Hey everyone!
This has been a crazy week! Since I found out I was getting transferred we went around to a few people so I could say goodbye to them. I love the people that I met in Lakeland. I definitely made some good friendships there. I'm gonna miss it there, but I'm also looking forward to serving here in Palm Harbor. I left Wednesday morning and we headed to the mission office in Tampa so I could meet my new companion and get our car and everything. My companion is Elder Kennelly. He served in Gibsonia which is right above Lakeland when I was there so we know each other pretty good already. He's awesome, we have a good companionship already. When we got to Palm Harbor we found our apartment and got everything in. Since we are opening another area here we are starting completely fresh with no investigators or anything. There used to be sisters in the apartment we are in a while ago. There wasn't hardly any food when we got here and we are both broke so we had to survive off of the freezer burnt food that was left here. Luckily we were able to buy some food today haha. We have been visiting a lot of the members and getting to know them. We really want
to build trust with them and work with them. This is a great ward, they are very missionary minded. There's also a lot of young families and youth. So that's good. We will be taking the young men out with us quite often. They actually want to come out with us, which is pretty cool.
We have been doing some tracting too this week and we had a cool experience. We were knocking doors at an apartment complex and we met a family who was taught before by the missionaries. They were super
excited to see us, especially the mom. They don't know why the Sisters stopped coming, but they wanted to continue the lessons. So we will be going by Friday to teach them! Miracles happen when you have the
faith.
We were planning on going to the beach today, but it started to rain and it hasn't stopped so we will probably just go next week. We are still trying to get to know the area. We actually live outside the area about 3 miles. And the church is 16 miles away. So that's gonna be tough, but we will make it work. I'm really looking forward to this transfer. I have a good feeling about it. So it's been fun and exciting, also a little overwhelming but we're pushing along. I hope you're all doing great. Pray for the people in Texas, they need it. I
love you all and hope you have a great week!
