 Good ol Monday! Today was all about relaxing, oh man, good times! We filmed a juggling video with the sisters, and some good ol lessons! Also, we got on the airforce base, that, was awesome! Unfortunately we're not allowed to take pictures:(, but I got a fantastic haircut, good times! (Got to go on base, so that was super cool) Tuesday we delivered a Book of Mormon to our friend James (he goes by Brother will) he's super cool and wants to know about when he can come to church, so we're getting him connected to our online church (that's right fellas, we're futuristic) We were on exchange with Elder Halls, so me and him drank a whole lot of terere (let me tell ya, mate and terere, are the greatest things ever) and we taught our our friend Sidney! Her and sam told us all about their hamster that died, we were laughing so hard (I promise, there's more humor in there than it sounds)  ZONE CONFERENCE!! Zone conference was aweaome!! We read in Genesis 37, 39-41 and DC...

 Well fellas, we're here, doing another week, so everyone enjoy, as I fill you in on all my adventures here in South Tampa So, our good friend Mark who was all ready to be baptized, actually doesn't live in our area, so we'll zoom into his baptism when the time comes :) The week was awesome though. There was a district v district v district challenge in our zone, of who could teach the most member lessons, and WE WON, THAT'S RIGHT, I WILL NOT LOSE, DANG FLABBIT!!! BRING IT ON, YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!! We taught 42 lessons, so didn't have to do a ton of phone contacting this week, and teaching is the best! Yeet, ya, yeet, ya!! We were helping 2 of the families in our ward move this week, super fun to get out of the house, and enjoy the florida sun, we love heat waves, bring it on! One bought us a hecking giant wawa soda, so that was awesome!!  My email is all over the place this week, but what can ya do, my thoughts are usually all over the place, keeps things exciting h...

Tuesday, we got... 2 NEW ELDERS (just housing them) wished they had stayed, they were awesome! It was Elder Faletoi and Elder Jeppson! And for all you Jordan kids out there, yes, it was the son of Brother Jeppson, our seminary prez! Both were serving in the phillipines, and Elder Faletoi said he knew Graden from his mission!! (Elder Reber, you're famous) And then Abby Gardner from Jordan showed up in our mission, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN TAMPA FLORIDA!! Well, day 2 of Faletoi and Jepson!! Reno and David..

Monday, oh Monday! What a start to the week everybody :) We had a virtual tour with Tina Ruiz, she's the best, a friend serving in the Historic sites mission, so we were taken around the Book of Mormon publication site! Super cool to see all the work that truly went into publishing the first 5000 copies of the Book of Mormon! Played a "how-well-do-you-know-your-companion" game and if this is anything like the wedding game, man, I'm screwed (but Elder Hughes had only been there for 5 days, so that's why we lost, everyone, agree with me) On taco tuesday (unfortunately no tacos) we had an intercambio. We got Elder Halls for the day! Bro Ramirez brought us Chipotle, and we MET KENDALL MOTT!! HER AND HER FAMILY ARE THE BEST!! The mom said she wanted to be active in the church again and then we started to call them out of the blue, GOD IS REAL!! I also learned this day that you can truly tell the difference when you teach with or without love for the people! Christ has ...
