We need to get our ducks in a row...I don't know where my ducks are!

That was Sister Richards response to me last night when I told her how I felt stressed and we hadn't weekly planned.... I also agree, I have no idea where my ducks are lol. So there will be no nice, clean row of ducks for a little bit while I'm figuring this STL thing out...CAN i JUST SAY I GOT TO TALK TO MY FAMILY TODAY?!?!? It was the best morning of my life and an answer to sooooo many prayers... God is so good and he is so merciful! This change will help me get through my last 4 months strong! I'm so excited!!!

Tuskawilla is a good place so far! It's in the College Park area so everything is super familiar!! And the members are so kind!! All of the fmailies are super strong in the gospel and there are kids!! So that's a blessing for sure. Sister Richards is also amazing!! She's been out one transfer less than me but she's a great missionary. And she's being super patient with me while I'm figuring this out. The teaching pool it's self is.... smallish... but nothing I haven't dealt with before hahaha. We'll get it there. ;) 

We're teaching this hispanic guy named Gammy. He kinda had some concerns about prophets but we took a lesson and really focused on the priesthood authority from the Bible and the Book of Mormon. At first we weren't sure if he was getting it and then when we read the last scripture he was like "Ok, I think it's trying to make sense now" So it was cool to see him make a connection. Plus he wants to meet with us like every night. So that's nice because he was the only one in our teaching pool at the beginning of the week...

We go to soooooooo many meetings!!!! We are over 2 zones so we have to go to both of their meetings. So on Thursday we went to the Mission Leadership Council then Friday we went to a meeting with the Zone Leaders and the District Leaders, then we had to plan for both ZTM's.... Then this week we have to go to both ZTM's.... it's a ton of meetings! which I love meetings... but also we have no time to do actual missionary work... So I'm trying to figure that one out....

But with the short amount of finding time we did have we found 2 new people! We had 20 minutes on Valentines day and we went and handed out Valentines to people at the mall and we talked to this guy in a sock shop and he wants to learn more!! So I've never taught anyone at a mall before.. So that will be cool!

We also met this guy who was a former member and he wants to change his life around and come back to the church!! So we're going to start meeting with him weekly! There's so much potential here so we're going to work on it.

We have this crazy neighbor we call grandma. She's super sweet and she was a member but she's kinda apostate now.... But she gives us toilet paper in times of need. There's also this crazy guy named Steve across the street. he told us the other day that he thinks Joseph Smith saw aliens instead of God and Jesus Christ. So that was an interesting conversation...

Oh also Tyra was baptized!!! I found her on UCF campus at tables. And if you know me and you know how I hate

d tabling you'll know that is a miracle for me. It proves to me that my time was worth it and for the thousands of people that passed by and the hundreds of "no"s I heard that there was one that I needed to find at tables. It was also cool because the dress she wore to her baptism was the same one I complimented her on the first day I met her. And it was so good to see my College Park homies!! ugh I missed them all so much!!! I wanna go back. Send me back.

So all in all, it was a good week. I'm excited to see what the future will bring!
