This Week!

Hey everybody!! I don't have a lot of time but it is ok because not a whole lot happened this week! haha :)
 
So this week, Elder Williams, a missionary that lives in our apartment, told us about an apple challenge. You eat nothing but apples and drink nothing but water for 3 days! It is supposed to cleanse your skin and clean you out or something? I don't know it was a bad idea though! haha :) We started Tuesday morning and made it to Tuesday night! hahaha! it sucked!! We didn't really get that hungry, we just craved real food. And I was on an exchange with another Elder and he was cooking up some really good food! :) So we all talked and decided to call it quits! haha :) It was a fun memory though! And I was on an exchange! Haha perks of the district leader life! 
 
We met a cool guy that we will start working with at a baptism! He is cool! There was also another guy who just showed up at church! He is a member but his girlfriend isn't! Hoping to start teaching them! That would be great! :) Other than that nothing much happened! My computer is counting down the seconds now though until it shuts off. But I love you all and I appreciate you! :) Thank you!! Have an amazing week! Study your scriptures! :)

Hola Senors and Senoritas

Hello everyone!! 
 
Haha! I don't have much time for the long emails! Like I said in other emails we are now limited to one iPad per companionship with no emails on the iPads so I have to read and write in the same 90 minutes! I know that seems so hard! But Hey! It's a first for me! haha :) 
 
So like I said, I am doing some adjusting to the iPad thing but it is still going really well! I actually really like it because I am now using my paper scriptures and everything which has been a great experience! It is not very fun having to ride my bike with my scriptures in the bag so I am thankful that we are able to drive our car most of the time! :) 
 
Our teaching is a little low right now but that isn't stopping Elder Lake and I! We are still doing everything we can to keep on moving forward! haha :) Just keep being obedient and talking to people and seeing members! That's basically all we can do! And so that's what we are doing! Who knows though! Going back to paper a little bit maybe we will start tracting now too! haha! :) 
 
This week we didn't have a lot of teaching to do so it was a lot of what I said just barely. Biking and talking to everyone and seeing members! haha But on the exact opposite of the whole biking thing.. Elder Lake and I got a new car! We now drive a 2015 Chevy Cruze! Oh baby does she ride smooth! hahaha :) One fun thing we did this week that I remember was we got to go watch a basketball game! That was a lot of fun!! :) I really enjoyed that!! :) Hopefully we will be able to go see a few more games before the season is over. Then Baseball will really be in season and we will go watch some baseball games! haha :) 
 
I am doing well! I am happy! And working hard! Thank you for all of your support and love! :) Have a great week! OH! And happy almost year mark to Hermana Terry! Right? :)

Week 23 - Week 21 in Palm Harbor

Hey Everyone! I hope you had a great week!! :) It was pretty good for me!! 
 
This week we had some fun stuff going on! Tuesday we went to Tarpon Springs because the Greeks have this thing called the Epiphany and basically it is a bunch of stuff leading up to a bunch of young men jumping in the Spring Bayou looking for a cross! So it's a little lake thing that they jump in! Whoever gets it gets luck for the family for a year or something cool like that! :) haha So that was pretty fun to watch!! 
 
Wednesday I had to do an exchange with some Elders to do my first baptismal interview!! hahaha! That was pretty fun! It was an old 70 something year old lady with blue hair! She was pretty awesome though and has a pretty amazing testimony!! 
 
Thursday through Saturday Elder Lake and I were in Tampa for trainings on life skills and fun stuff like that! :) Learned how to interact with people, how to sit, how to look good, and then they trained us on working with Members! Members are supposed to do basically all of the finding in case you didn't know. Read PMG! It says it right in there! 
 
This morning we was tough though.. Last night we were texting an investigator that has been super solid. We were reminding him to read and pray about being baptized on the 7th of February. He said ok. But this morning he texted us a big long text saying he had a dream that he would lose all of his friends and a bunch of other stuff and he doesn't want to be baptized. So that was tough but I know his seed is planted and he will be ready sometime! 
 
Yesterday we also got locked out of our apartment! Just in case you are ever in Palm Harbor and are trying to break into our apartment. Forget it! It's impossible! haha! :) Just a few words of advice. Thankfully the other Elders we live with were able to come home and let us in later that night! :) So it's all good!
 
Hope you all are having a great time! :) I love you all!!

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone! I hope you all were able to enjoy your holidays!! It is now 2015! Look at the time go! I'm sure you all have some fantastic resolutions that I hope you will be able to accomplish! :) One word of advice. Have a plan to back up your goal. If all you have is a goal you probably won't succeed. :) 
 
This week was pretty fun! Not too much went on.. Except we met some pretty cool homeless guys! haha :) And a drunk guy.. Tarpon Springs is a good place to hang out if you want to have a fun experience! haha OH! And we met a lady that was higher than a kite! She made sure to tell us not to check her out as we were biking away!! hahaha :) 
 
On the more spiritual note. We had a great time serving this week. We finally had an investigator at church again! Patrick! We met him back in November and we have been seeing him every once and a while but he finally came to church! Thank you all for your prayers! 
 
I am sorry I don't have much more to talk about.. I have a hard time remembering everything that happens! Weeks blend together. It is weird.. OH! For those that know me really well... I quit soda! So that is nice! I'm sure I will get back on it when I get home and I have Stage Stop again but as for now I don't do that soda stuff! :) I could use your prayers! ;) 
 
Thanks for everything! I love you all! Have a great week!
