This week wasn't terribly crazy. We haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary. We are still in the process of changing everything in this area so that is kinda crazy. The work on the west coast is pretty slow here in Florida. We don't find very often (because this is the "rich old white people" part of Florida) so we mostly knock big communities. Every once and a while, though, we will find a nice pocket of humble people, which is always super nice! We found a really cool guy yesterday, and we are going to go back and teach him tonight so keep him and his family in your prayers this week.
For our P-day activity today [P-day = Preparation Day: the day missionaries attend to all of their personal affairs such as letters, laundry, grocery shopping, etc.] we are doing the Copa Naples with our zone (a two on two soccer tournament) which is going to be pretty dang fun.
In the evenings we get up on our roof a lot. We live with the Creole elders and we all get along pretty much perfectly, which is a blessing. We always "pover" (sleepover) in the front room and talk about life and stuff...especially because Elder Prince (our District Leader) is going home this transfer and he is scared out of his mind...so we talk with him a lot.
It's rough not finding very many people here considering my first two transfers were just FULL of lessons and investigators and such, but I know that as I keep doing what the Lord wants me to do and keep trying my best to improve that He will help me and the people in this area as well. Missionary work is hard and stressful but is fulfilling at the same time and I love it with all of my heart. The Church is true. I wouldn't still be in Florida doing this if it weren't worth the cost.
Love you all
