So...we moved! Most time
consuming thing ever and we still aren't done. We still have
to clean and scrub the other old apartment now.
New Address:
11500 N. Dale Mabry #1308
Tampa, FL 33618
So
there ya go! We should be here for a while. Oh! So we were packing up
everything on Tuesday when Elder Casey (AP) gives us a call asking for
Elder Fitzner. There was an Elder down south in Imokalee that was a
"visa waiter" who was...waiting for his visa to go to Colombia or
something, and he got it early! So Elder Fitzner was called to go and
take his spot there in three days (last Friday). So it is now only me
and Elder Rodriguez! I'm straight up "killing" this guy by myself! He
goes home after the next transfer, which starts next week. Transfer
calls are on Saturday, but I'm staying here.
So
last Saturday was a baptism!! For the Hermanas in our ward, but it's still a baptism! And it was on the beach! And guess who
baptized him?? A guy in the ward.....but guess who witnessed and had to
enter the water waist high??? Me and Rod! Woohoo! Got to go in the
water and witness a baptism of a solid guy. He's straight
up future leader. Way cool guy. It was a way foggy day and right after it poured rain!
Blessing? Uh yes.
For us basically the whole last transfer has been
laying a foundation, getting to know our area and all the members and
establishing relationships and gaining trust and everything. Now in this
transfer it's the big push to try to get the giant snowball rolling!
But once it gets rolling it's gonna go straight up a million miles per
hour! So there's a lot of good stuff ahead, we just have to push very
hard to get it started. No baptisms coming up soon, but potential
for sure. I get to talk a lot more
during lessons since there's only two! So that's way nice. I have a lot
more confidence, even though my Spanish is kinda decent right now.
Elder Rod is trying to eat healthy and make himself
look good in the next six weeks before he goes home, so I'm on the ride
with him and I'm gonna try to eat a lot more healthier and buy better
things, and exercise seriously. We'll start two a days ha ha I
don't know! It'll be fun and interesting!
We had a couple of Facebook lessons this week! A
lady straight up told us she only wants to receive the word through
Facebook and text...we're like Great! That's what we do! So we share
certain things with her whenever we're on and leave commitments for her.
She comes to English class on Tuesdays so we can check up and maybe
teach in person there.
Oh and those pics of me on the beach?? I'm a fatty in them! The jeans were way too tight. Fun story! We were
prepping for the baptism and I tried to put on my white temple/baptism
pants......oops! Turns out...I'M FAT! I couldn't fit in my pants! So we had to wear normal pants....which was totally fine. But yeah! So I'm just gonna starve myself! JK but that's why
I'm gonna eat healthier and such this next transfer. Fun stuff missions!
Live Hard,
Love Hard,
Laugh Hard,
