I have a bubbly personality because I drink lots of soda!!!!!

Our new apartment
Hello friends and family! Today has been a little crazy so I'll try to fill you in. So I made it through my first transfer!!!!!! YAAAAYYYYY!! I'm a real missionary!! And I've been one for 2 months now! Oh also I am not transferring but we did move from our house to an apartment out of our area. So our house got sold and we didn't have a place to go and our housing elder has been searching everywhere for a place to go but No one would accept our corporate lease. So they decided to close the north Palm Bay sisters area and put us in their apartment. So we had to haul everything out of our house today! It was insane. We had our elders come and a few ward members. But I like our new place! It smells funny but the fung shui is much better. And the natural lighting is much better too. And that means we're a full car area!!! I guess they thought we were good enough to be the solo Palm Bay sisters. Now we'll only have 2 sets in our zone. 🤤

This week has been pretty hoppin'. We taught 15ish lessons to investigators/less actives/members. It was insane!! We're still going strong with the R- family. J-, R-' s partner expressed interest in getting baptized! He has stopped sleeping at their house so R- can live the law of chastity, he's reading the Book of Mormon and he hasn't smoked for 2 weeks. And they are planning on getting married this week so they can get baptized together! And her 2 middle daughters (both young women age) said they are thinking about being baptized too. Ahhh!! 7 down 2 to go!! ( ok the 2 youngest aren't accountable yet but they want to be baptized too) so please pray for their family that nothing crazy happens. They need some good luck in their life . 

Our other investigators are coming a long. We've been teaching P- consistently. We gave her some dresses we found at a yard sale because she said she didn't have any. She doesn't really understand why we ask her to do things. I think she thinks she's just casually learning about God. But she said if she likes it she'll get baptized. 

O- and M- have been difficult because they both speak Spanish and are Catholic. We've had to have members help out a lot. O- has been kinda flaky and told us she couldn't meet with us this week because of a Catholic holiday. And M- is on date but told us she's going to New York for a few weeks and doesn't know when she'll be back. Ugh... 

We're teaching a new family. They're African American and have the cutest kids. The mom is super sweet and is actively searching for a relationship with God. She wants to read the Book of Mormon and learn more! 

Other cool things!!! I bore my testimony last week and the bishop told me afterwards that my enthusiasm and passion had inspired his older daughter to go on a mission. And through tears he said "even if you never do anything else on your mission, you'll always be the sister who helped my daughter realize she needed to serve. So that was happy! And then they had me give a talk on "Light" literally the only phrase they gave me was "how do we turn the light on?" It went well!! It was my first talk as an actual missionary and I wasn't even nervous! And I didn't practice it at all before. It was all the spirit. I am not a good public speaker. So I'm very grateful for that. Lots of people told me they liked it and almost all of them said "you're just so bubbly!" Hence my subject line. It must be because I drink so much soda. That's one habit I can't seem to ditch yet.
