So this week has been pretty normal, nothing out of the usual happened. My companion and I have been doing a lot of tracting and we have decided to switch up our finding approach because we are getting tired of tracting everyday. So we have been doing a lot more member missionary work lately. We have been going around to members and less actives and sharing a message with them then asking if they know anybody who we could share our message with. We have seen some great miracles this week from doing this. For example, yesterday we were biking back to the apartment for dinner from a members house and when we got outside their complex we saw a man who was in a wheelchair and he was waving to us. We rode up to him and got talking. He was the funniest old guy you could ever meet. We were able to teach him about the restoration of Christs church and the Book Of Mormon. He was so willing and ready to accept the gospel. We committed him to read the Book Of Mormon and to be baptized when he comes to know its true. We set his date in September. He just popped out of no where! I know that the Lord placed him in our path so that we could have this interaction with him. It was pretty neat.
I got to say, the weather here is pretty crappy right now. The mornings are nice, but when the sun comes up its insanely hot. It is usually in the 90's but with the humidity in feels like 110, and the mosquitoes area always out and they are horrible! Its pretty crazy, I'll put on my 100% deet insect replant and within 15 minutes I've already sweated it all of and the mosquitoes attack. I have never sweated so much in my life just from waking. They like to go for the ears for some reason too...which is extra annoying. That is another reason we have changed our finding approach a bit haha. It is all part of the mission though, there is opposition in all things. There is a lot of interesting bugs here, a lot of spiders too. It is a fun place to live ;)
We have been full bike this week because we ran out of miles on the car. It has been alright though, we have tried to have members to most of our appointments so we don't have to bike. I kind of like riding my bike anyways. My companion and I have been having wheelie competitions, neither of us area very good, but we are getting better haha. It is pretty fun being a missionary, if you make it that way. We went ham-mocking last P-day, I finally got to use my hammock on my mission! I was pretty happy about it. We went to the beach for it, I also got a jar of sand. I feel like since I'm in Apollo Beach I might as well get some Apollo Beach sand. It was a fun day.
Well, that's all for this week. It has been so great serving a mission. It has changed me and has grown my testimony so much. I hope all of you can have missionary opportunities to strengthen your testimony's as well! I love you all and hope your week is great!
