Week 1 in the Field

Hiyah family and friends! I hope all is going well! I miss all of your lovely faces, but I am having a blast here!

I've already seen an alligator. Be jealous. It was awesome.

And I've already been bitten by a spider. Don't be jealous of that. It feels like a huge mosquito bite and itches about tens times that.

My companion, Sister Goodman is great. She's one of those people that run around like crazy though and she tires me out! We pack out lunches and dinners and just eat at the church. She was disappointed that we only had 26 lessons this week! 26! But I'd rather be busy, so I don't mind.

Lemme think... It's really hot here. And humid. My hair stopped doing what I want it to when the plane landed. It rains at least once a day, which is actually pretty cool. We had one really good storm already.

I'm in the Brandon stake, Temple Terrace ward, which is itty bitty, and lacking a lot of people. But it's growing. The church building is at the perfect location though; right across the street from USF, a college. So the sidewalks are always busy and we can be those creepy weird missionaries that talk to EVERYONE. I mean it, too. I can't remember half the names and lets not even talk about their faces! But they are such cool people.

We have four investigators with a baptismal date!!! Yay! And there's one that wants to be baptized, but is living with her boyfriend and they've been together for 12 years and she doesn't just want to kick him out. But she comes to church and we visit her all the time. She's a really neat lady.

Okay, that's all I can think of for now. I love you all!

God be with you till we meet again!
