Dad, how come you never told us more about your mission before? Like what it really is to be a misionary, not just member dinners and going to mutual? I dont do either of those here! haha. I think I am doing ok training, I think my weakness is that I may not be doing it enough for Elder Williams. Like we go through everything, but I think we may just be going through the motions, of course we are our own worst critics so I'm sure it's not too bad. =)

Things are good for me out here, I'm handling everything pretty well and working hard.

Miracle- so we've been teaching Michael for some time, he's got a testimony and is basically an active member, but he cant get baptised at the moment. He has to wait on some legal stuff and then take care of some things, but he's awesome. He brought his freind with him to church 2 weeks ago and he is taking the lessons! He has a baptismal date for the 29th! he is so excited for it. and Michael goes over everything we are planning on teaching with him (Dustin) before so he is progressing so well and is very accepting, we are teaching the Word of Wisdom and law of chastity next lesson, but I know he can and will be ready! We have some other progressing people and some with baptismal dates but so much is constantly happening, I've learned to not count my chickes before they hatch time and time again out here!

I'm doing well, im almost 19! That's crazy, maybe I'll get a cake or something if the budget permits, but im doing splendid!

The people are doing pretty good, i just want to help them reach their goals and sometimes they are not ready, but we will keep doing our part, because that's all we can do.

We went to a Rays game this Friday, it was "Morman" night (mor man) that's how they spelled it on the jumbo tron. It was nice to relax a bit and just be with other missionaries. 

Elder Williams is my new companion, he's 18 form Layton Utah, and doesn't like humidity. haha It's fun when someone else has to adjust to Florida weather, it shows how far I've come.

Love ya!
