All the babies!!!

That's right. You heard it. We're going to have so many trainees in our 2 zones. I think we're getting 4 of the 8. So I'm excited to have so many new, little missionaries!! It's a little intimidating to be their first STL though and have to be a good example... ahh... Cuz I remember my first STL's and they were AMAZING!! Shout out to Sister Knapp and Sister Padgett. So I hope I can live up to their legacy a little bit. Literally every companionship besides us is changing. It's so crazy!

Highlights of the Week!

~We took some youth out with us this week which was a unique experience. We helped the Beehive class president track down the less actives on her class rolls. So that was kinda fun. She was really nervous but I think us being there gave her more confidence. And one of the girls answered and they got to meet each other. She told us we were super brave hahaha but I hope we were able to encourage her to go on a mission one day.

~ We biked home in the rain which was actually a party. It was at the end of the night so it was one of those moments when you throw care to the wind and just go for it. It was actually super fun once you just decide you're going to get wet and accept it. I feel like that's also a good philosophy for life too. Once we accept what's going on in our lives and take it for what it's worth we can enjoy the ride. Because biking in the rain is not super fun but that night it was.

~We found some cool people at a park! They walked by us and I kinda felt impressed to talk to them but we missed the opportunity so then while we were walking through the park to this neighborhood, there they were in the middle of a field sitting on the grass! So I decided I couldn't deny the prompting again no matter how awkward it was... so we went up and talked to them. It was a super short contact but they said t;hat we could come and teach them more. So that was really cool.

~We taught Paul twice this week! He is really progressing. He is reading the Book of Mormon and he has come to church twice. He really loves everything we're teaching and he keeps every appointment. Which is super rare for Tuskawilla. I can hardly believe he's real. Sometimes you wonder if he's getting it b;ut then you have him explain the concept back to you and he gets it perfectly. So that's awesome. Some people have been giving him some anti which isn't good.. but we've told him to focus on how he feels and what God tells him, not other  people. We're hoping to put him on date this week.

~ We also taught Michael twice this week. He's super energetic but he is also super fun to teach. We get to come up with cute object lessons and visuals to help engage him and help him understand more. If anyone has good lesson ideas for 10 year olds with ADHD definitely let us know. The Ward has  really been fellowshipping them more as well which is awesome. They are going to fit right in! We're also hoping to put him on date for baptism this week as well.

~Funny story... we actually figured out that I am not the designated driver.. but I've been driving all transfer.... so It looks like I will no longer have to drive for the rest of my mission. woohoo. I hate driving.

~We got to go on an emergency transfer with Winter Park because Sister Russell was sick and Sister Rennert needed to go to church for the people they were teaching.. So I got to chill with my homegirl for like an hour and we just talked and ate popcorn as I babysat her. Perks of the STL life lol. That girl is crazy but I love her.

This was like the one normal missionary week and now it's over and we're going right back to the crazy meetings like everyday.. ugh. I can't get a break... I can't believe I only have 2 transfers left.... ahhhhhh.... what??? This one went by super fast.. I can't handle it. And this week will also scream by with all the business of General Conference and exchanges with 5 sets of sisters now... ahhh.. Bring it on.
