Twinkle toes

 Well, another week here in Carrollwood! 

We played some pickleball on Monday (for all those who play, you know who you are, bring it on, pickle ball is now my sport) and since we were staying, not a ton of stress went on, so twas good. 

-We got to help out with transfers and direct everyone to be socially distant and said hi/bye to all the missionaries in the zone and those who are going home, it's so sad, so bitter sweet. 

-WE SET OUR FRIEND ANGELA ON BAPTISMAL DATE!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!! SHE'S AWESOME!! 

-We met the new STLs (the other 2 finished their movies) and they're beast! We're going to kill it this transfer in the Tampa Zone!

-We got in contact with our friend George! We're getting him connected with ARP classes, everyone pray for him, he's struggling with a lot right now.

-We got to spend the afternoon with Elder Makechnie, before he was picked up by his trainers. He jumped straight into contacting, throw him into the line of fire, it was awesome!

-We played soccer and baseball with the Mahana family! That was so much fun. Family sports time. Sister Mahana called me twinkle toes and all I could think about was Avatar. I am Aang. (Iykyk)

-We did service (built a desk) for a pastor named Katherine and she was awesome. She actually wants to learn a lot about the book of mormon, so we're going to do a church tour with her this week!

-We met our friend Tiffani,who grew up in Utah, out of the blue, while knocking on a self-refferal's door. She's super awesome!

-WE HAD 2ND HOUR AT CHURCH THIS SUNDAY! IT WAS SO AWESOME!! And then we had a balloon parade for a 100 year old woman! It was so fun! We just taped balloons to our car and had our whole district there! PARTY TIME!!!! 

This week was amazing, but of course, everything ties back into our Savior Jesus Christ. We must have eyes to see and ears to hear. Russel M Nelson describes in his talk 'Truth.. and more' that truth is not relative but rather our perspective and understanding of truth is perspective. Because of that, our understanding of people only comes from getting to know them, circumstances, and what they care for. We must have eyes to see who they are and they potential they have. Each person is a child of God (Romans 8:16) and need to be treated as such. Thomas S. Monson, before he passed away said, "We must develop the capacity to see men not as they are at present but as they may become." I invite each of you to strive to see and treat others as Christ would. Remove judgement, and love in all circumstances. I promise you will begin to develop the same love that Christ has asked to have for another (John 15:12)

Ama a toda persona y a toda cosa

Se explotó la carpeta de area.  HAD INTERVIEWS WITH PRESIDENT!!!! Haven't had that happen since I got here, so it was good to talk to him.

HOPPY PASCUAS A TODOS QUE LEEN ESTA CARTA Y LOS DEMAS!!! ESPERO QUE DISFRTUARAN SU FIN DE SEMANA CON LOS PROFETAS Y APOSTOLES!!!!! This week was definitely was an interesting one, where do I start We had interviews this week, but my companion and I didn't get them, because we had to go to Glew for a stake meeting, and the Elders before us went too long. So instead we did some roleplays of the restoration of the gospel, and then the assistants drove us to Glew, where we listened to a big ol stake meeting. We then spent the night with the Glew Elders, ELDER SOSA Y ELDER BLACKHAM!!!!  We had our first english class this week, so that was exciting. I got to teach english to all the people in my district, so that's an exciting time. Let me tell ya, I do not know how to teach english. I'll do my best. Some latinos already speak a lot and others don't know a single word, so you make due. Everyone is ready to learn though! We met our friend Juan Diaz this week. He's absolut...

We had zone conference, and it was powerful! Elder Thacker and I gave a training on being a 'Preach My Gospel' missionary. I loved it! Then President spoke all about the atonement, because that is our central doctrine. EVERYTHING revolves around the atonement, without it, we are lost in our fallen and mortal state.  WE HAD AN AWESOME LESSON WITH ERIC!! IT'S BEEN FOREVER, BUT BISHOP PATEL JOINED IN AND IT WAS POWERFUL. We talked about how sometimes, God only gives us what we need at the moment, and not everything can or wil...
