Hey
everyone! This week has been great. We had preparation day on Tuesday this week so that kinda threw
everything off. We had a good day though, We are on car share with the
Clearwater Elders now so we spent the day with them. I caught a snake in their
apartment complex ha! Elder Pruszynski, my last companion, got me doing that.
Don’t worry mom it wasn’t poisonous ;) we have also been on bikes this week.
It’s been good because we have been able to talk to people as we bike. The only
bad part is that we live like 6 miles away from anything so we have been
getting a good workout every day haha. We got stuck in a bad rainstorm on Saturday. We were heading home for
dinner and out of nowhere it just started to downpour. We were soaked! It felt
pretty nice actually because it’s been super hot still. Biking is not too bad!
We have been meeting with John a lot this week. He is the son of the recent
convert who just moved into our ward. We have gone through the first few
lessons with him and he’s really enjoying them. He keeps saying that he wants
to be a Mormon and live the life of a Mormon. He’s awesome! We haven’t been
able to meet with Michael or Vern this week, they have been busy. We met a guy
named Nick who lives by John. He was pretty interested and asked us a lot of
questions about what we believe. We left him with a Book of Mormon and we will
see him again this coming week. Other than that it has been pretty slow this
week. We face a lot of rejection here. It seems like 90% of the people we talk
to “already have Jesus” as they say. So when we find those few people
throughout the week it makes my day.
That’s pretty much it for this week. We are having a zone activity day today so
that should be fun. Oh yeah! I almost forgot, I went on an exchange this week
with Elder Peterson in St. Petersburg. It’s the south part of our zone. It was
awesome! I served around him when I was in Valrico. We met some really cool
people that day though. We met a guy while we were walking around in downtown
who was super cool. We asked him what his name was and he said it really fast
so we asked him again and he said, “Just call me Gator!” Haha it was funny. He
was actually really interested though and asked US for a Book of Mormon. It was
great. So yeah, that’s about it. It’s been a good week, I’m looking forward to
the next one! I love you all and hope you have a great week! My challenge to
you all is to read the Book of Mormon everyday this week.
