What a blessing it was to see my family and to talk to them! I now only have 2 more skypes home and then I will be done with the mission! The next Skype home I will be already 14 months out!
This week has been good to us here in Florida. It has been getting really hot and Humid and apparently compared to summer it is nothing! Lets just say I hope summer goes by really quick and I don't die of heat exhaustion. This heat hopefully will help us get in some more doors so we can cool off.
We have been separating the wheats from the tares and have been getting a lot of tares lately. We did a lot of street contacting which is fun sometimes and can get old especially in the heat of the day. The Dietz family have been struggling and could use your prayers. Their baptism was originally for this weekend but won't be able to because the kids got Lice this week and so we haven't been able to meet with them. They have their last check up tomorrow and hopefully it is all dead and they will be able to kick it back into gear.
Saturday we were going out to do some finding and we saw a moving truck in our apartment complex so we go over and offer to help them move in. The lady asks "how much will it cost me?" We said nothing. We got to know them a little and they invited us over for dinner and they cooked a great meal for us. You know that classic question that everyone asks missionaries, what is the most odd thing you ate on your mission? this meal has it beat so far! Ox tail meat soup. It was delicious. We now are really great friends with them and they said anytime we want food we can go over there and they will cook something for us. She also had a Corvette that she has and I got to sit in it and turn it on! They aren't that interested in coming to church or anything but we have a great friendship with them and thats what I came on the mission to do.
Here are some fun pics that we took just because.
I am thankful for my family. Something that my Mom said that hit me is that we have this Gospel and the hope that people search for that families can be together forever. Our job is to bring families together and bring that hope to them. That is truly what I hope to do.
Love you all!!
