Hey Ya'll


Good week this week, really good! :) 
Soooooo Tuesday we had a lesson with one of the guys we met at the library, whose been coming to church. HE'S GETTING BAPTIZED!!! YAY :) he actually isn't in our area so we handed him off to the elders in his area. This guy is SO prepared. I haven't met anyone so prepared my whole mission. He's been looking for this. He has SO MUCH FAITH. He's great. I am so excited for him!! Man, he's wonderful. 
GET THIS. Wednesday we had lil extra time before we needed to be home, so we went to Wal-Mart to contact. We met this girl, Mary. SHE IS UNBELIEVABLE. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. Like so so so much. She's so funny.She has been super devout in her Christian church, but the last couple months, she has kinda veered off the path a little, and has just been feeling kind of guilty. We were able to bear testimony to her of the Atonement IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ISLE AT WALMART!!! How dope is that?!?! There we were, in the middle of walmart all teary eyed. It was so cool. Man I love those experiences. THEN, SHE CALLS US (that never happens) and schedules an appointment with us, takes us to lunch, agrees to read the BofM, and come to church. I love her so much. 
We are still teaching the guy from India, he's so great! It's neat/hard to teach someone w/o a Christian background... trying to help him have his own spiritual experiences instead of just spittin out info. 
Jae is doing so good too. She's the one with 3 cute lil ones!! She started a new job today, which is really great. She seems really happy lately.:) We were finally able to see where her interests are, so that was really great. She's so sweet. I love her kids SO MUCH. 
There was a music convention thing downtown this week, and there were lotsa members downtown... it was so nice to here "Sisters!!"... kinda comforting, most people downtown don't know who we are. Always say hi to the missionaries, it makes their day :) 
FUNNY STORY OF THE WEEK! hahahahha 
Soooo..... Saturday night we're biking home in the POURING RAIN right? Tampa's drainage system doesnt keep up with the immense amount of rain, so there's huge puddles EVERYWHERE. okay? okay. Soooo, we're biking home, almost to our nieghborhood, gettin drenched, laughin our heads off. Sis Millard is in front of me... when a semi comes... and envelopes her in a HUMONGOUS wave of puddle water.... hahahahaha I about DIED laughing. She's such a trooper :) I sure love her.
Well, we've got another meeting with President tommorrow about this Metro area! Should be great. Elder L. Tom Perry is coming to our mission next month to see how we're doin... YIKES! :) 
Sure love you all so very much!!!
