Hey everyone! 

        This week has been crazy busy. Now that we have all of the other Elders investigators we have to try and fit them into the schedule and it has been kinda hard. We have had to reschedule with some people just because we didn't have enough time to meet with them. I think we are in the 60's for lessons taught this past week. We are doing really well in our area. We should have two baptisms Easter weekend if everything goes as planned.  I am really excited for that. It is this guy named Miles and his two kids that we have been working with. He is a member but has been really less active for a while. We have been helping him overcome his smoking addiction so that he can baptize his two kids. So far he has not smoked in about three weeks, he is doing so good! It was so cool to see that change in his life and he definitely notices a big difference. He knows that he was only able to do it with the help of the Lord. It is an exciting time for them. 

        So this week has been better than last week with the whole trio thing. We are starting to get along better. I do hate sharing my bathroom with him though...it is a tiny bathroom! People have been giving us way too much food lately, we are going to have to throw like half of it away because we just won’t eat it all before it expires. Our fridge is stalked full, also our pantry. I have gained 5 pounds so far, I hope it keeps going because I need it!! 

         So we were driving to a lesson with our ward mission leader and it was dark out. We were driving on a pretty busy road and all of a sudden we see a possum coming across the road. We tried to miss it but I think the swerving did just the opposite, we nailed that thing haha! It was kinda sad but I couldn't help but laugh. We see them pretty often here, and turtles crossing the road, they are really slow haha. Florida is definitely a unique place. 

          Today we went to a member’s house and we cut open some geodes that he gave us. They look pretty cool, I'll send some pictures. Well I hope that you all have a really good week, I love you all!! 

Love your favorite Elder, Elder Hudson ;)
