward. But yeah. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Tuesday we had a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">district meeting in Ocala and that was awesome as always. We had the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">get to know you game show and they called me and Elder Smith up. I did </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">a baptismal interview after for some Elders, and it was tough. The </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">candidate was mentally slow but still accountable enough to be </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">baptized, so I had to make it very very simple for him. I was really </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">grateful for the spirit during it. Based off of the answers that he </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">verbally gave, I probably wouldn't have passed him, but the entire </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">time the spirit was essentially smacking me in the face telling me </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">that I needed to pass him because he knew it was true. It was awesome. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We all went out to eat and headed back. We taught a few people and saw </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Sheila. We convinced her daughter to feed us "soul food". It was SO </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">GOOD. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Wednesday we drove up to JAX for MLC (mission leadership </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">council) and it was way good. We had some good trainings and it was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">President and Sister Lee's very first MLC so it was way good. The </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">spirit was really strong and I learned a lot. We went on tradeoffs </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">with the AP's after. Me and Elder Beard preached the gospel in </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Mandarin (the AP area). We had some good people that we taught. We </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">taught a man named Jason. He's kind of hippie and I've taught him </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">before on a tradeoff and I just love teaching him. He has these crazy, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">out there, concepts, that just throw me off so bad and I love it. It's </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">really refreshing to have no idea what the investigator will say, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">because by now I can usually guess what direction they are going to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">take it. So, we also had dinner with an eternigator of theirs, Tom, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">and Tom is a super cool guy and the cherry on top--he cooks like a champ.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We went to a district meeting in Mandarin Thursday </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">morning and got </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">to see some Elders that used to be in our zone so that was great. One </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">of them that used to be here is actually a District Leader over there </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">now. We finished up and drove back to Gainesville. We traded back off </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">and hit the ground running. We had Elders Quorum tradeoffs that night </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">and I went with our Elders Quorum President to visit a less active</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">family and we tried to visit Sheila but she didn't answer.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Friday our </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">proselyting time got destroyed. We had weekly planning and then had to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">take our car in for an oil change and tire rotation and to get some </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">new tires, so it took awhile. By the end of the night we got the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">chance to go over and see a part member family (their kid isn't </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">baptized) and we taught the plan of salvation using some of their </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">sidewalk chalk. It was great.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Saturday was way busy too. We had </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Farmshare in the morning in a town called Archer. In case I haven't </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">explained, Farmshare is a food distribution agency that gives food to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">those who need it and we help them run the tables and carry people's </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">bags to their cars. So yeah. We came back to Gainesville and went to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">the Stake Picnic for Pioneer Day and ate a ton of food and helped </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">clean up. We came out of it with like 80+ hot dogs and like 25 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">hamburgers. Needless to say I've been a happy camper the past couple </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">of days. We made a few other visits that days and got In contact with a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">few investigators to round up for church.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Yesterday was great to. We </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">had 2 'gators in church and went and ate our soul food after. We went </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">out to see Emmanuel and a few others and had a good night.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Another </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">awesome week. I'm really trying to be more focused than ever before. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">So don't talk to me about coming home unless it's absolutely critical </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">to my well being!!!! Thanks. I'm on this super intense study program </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">called "3 months to master disciple" and I'll finish the BOM, NT,and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">PMG twice before the end of my mission.

Hello President and Sister Lee.<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">June 27, 2016</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Y'all! This week was INSANE. So much crazy stuff happened I don't even know where to start, so I'll just start with Wednesday and hope I remember everything else as I go.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday we had a tradeoff with the Williston Elders, Elder Riley and Elder Altamirano. Elder Riley came out the same time as me so I've basically been waiting to go on a tradeoff with him my whole mission. So they came and we did service for an investigator. We thought it went really well and we actually got a lot done. We sorted out her boxes and stuff. But later on she sent us some super angry texts and stuff, morning and night, and has now officially "washed her hands of us" but hey it was a good crazy experience! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After that we changed and split up. Me and Elder Riley were on bikes and we tore it up! We taught some less active's kids (he wasn't answering, so we found his kids outside) so these kids are playing with their foam weapons and things. SO, we taught them a short lesson and right in the middle of it, I had a bloody nose and it was crazy. I had to stop it with my hands and ended up looking like a serial killer by the end of it all (blood all over my face). Also, Elder Riley didn't feel too good so we said a prayer and went to an investigators home to get some water and see if that would help. She was home! And Elder Riley pounded like 10 cups of water. We ate at Taco Bell, taught a recent convert, and knocked doors. We were supposed to help a member bring some furniture over to a another member's house, but the member didn't get back until 9:00 and at this point we are already 20 min. away from the house on bikes. SO, we loaded up and drove over with a bookshelf mattress and box spring. We unloaded and ended up getting back way late at like 9:50 that night. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The next day we got up and got ready and had our departing conference with President and Sister Craig. I'll miss them a ton and they have truly helped shape my life, but I'm excited to turn the new leaf to have President Lee here. We had a district meeting after and went to the YSA district's district meeting. It was great and super spiritual. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We had a tradeoff with Elder Boyson, me, Elder Marchant after and I went down to Ocala with Elder Boyson. We had a blast, and another crazy tradeoff. We went to go see this member referral who ended up being this super old guy who had Alzheimer's or something. And he had a super loud roommate that I somehow got roped into pushed around and he kept forgetting where he wanted to go haha. Old people... Gotta love em. The highlight was when one was trying to turn the TV off and there were 3 TVs and he kept clicking the remote turning on and off the wrong TV but he had no clue and he was dead set on the one consistently on. He was like swearin under his breath and saying the remote's broken and everything. It was hilarious! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We taught a part member family after that and taught a few other investigators that night. That day we got back to Gainesville and planned and had a few people to see that night, and we were both SO tired and just ready for bed. But we get a call from the Chiefland Elders at 9:15 saying that an Elder is going into the ER and the companion (who was calling) wanted company all night. So went in. ALL NIGHT. We got into the hospital at 10 and left at about 5 that morning. Awesome miracle though! We got there and one of our investigators was also there. So while we were waiting we got to talk to him and pretty much taught him a lesson at 3 in the morning in the ER. What a week y'all. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sheila came to church yesterday! I need to get a picture with her... But yeah. President Lee arrives today and takes over tomorrow. It's going to be a CRAZY couple of weeks. Love y'all dearly!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">P.s: my account reset... So I just added pretty much everyone I knew.... Just email if you don't care about my week and want me to stop haha</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Y'all!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I keep trying to come up with new and creative ways to say my week was awesome, great, etc., but you already know it was! So I'll just get down to brass tacks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday we had district meeting that day and had dinner with a recent convert that night. We basically spent the whole day with the other Elders so, hey, I'm not complaining. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday we said our goodbyes, and I am seriously having withdrawals. I loved those Elders. So just update, both Elder Stanley and Elder Folsom got taken out, so now we are the lone elders in the ward. We had transfers and me and Elder Smith are staying together again! Love it. And the area. Life is so good y'all. I can't even express via email how much I love what I do. I'm pretty much over "new" experiences so now I can just do what I know how to do best, share the gospel. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thursday we had another district meeting with our new district leader, Elder Knight. He is a Spanish missionary and he is going to do awesome. I'm really excited for him. But yeah our week was good. Love y'all!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Y'all! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sorry for the super lame e-mail last week... Anyways. This week! It was crazy. On Monday it POURED. We got a tropical storm and we knocked some doors in the pouring rain. It was great and we were soaking wet. We knocked on this one lady's door and she let us in and we a taught her and her daughter and they loved it. They even sent us off with some barbecue chicken and cake to take home. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday we drove down to Chiefland and had district meeting down there. It was great and a good experience. We drove back to Gainesville and had tradeoffs with the Second Ward Elders, Elder Fadely (a district leader) and Elder Arave. I went with Elder Arave and he is the most humble man on the face of the earth. I love him. We biked super hard and had such a blast. And taught tons of people. It was great.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We got up Wednesday morning, went to the first part of another district meeting and had to takeoff for Jacksonville to go on tradeoffs with the AP's and I got to go with Elder Coy. Y'all. It's like the best thing in the world to go on tradeoffs with an old companion. We spent like the whole time reminiscing and Just teaching up a storm. It was great. It was crazy to see how much both of us have changed since almost a year ago. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We drove back early Thursday morning and came to our district meeting. It was great and the trainings were incredible. We went to work after and taught a ton of people. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On Friday we went out to Emmanuel's trailer park and took him out with us. It was once again pouring rain and we dragged that poor kid through it all and we all ended up soaked by the end of it. But it was a blast.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Saturday was awesome. We just had an all around good day. We accidentally ended up spending almost 2 hrs at Sheila's because as we got there she was leaving and said she would be right back in like 10-15 minutes. So we taught her granddaughter Destiny, who's about 17, and then Sheila ended up taking forever.... But it was great. We had a good lesson with her and </span><span style="font-size: large;">yesterday </span><span style="font-size: large;">she came to church for the third time in a row ! She should be getting dunked in the next couple weeks. I'll keep you posted. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of my favorite quotes from church yesterday. "Socialism is important" (he meant to say socializing... Over the pulpit in sacrament meeting. Don't worry he corrected himself) "My knees are fiddin to get a workout" and "do you think Mormon was like, oh crap! Dang it, there's no white out! Oh well..." (Talking about Alma 24:19 with the weapons of peace) it was way hilarious. Anyways! Have a good week! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Hey Y'all! This week was super great! But seriously it's been crazy. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Last P-day and Monday we spent in Ocala because we had to do a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">baptismal interview for Elder Boyson. So we went down and had a super </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">fun p-day, played soccer, basketball,etc. At night we had the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">interview and Elder Smith did it, so I talked with Elder Boyson and Elder </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Moreno for like and hour and half. Longest interview ever. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">already like 8/8:30 ish when we got back home so we only had time for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">one lesson. I went with Elder Moreno and he is still relatively new so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">we totally got lost....BUT we said a prayer went one way and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">eventually ended up where we needed to be! It was awesome and we had a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">good lesson. So we spent the night and went to Ocala's District Meeting </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">the next day. It was way awesome and we had such a good time. So we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">drove back, had a good rest of the day, and we taught Book of Mormon </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">class that night. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The next day we had our District Meeting and I had a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">trade-off with Elder Stanley and biked our tails off riding around </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">town.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The next day we also had Elder Fadely's District Meeting here in </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">G'ville as well. The spirit was Definetely felt and we all had a good </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">time. We all went out to Sam's Club for lunch (I didn't even know you </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">could do that) and I got insane amounts of food for super cheap.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Friday, we did some service with a member and we moved a bunch of wood </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">and cleaned out their pool. Saturday </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">was pretty amazing too. We hit </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">all our daily goals and had some killer lessons. We were just biking </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">along and this guy stands up and stops US and ask us if we are from the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">5th ward and of course we say yes, and he starts going on about how he </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">used to take the lessons and how he needs the church in his life. And </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">he ended up coming to church yesterday and wants to get baptized! Woo! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We are totally going to dunk him. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">And one of our gators, Sheila, I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">threw down on Thursday</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> in a lesson and basically said if she doesn't </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">start coming to church EVERY week, we would have to stop seeing her. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">And. She. Came! It was so awesome and she loved it. I'm so happy for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">her! Here's to another great week! The first picture is from P-day in </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Ocala, and the second is Elder Folsom and Elder Stanley taking tons of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">photos on my iPad. Also I've been super in love with this video this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">week from the addiction recovery program, makes me tear up like every </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">time. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Y'all!</span></div>
<div class="a3s aXjCH m154de295e35cdfbe" id=":po" style="overflow: hidden;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />This week has been really good. Hmm. Really good things that happened this week... We had a really powerful Zone Conference on Thursday and learned a lot about different things. The church just came out with new pamphlets for the laws and ordinances lessons so those are super fun to use. I love it because I just freestyle it and don't have to worry about getting stuck in a teaching rut because there isn't even one existing. </span></div>
<div class="a3s aXjCH m154de295e35cdfbe" id=":po" style="overflow: hidden;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="a3s aXjCH m154de295e35cdfbe" id=":po" style="overflow: hidden;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We had our trade-off with Elder Boyson and Elder Moreno this week. I went with Elder Moreno and we spent basically the whole day in the ghetto (75%) of our area. We had a good time though and met some good people. It gets really hard to judge what's a lesson and what's not because people will listen to you all day and even agree but they just don't go anywhere or do anything. Very disorienting. </span></div>
<div class="a3s aXjCH m154de295e35cdfbe" id=":po" style="overflow: hidden;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="a3s aXjCH m154de295e35cdfbe" id=":po" style="overflow: hidden;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Saturday we had a killer miracle with this lady we are teaching named Mel. We came over and she said she was a having a really crappy day and starts going on about the fact that she doesn't know why she's here and doesn't really want to live and we had a super powerful lesson about me and Elder Smith's conversion to the gospel and the plan of salvation and she had a piano and Elder Smith started playing hymns and she said she could really feel the spirit.</span></div>
<div class="a3s aXjCH m154de295e35cdfbe" id=":po" style="overflow: hidden;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="a3s aXjCH m154de295e35cdfbe" id=":po" style="overflow: hidden;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We also saw Emmanuel that night and talked to him about serving a mission. He is honestly one of the most kindhearted charitable people I've ever met. I love that boy! I hope he serves. </span></div>
<div class="a3s aXjCH m154de295e35cdfbe" id=":po" style="overflow: hidden;">

<div class="a3s aXjCH m154de295e35cdfbe" id=":po" style="overflow: hidden;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But Sunday was good. We had dinner with the Ures after church and it was way fun. Bro. Ure reminds me a ton of Stuart and he asked Elder Smith and Elder Folsom what their most embarrassing stories were and it was way funny. </span></div>
<div class="a3s aXjCH m154de295e35cdfbe" id=":po" style="overflow: hidden;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="a3s aXjCH m154de295e35cdfbe" id=":po" style="overflow: hidden;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good 2 weeks. We've been teaching monster amounts of people by the grace of God. Like 27 total lessons the past two weeks! I love Gainesville.... I guess I have too if I've served here twice. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Hey Y'all!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This week was way good. Not a whole lot of special events went on, so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">we had a ton of time to teach this week. We did have a Zone Meeting on </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Wednesday and it went amazing. It was really good, we set a Zone goal </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">and had a bunch of good trainings. My training was called, "This </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">mission is on fire!" And it was basically like a pump up speech to get </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">people excited, and apparently something worked, because our Zone </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">killed it this week! It was really good. Makes me love what I do on </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">weeks like this.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I had a really good Trade-off with Elder Foust and we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">taught about a billion people. Everyone just decided to be home that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">day so it was pretty great and we ended up teaching most of the day. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">We also had a detour to go give a blessing at the VA.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Yesterday we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">had this investigator Josh come to church and it was awesome! The Ward </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">fellowshipped him SO good. First time he had come to church in 2 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">years. It did wonders for him and he is progressing super well.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">In </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">other news we had a freak rainstorm and Elder Smith told me to take a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">picture of him while I was backing out the car... So I did :) </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Hey Y'all!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This week has been good. Full of change and craziness, but good. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Monday we said our goodbyes by playing warrior ball for about 3 hours. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I'm still sore from it... </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Tuesday we had our very last district </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">meeting before Elder Ward left. He got called to be a Zone Leader, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">he'll do awesome. So after we got a call from the Spanish Elders, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Elder Hopkins and Breitenbeker saying they were in Gainesville and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">wanted a Trade-off so we went on spots with them. Elder Vance said </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">goodbye to a ton of people and me and Hopkins taught in the ghetto. We </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">spent like 2 1/2 hours in a .1 mile stretch just teaching everybody. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It was awesome. Elder Hopkins left the zone and I will dearly miss </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">him. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Wednesday we had transfers and it was pure chaos. Especially when </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">you are zone leader and are responsible for making sure is everybody </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">is getting where they need to be o time. So me and Elder Stanley </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">worked together for a little while. Elder Smith and Elder Folsom (E. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Stanley's new comp) finally made it here and we got off to work. We </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">taught a few people that night and went to dinner at the Jack's. We had </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">hot dogs as per the usual. It was awesome. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">On Thursday we went to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Elder Fadely's District Meeting. It was pretty good, and we all wrote </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">up on the board what we were willing to put on the altar of sacrifice </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">to see miracles (mine is Dr. Pepper if you didn't already guess...) I</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">t's going to be rough month... But anyways we had service with the D</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">istrict afterwards and cleaned out this lady's pool, all the gunk at </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">the bottom and we bleached the whole thing. Elder Duggins paid a visit </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">too! He was in the mission a few months ago and came back to visit! It </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">was great! Afterwards we had dinner with a member and Elder's Quorum </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">trade-offs. Trade-offs were super terrible. No one was home and we tried </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">like 6 different usually solid people.... Ugh. But yeah, on Friday </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">we, or rather I weekly planned. That's usually how it goes 1st week </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">though. We had an amazing night that night and taught 2 of our main </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">investigators with a member and we set a date with Kyle! He's one of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">my favorite people right now.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Saturday we had a killer busy day we had </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">appointments all day. We taught the Grants and tracted out in the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">boonies. We found this awesome lady Mel, who's in her 50's, and has 2 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">kids. She should be coming to church this week.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">And yesterday I got to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">call home! It was so good to see all of your faces! Other than that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">it was a Really slow day. We did teach the granddaughter (9) of one of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">our investigators. She was WAY funny. This other kid was being a punk </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">to her and she says this, "Hey! When I get my car, when I get my car, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">NO, when I get my cute little moped, I'm gonna run you over! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Okay?!" </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But yeah, good week.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Elder Toolson</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Y'all!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> First off, transfers have struck again.... I'm getting a new ZL companion. His name is Elder Parker Smith. This will be my second Elder Smith companion. Super sad to lose Elder Vance but he gets to go up to Georgia. There were TONS of switches in my zone this transfer so it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. In all we have 23 companionships in the zone (46 missionaries). We have 4 districts, with 2 here in Gainesville, one in Chiefland and one in Ocala. But I'm really excited for this transfer! A lot of good thngs are happening.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday this week we went to MLC (Mission Leadership Council) and got our new focuses for the mission. It was awesome. Really good experience. We had our Trade-off with the AP's after and I went with Elder Beard and we had a super fun time. We taught some people, ate some dinner and set a baptismal date with someone too! We also got harmonicas from a recent convert.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We had to wake up at 5 on Wednesday to go help out with seminary (we ended up just sitting there and eating donuts...) we played tennis with some others elders and I got to see Elder Coy again! Gotta love those reunions. We traveled back and went straight to district meeting and I gave a training about the Holy Ghost in our teaching. It went pretty good.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We had a pretty average rest of the week. We knocked into a gay guy, who was super hilarious and he asked if I wanted water and I said yeah, so he comes out with a regular kitchen cup and tells me to keep it.... So I was walking around the rest of our knocking time with a cup in my hand... And then pretty much the only other noteworthy thing is we knocked on this door looking for a potential investigator and found this guy who had just moved here. He had been taking the lessons for 3 years and went to church and everything! He's is gonna get dunked! And yesterday we had a bunch of people in church and a break the fast after! Have a good week. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Tuesday we were supposed </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">to go to a District meeting down in Chiefland but I had a little bit </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">of a detour.... About halfway down to Chiefland I get a call from one </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">of the elders in the district saying that he spilled hydrogen peroxide </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">in his eye (how do you even do that?) SO I had to drive him around ALL </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">day. And Elder Vance got to stay and enjoy district meeting. We called </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">the mission nurse and she said we had to come all the way back to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Gainesville (an hour's drive) for medical treatment. So, long story short I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">ended up driving for about 4 hours that day and spent about 4 hours </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">sitting in the waiting room as well. He burned a hole in his cornea </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">but it's no big deal. It'll get better in a couple of days. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Anyways, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">on Wednesday we had our own district meeting which was amazing, and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">had a Trade-off with the Ocala Elders after. I went with Elder Moreno, </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">a short little Hispanic kid from Provo, UT, and he is HILARIOUS. I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">love this kid! We had a way fun day, and taught tons of people and saw </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">some miracles. I'll attach one of our role plays in the morning haha </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">they were way fun.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Thursday we did some service with Sis. May. We put t</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">his massive fountain in her front yard and dug out a bush and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">replanted it. We drove way out into the Boonies to have dinner with a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">member and had Elders Quorum trade-offs that night. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Friday we weekly </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">planned and had a way good dinner with the Whitakers. We went on mini </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">trade-offs because the other Elders wanted a gauge on how deep the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">conversion is in one of their investigators, so I took Elder Stanley </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">with me for the night and we had a BLAST. It's a good thing we aren't c</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">ompanions or it would just be pure chaos. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Saturday morning we got an </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">emergency call for some service way down in Williston for this company </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">called Farmshare (I might have mentioned it before). We went and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">distributed food from about 10:00 - 12:30 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">and my forearms were screaming </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">for mercy. The bags were somewhere in the range of 50-60 lbs.... We </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">rushed back to Gainesville and interviewed 2 people in the YSA for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">baptism. We had dinner with Sis. Braun that night. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Sunday </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">we had 4 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">'gators at church!!!! Total miracle since we have been in a drought. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">But it was great. We are going to follow up and see if we can set some </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">baptism dates. But yeah, that's my week! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Y'all!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This week has been absolutely ridiculous. Lots of ups and downs and all sorts of other things. Monday was an amzing start to our week. We tried a few people that didn't answer and so we knocked doors. We ended up finding 4 AWESOME new investigators, which never happens. We also found an investigator who has been reading a chapter in the Book of Mormon for the past year and starts off her study every morning with Moroni 10:3-5. It's so awesome. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On Tuesday we went down to Ocala for their District meeting. It was fun and it was good to see everyone! Since we spent a ton of miles to come to Ocala we wanted to stay for a little bit so we went on a "blitz"(a short Trade-off with both me and Elder Vance in their area, like 2-3 hours usually) with some Elders. I went with Elder Stanley (in Ocala, we have a different one serving in Gainesville) and we had a lot of fun and talked about the area. We knocked some doors and talked to some people. I think we realized at the end that we were knocking a retirement community since everyone was way old. So we get done and we head back into town and end up getting back around 6:30. We went out and knocked doors till pretty much the end of the night and found this Asian guy named Tai. Side note: he is the first Asian guy I have taught successfully and gotten a return appointment with! Woo!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday I had trade-offs with Elder Fadely from the 2nd Ward here in Gville. It was super fun and we spent most of our day in the ghetto. We taught some amazing people and had a really awesome lesson with, Sheila, one of our 'gators. We taught a ton of other people and went out to teach Emmanuel and actually took him to come and see a few other investigators. I LOVE taking him out with us. And by the end of the night he said he was actually considering serving a mission. I really hope he decides too. But yeah.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On Thursday we immediately went from one Trade-off to another. We weekly planned and then had our trade-off with Elder Ward and Elder Stanely. I went with Elder Ward and we ended up tracting in this super ghetto neighborhood. Elder Ward is a fantastic Elder and I can see him becoming a zone leader very soon. But it was way fun! We talked to some crazy people.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Friday we did service for Sis. Harding and I spread some mulch and cleaned out some gutters. She gave us some cards to get free meals at the Red Onion--this super swanky restaurant in town that she owns.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Saturday was killer. We taught 7 people! In one day. It was awesome. We played basketball in da hood, with Emmanuel and a bunch of his friends. I held my own, but they were pretty good haha.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sunday was the WORST. And the best, it was a weird, very emotionally taxing day. We had absolutely no one at church. Not. A living. Soul. And we had like 10 lined up to come and 2 rides set up but it just all epic failed. So please pray that we will get someone in church this week because we NEED it. I left church early with about 10 others from the Ward and went to this place called Takachale. It's a mental health institution and we put on a church service for them. We Sang like 8 songs and I gave a 5 min. "Jesus loves you" kind of talk. It was fun and quite different to have everyone start clapping after everything and just shouting out the most random things while you are speaking/singing. After church we ate dinner, and went to a recent convert's patriarchal blessing. The spirit is unbelievable inside a patriarch's home. Afterwards we went to Sis. Bruggeman's house with Bishop to give her a blessing. Afterwards we tried tons of people but no luck. We did end up running into a less active member and taught her and her kids. But yeah! That's my week! Love y'all!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Y'all!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This week has been pretty good! Monday we had a golden hour way out in </span><span style="font-size: large;">the boonies of our area and found two really awesome people that day. We </span><span style="font-size: large;">biked ALL day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday we had a really, really good day. We had zone </span><span style="font-size: large;">meeting and I gave a training on how to change your mission based off </span><span style="font-size: large;">of this talk by a navy admiral. It was way good. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Friday we had weekly </span><span style="font-size: large;">planning and we taught this lady who had a picture of black Jesus. So </span><span style="font-size: large;">of course I had to take a picture. We had stake conference this </span><span style="font-size: large;">weekend. It was way good. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyways, we are about to go play soccer, and </span><span style="font-size: large;">my desire to write is lessening by the week haha. I'll do my best to </span><span style="font-size: large;">write a longer one next week! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In other news, a while back I made </span><span style="font-size: large;">t-shirts for my district in Fleming Island and they FINALLY got in. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The picture makes me look way skinny but I promise I ain't that </span><span style="font-size: large;">skinny.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Y'all!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> This week has been good. Very long, but good. Lots of people were </span><span style="font-size: large;">gone (Spring Break and Easter combined) but we had some good days.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Monday we went out with our Ward Mission Leader Brother Davis and saw </span><span style="font-size: large;">one of my favorite investigators, Shiela. We had an awesome lesson and </span><span style="font-size: large;">afterwards went to go see another man Darnell. We were about to drop </span><span style="font-size: large;">him but we just talked to him about why he listened when we knocked on his </span><span style="font-size: large;">door when we first met him. It was really awesome to see him realize </span><span style="font-size: large;">that God wanted to give him a message that we had to share and he is </span><span style="font-size: large;">starting to progress again!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday we had district meeting which was </span><span style="font-size: large;">awesome, I learned a lot and it was way good. We went to Taco Bell </span><span style="font-size: large;">after since I had a gift card (thanks dad) and had scripture study </span><span style="font-size: large;">class that night. It was way awkward since no one else was using the </span><span style="font-size: large;">building because of spring break so it was literally just us teaching </span><span style="font-size: large;">and two others there. But hey I'm sure they learned something haha. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday we spent an insane amount of miles. We went and picked up </span><span style="font-size: large;">Elder Fadelys (in 2nd Ward) and took him to some other Elders for </span><span style="font-size: large;">transfers. We carried on and got an emergency call from the 2nd Ward S</span><span style="font-size: large;">isters since they had flat tire and no way to fix it. So we ran them </span><span style="font-size: large;">over a patch for their tire. We went out to our recent convert, </span><span style="font-size: large;">Emmanuel's house, and played basketball with him and a couple of his </span><span style="font-size: large;">friends. We had the idea to make it a regular thing. It's mega fun and </span><span style="font-size: large;">we could probably start teaching some of his friends if we want too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thursday was pretty average we biked all day (like 35 miles) and had </span><span style="font-size: large;">Brandon come out teaching with us to go see Sheila. Friday was pretty </span><span style="font-size: large;">boring. We had weekly planning and went and saw some people.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Saturday </span><span style="font-size: large;">was another LONG Biking day. Nothing really happened and not a lot of </span><span style="font-size: large;">people were home. Sunday was awesome though! We had Easter and 3 </span><span style="font-size: large;">investigators in church. After church the Aires invited us over and we </span><span style="font-size: large;">had an Easter dinner with them. They are awesome! And it rained that </span><span style="font-size: large;">night so we had the pleasure of biking in the rain. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That's my week!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Love y'all!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Y'all!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Sorry I didn't write last week.... I spent most of my P-day at a cook out and the email I did write up accidentally got deleted sooo.... Yeah! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyways Monday night we had sort of a continuation of our trade off with Elder Peterson and Elder King. I was still with Elder Peterson and we went out to this trailer Emmanuel lives in. We knocked doors and found a couple of awesome people. We also taught Emmanuel that night and it was awesome. Me and Elder Peterson had tons of fun. It was pure craziness, and I totally made a red velvet cake that night. It was great! But sadly he is leaving my zone... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday it rained all day and both me and Elder Vance were WIPED. I think the picture below says it all. We had Book of Mormon class that night and Eric one of investigators came! It was a miracle and it was awesome.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">On Wednesday President Craig came for interviews here in Gville and it was great. Interviews were way long this time but it was great. It was about 4-5 hours of interviews but it was great! Thursday we did service for this guy named Pete in the 3rd Ward. He is an investigator who totally just uses the missionaries for service, but hey he isn't my investigator. He was a slave driver haha. He was just shouting the whole time at us to keep working. He was hilarious though and he bought us all pizza at the end of it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Friday was pretty good too. We went and saw Emmanuel and taught him a lesson and also saw some investigators, Matt and Jen, and we got a chili recipe from them as well as some ingredients to make some for the cook off on Saturday. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Saturday it rained all day too but it cleared up in time for the Ward chili cook off. We made our very own chili for it! It was way fun and we came in like 6th, BUT the moral of the story is that our chili wasn't the worst. At the end of it all, all of the dads got all of their kids up on their heads and decided to race. So naturally the Elders wanted to join in too. So I hopped up on top of Elder Vance's shoulders and Elder Stanley (who is 6'7") hopped up on top of Elder Ward (who is 5'5"). It was awesome. I wish I had a picture. But as we raced Elders Stanley and Ward just absolutely ATE it. I was in tears and the whole Ward was dying laughing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sunday we had our investigator Eric and his 2 kids come to church!! It was so great. And we had a less active fellowship him! Sunday was good and we found the most elect man ever. It was this guy named John that was sitting in his car. And after we talked to him his mouth just kept hanging open in shock. He had his very own Book of Mormon and he kept saying goodbye over and over "I'll DEFINETELY read this!" And we saw him reading it as we walked away. GOOD week. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Love Y'all!</span><br />
