So yes this week is transfer week and......I'm staying! So is my companion. I am glad that we are going to be together for at least another transfer, I feel like 6 weeks is too short to be with a companion, but I am looking forward to what this next transfer brings! We had 2 missionaries go home this week, one due to illness and one due to home sickness. My last companion Elder Ashcraft who was my district leader is now being transferred and one of my zone leaders is being transferred as well. So we are going to be having some big changes this week. I love transfers though, it's always exciting to see new missionaries and get to know them. There are 18 more missionaries coming in this transfer and nobody is going home, so there might be a few new areas opening up, we will see what happens.
Anyways this week has been pretty good. We were on bikes this week and for some reason it seems to be more tiring than the last few weeks. It has been really hot and humid lately, I guess the hottest times are in August and September, good thing September is almost through! It has been raining quite a bit at night this week, we have gotten stuck in the rain a few times right before we have to head home. We try to wait out the rain because it usually doesn't last very long but it wasn't letting up these couple nights, so we ended up biking home in the pouring rain to make it home on time. We got pretty drenched haha, it was actually kind of fun. You just got to be careful with the lightning, I guess Florida is known as the lightning capitol of the world, and I definitely believe that. The lightning here is nuts.
Well I think I told you all about Tiffany and Tony a little while ago, they are the family of 4 that we has a super awesome lesson with. They have been rescheduling with us over and over again so we just decided to stop by. It went really well! we were able to meet with their whole family and have a really good lesson. They really have been busy, but are committed to acting on our message. They really like us and they were telling us that they felt something really string the first time we met with them, they just felt peaceful all that day. We were able to help them understand that that was the spirit. They are now super excited, they started to pray every morning together and read from the Book of Mormon. Its great! We also met some other cool people this week, we met a guy named Greg that has a family of 5 that we were able to set a baptism date with and we met a guy named Ronnie on the side of the road as we were biking that we also set a date with. There is some amazing stuff happening in our area!
Missionary work makes me happier than anything else in the world. I am so glad to be serving. It is the best decision I have ever made. I am soon approaching my year mark, then it will be a downward spiral from there! I can't wait for the next year, I am glad that I have at least that long left. I hope you all have a great week and stay true to what you believe in. I love you all!
