Hello Everyone!!!! Hows it going?! 

My address is: 

1250 Mason Terrace #201

Davenport, FL 33896

Now no one has an excuse not to write me!

As I type its pouring rain! Like nothing ive ever seen haha. Everyone says that you can literally see a wall of rain coming when its bad and I can tell now what they mean. This week its supposed to be getting pretty chilly. Chilly as in 40 degrees. Everyone was so shocked at church when the bishop said its supposed to be getting into the 40s hahah

This week was awesome! It went by pretty quick unlike last week! This week we had a lot and got a lot done! We met a ton of new people and taught a lot of lessons. Friday I went on my first of many exchange. I went with an elder Johnston from Idaho and that was super fun. Its just nice going with a new face. We street contacted a ton of people and rode bikes all around the area and the next day my gluets were sore (Missionaries dont say butt). hahah jk. But The district leader had to interview our baptism thats why we had the exchange. The next day we had a family week where there were blow up bounceyhouses for kids and little booths and free food and stuff. It was fun but we were talking to people and getting information for lessons haha. later that day we had our baptism!! My first ever baptism! Ill send some pics of that. Jarsi is his name he is so awesome. He loves helping anyone and everyone. We confirmed him on sunday and guess who got to ordain him to be a priest? thats right this guy i mean Elder! lol Now he is in my line of authority which is way cool. I am going to print off my line and have him in that line.

We had district meeting and we are trying to be more bold with investigators. We invite them to be baptized no later than the second lesson. We have noticed improvement. It solidifies it in their head and they think about everything more. We dont have a date or anything set yet for anyone right now but we should within the next week of some more baptisms. 

I attatched pics of our baptism Jarsi and our bishop who baptized him, he reminds me of Baden haha and then I found this on the sidewalk hopefully someone likes that. JESUS LOVES YOU!!

Im sending some pics of my apartment as well.

Love you all hope everyone has a great week!!!
