Jellyfish, and spooky spirits

Image
Hello friends and family and I love you all, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  I TOUCHED A JELLYFISH!!  I hope that excites everyone. On monday, we went to the Tampa aquarium #respectthereef. It was super fun, and got to pet sting rays and jellyfish!!  We had exchanges this week!! We got to hang out with the Assistants. I spent the day with Elder LeMone and he is an amazing missionary. We had a virtual temple tour and it was amazing!! I got to speak in Spanish with their friend as well!! We also had exchanges with Elder Banta up in Dade City. We were telling spooky stories about the apartment and then we heard a huge bang. I don't mess with that crap, so I turtled up and fell asleep.  Not a ton of time to write this week, but we were messaging a woman, and she told us to bugger off, my companion responded and said, "Well, before we grow wings and bugger off, why don't you believe in God" so, that's our sass for the week! This week, I was reading through Ether 5-11. A lot of ...

Songs, something inappropriate, and swears :)

 Well, this week was a whole lot of things going on. But, apparently we believe in a sex-craved Jesus, interesting (there's the something inappropriate). That's got everyone's attention (I'll go over that, don't even worry) Monday was awesome, we ended up playing spike ball and basketball forever! The night felt like a ton of lessons fell through, but we did meet with Laura!! She's the best!! On Tuesday, started out the day by changing a flat (not on our car, no te preocupes) and practicing our zone musical number! ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME (I'm just really letting the pipes loose) And I got to do my first baptismal interview! That was so awesome! Andrew was super cool (in YSA) and it's amazing to see how the gospel can and will change lives, completely change people, if they allow it to! Then we exchanged that night! I went to Tampa Spanish A Wednesday!! I got a pumpkin spice shake, real interesting, let me tell ya, but not a lot happened on exchange. ...

Bowling and running out of time

Image
 I don't have a ton of time this week everyone, but twas one heck of a week! We went bowling on monday, and I definitely bowled my best games when I was turned around and throwing it between my legs. So, everyone, if you can't beat me in a game of bowling, you need to pick it up.  We had MLC this week, absolutely amazing! We talked a lot about conversion. How conversion is not a you reach your final destination and stop, but is a continuing, life-long process! It requires diligent effort in building our faith, and turning our hearts to God!!  We also had some awesome miracles! Our friend freddy is out of the hospital!! Our friend Laura came to church and LOVED IT!! SHE'S SO EXCITED FOR HER BAPTISM!! YEEEEEHAAAAWWW!!! And we found a friend, named Monica, through a Facebook Ad. On out first visit, SHE ACCEPTED A DATE TO BE BAPTIZED!!! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! ALSO, I FINALLY GOT THE CHANCE TO GO TO CHURCH IN PERSON!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Took a whole fat minute, but...

Week 19 in Tampa (#1 in Carrollwood)

Image
Well, this week was a blur. There's so many new things I've learned this week, pretty sure I'm back in my training, my eyeballs are real tired, but GRIND LIFE, YEEHAW!!!!!! Elder Memmott's last p-day definitely wasn't the most exciting one, but we had to get everything organized, and I was packing the whole time (we love transfers). I had to say bye to the Guerrero family :(, but it's all good, they wished me luck in Carrollwood! CARROLLWOOD IS AWESOME!! Elder Jacobs and Elder Thacker are HILARIOUS!! They have so much energy, I wasn't used to not being the most energetic one. Don't worry fellas, I'm rolling back in, this blazing ball of fire isn't slowing down (that was something, that yes, I decided to type, so I hope you read that and enjoyed it) This week was one of the slower ones, as we were trying to get everything situated with all of the changes in the zone, but I got to meet Laura! She's awesome and wants to be baptized! Right now we...
