Monday 4/15/2013 – Sunday 4/21/2013

Monday was chaos, but we got everything done. Taught Marcy, and Sister Judkin's was there, and it was sweet! We taught the Plan of Salvation a bit more. Good lesson and Marcy now has a baptismal date of May 18th.

Tuesday we had Zone Training which was good. We have some great missionaries in the Zone. We had a lot of fun with role-plays. Then after that, we helped the Pensacola Elders move. They stayed in the same apartment complex so it wasn't too tough. Ate dinner with the Lindburg's. They are a sweet old couple that remind me of my Grandparents. Brother Lindburg uses a walker and has trouble getting around and is very quiet just like my Grandpa. Then we met a lady name Geraldine and later we met Richard. Geraldine took a BOM and Richard said we could come back and we set up an appointment. Then we taught the McGuire's a lesson. The oldest daughter got teary and hopefully that means she felt the spirit.

Wednesday we first stopped by a member’s house named Jimmy Stewart. He has been going through a rough time. Great guy though and he is a very good painter! Met Miss Land on the way home from there and gave her a BOM. Saw Sister Long as well and taught her about the Priesthood organization. Dropped by the Schiewe's and Sister Schiewe committed to do a couple things for her friends. Taught the Abbott's about the Restoration and they enjoyed it and committed to read and pray about the BOM! Had coordination with Brother Price. He is a sweet Ward Mission Leader! Then we ate dinner and called some people.

Thursday we had our weekly planning and it was way good. We set some good goals and made some good plans. Had some dinner and baseball with one of the many Smith's in the Ward. Brother Smith is in the Stake Young Men's. Then there is Bishop Smith and President (Elders Quorum) Smith. They are Brothers and then their Dad is in the ward too and I will call him Papa Smith. Then we played basketball with a ton of non-members and gave them a message at the end. My basketball skill is so far gone! Today was cool though because everyone bore testimony of how they knew God was real! It was sweet!

Friday we just went around randomly and tried to contact a ton of people that we planned to see. We had a lesson with Sharron and dropped the baptismal date on her. So she has a date of May 25th. We have a few things left to work out with her but she seems to be seeking. Visited with the Iosefa's who offered to feed us so we accepted. Then we headed to Sister Hall's, Taught her and Lester a bit and then we headed back to the Iosefa's for some food! Then we went around and tried to contact some more people.

Saturday we started by biking and as we were biking we saw a couple softball games going on. Elder Smith said he met a girl that volunteered at it. It was a league called "The Miracle League" and it’s a league for handicap people; so I said well we could go and FSU it. The FSU Elders would go to big crowds and wait for someone to talk to them. So that is what we did and, by the way, this is such a great idea for these kids that are handicapped. While we were watching a girl named Becky came up and started asking us a ton of questions and we ended up giving her a BOM and also 3 pamphlets. She also invited us to a Russian Bible study group at PCC (Pensacola Christian College) that was later that night and we told her we would go. Then we went to a formers house and talked to Jackie for a while. Somehow the topic of a girl named Sarah came up and we came to find out that she is from Roy, Utah (Elder Smith lived in Roy) and has the same birthday as me. She is also Jackie's cousin. Then we remembered that she was the same lady that we were looking for the other day but could not find her so we left a note in her PO Box. We don't have an address or anything so we asked Jackie to ask her if she could give us her info. It is just meant to be for us to meet or teach Sarah! Had dinner with Sister Platt and then we went and walked around a car show for a few minutes to see if we could OYM. Then a lady just came out of nowhere and hugged Elder Smith. She has a son out in the Tampa Mission named Elder Smith so we talked for a minute. She is just visiting up here and she is from Utah. Then we went and made a map at Office Depot. Then headed to PCC and Becky and her sister took us on a tour of the campus. It is very nice! They have bowling, pool, ice skating, volleyball, basketball, badminton and the largest rock climbing wall in the country. Then went to the Bible study and it was really good. They have some pretty good hymns and that talked about how worship isn't going crazy and partying and what not. So that is right along with our beliefs. They have a ton of crazy rules there though. We almost got out of there without anyone yelling at us, but right at the end some guy came up and had a bashing mentality and tried to tell us what we believed and that we aren't Christian. Great day overall though.

Sunday we had a good Ward Council. Church was good as well. Marcy and Sharon both came! We had dinner with the Brook's which was good. Sister Gray called us and told us to come get a ton of chicken she had made so we did. We also saw the Jaurez Family and the Ryder's as well. They are both great families. They are sadly inactive right now, but we can fix that. Now we are watching a movie called "Our Heavenly Father's Plan". It is a corny, but a great church film.

Monday 4/8/2013 – Sunday 4/14/2013

Monday was our P-Day and we mostly ran around like chickens with our heads cut off. Shopped, mailed a package, emailed, laundry and we also played some ping pong on our kitchen table. In the evening, we taught Marcy the Plan of Salvation and it seemed to go pretty well. She is a bit scared to split her family up if she were to be baptized. Great lady though! She is so ready for this!

Tuesday we had a really good District Meeting. Elder Snow is our District Leader and he really knows what he is doing. I was put in the "Hot Seat" and everyone just asked me questions for about 5 minutes. It was pretty fun! Everything else fell through, but we met a lady named Heather and saw some less actives, then fixed Elder Smith's flat tube.

Wednesday we did service for the Jennings' and then shared a spiritual thought with Brother Jennings mom. She is a non-member and she is in her 90's. Such a sweet kind lady! Elder Smith needed to replace his bike tire so we went and got one of those and I got some "Foster Grant" sunglasses for when we are biking so that crap won't fly into my eyes. The fact that they had the name Foster in them sold me on them. We saw a less active lady named Sister Ansley, saw Brother Gunn (less active) and Sharon (gator) and taught Sharon. They think they are married so we tried to teach them that they aren't and that they need a marriage certificate to be lawfully wedded. They said that they were married by God. Then we saw the Curry's who were going to feed us but that fell through. They are awesome though!

Thursday we had our weekly planning and it was good! After that we went to see TJ and he wasn't home because he got sick and went to his grandma's. So we talked to his mom for a while.  She is way, way nice! It was way stormy so we headed in to do some work and create some white boards that will help us to be more organized. Brother Iosefa was supposed to pick us up for dinner, but that fell through and he just brought us a pizza which was really good! Then we biked to the church for our basketball night in the way rainy weather. Found out later that there were tornado warnings. My socks were so soaked so I ended up playing in just my shoes. I played pretty well though. Best part was that we had 7 non-members there. Shared a message with them and the Relief Society had an event so they brought some sandwiches out for us all to eat. Then we went out to find out that Elder Smith's bike had a flat tire. So we walked to Hillcrest Baptist (2nd biggest church in our area. The biggest is Olive Baptist which is also the biggest church in the mission) and locked up our bikes because Pensacola insisted on them taking us home. Very nice of them and the member that they were with, but in all reality we would have got home at the same time had we walked.

Friday we went and got our bikes from Hillcrest Baptist and ended up biking a lot. Met a guy named Angel and he is legit! We taught him a lot and he asked a lot of questions. We referred him to the Pine Forest Elders because he lives in their area. Also raked some leaves with Angel for a bit and got to know him pretty well. Had dinner with the Schoonover's. They are so funny and I laughed my butt off!! Rode around the rest of the night and tried to contact a bunch of people with no luck. I also got a really bad sunburn from biking.

Saturday we headed up to Brewton, Alabama, for the day of service that the Stake put on. Fun and I added to my sunburn a bit. I keep forgetting the sunscreen. We raked dirt to loosen it up and then planted wildflower seeds at a park up there. They had some other projects that some other people did as well. They had about 150 people show up because of the Church's efforts and we tore that place up and did work!! The whole Zone of missionaries was there except for just 1 senior couple. The Sisters somehow sucked us Elders into a game of tag with all the little kids. That was pretty fun though. That was during lunch when we had some hot dogs and some burgers. We rode up and back with the Walke's from our ward. They are really nice and it was fun to get to know them a bit. We got home and changed and studied and went on a 45 minute ride to Sacred Heart Hospital. Bridget (gator) was there with her 4 or 5 month granddaughter, Nevaeh is her name which is heaven backwards. We went there to give Nevaeh a blessing. She was very fussy and then Elder Smith showed her a picture of the Savior and she quieted right up. It is so cool that little baby's will recognize Jesus when they see him. She is so cute and has an awesome name! Then we headed home.

Sunday was my first week in this ward because last week was General Conference. We started off the day interrupted by Brother McLeod who is the High Priest Group Leader. As soon as we answered the door he just walked right in. We aren't supposed to have members in our apartment. So he just started talking to us about who we have seen. Then he counts that toward home teaching. Kinda grinds my gears, but God knows what is really happening. You can't fool him by saying we are doing it. He is great though and really tries to magnify his calling! Then he took us to Ward Council and I got to meet the Priesthood and Auxiliary leaders. We also set up the Sacrament because there are not many young men in this ward to do that. Great meetings! Marcy (gator) also came to church which was way awesome! Had studies after church. Brother Brook's and his daughter, Jenna, brought us food because something came up and they couldn't have us over. Then we biked our butts off and saw Sister White for a few minutes and then taught Brother Gordon (less active). Biked home to end the night.

Monday 4/1/2013 – Sunday 4/7/2013

Monday I ball'd it up! I also found out I will be transferred to the Fox Run Ward in Pensacola, Florida. I will miss Tallahassee, it was a fantastic area. This is not an April Fool’s joke...

Tuesday consisted of everything falling through and a lot of packing. Had District Meeting as well and played some "Name That Tune". My last one as District Leader, I am just going to be a Junior Companion in Fox Run. Our dinner with the Lawson's fell through, but we went there anyway because Brother Lawson was really sick and asked that we would give him a blessing. So we did and they also gave us some pizza. I was happy that we were still able to go there and see them because I love the Lawson's. He also told us we were great missionaries and that meant a lot because I have always kind of looked up to Brother Lawson. Then we headed home so I could pack. It was so funny because I was able to pull the whole "if your hand is bigger than your face you have cancer" thing on Elder Lovell. He fell for it and I hit his hand into his face! HAHA oh it was funny!

Wednesday I met Elder Smith my new companion. He is pretty awesome and is a really funny guy. I think we are going to have a lot of fun. During transferring I rode in a van forever and talked to Elder Norton the A.P. He is way cool and we had some good conversations about Michael Jordan and the Lakers. I also saw a lot of old faces like Elder Olsen, Elder Cornelius, Elder McPhearson, Elder Wright and Sister Rapleye and a lot more as well. Met a lot of the Fox Run Ward as well and had some "Chili Pie" at the Eubank's house. We also had Coordination with Brother Price our Ward Mission Leader. He is really cool and seems like a really good ward mission leader.

Thursday we had weekly planning then went to a lot of places that fell through. Had a lesson with TJ and then dinner with the Booren's, then played basketball with a bunch of non-members. I sucked and then we taught a little lesson to them and headed home. I also got hit in the eye and that felt really great! haha

Friday we went all over and I met a ton of people. I met Mike Ley (less active), then Jennings and their non-member family, the Seller's (recent convert), and a bunch of others as well. Very nice ward in this area. I am sill transitioning but I think this ward will be great to work with.

Saturday Conference!! It was fantastic and I can't wait to get the Ensign! Met some more ward members at Priesthood. We saw Bridget at her yard sale. She is was nice and seems like she is prepared and ready for this gospel. Can't wait to teach her a real lesson.

Sunday Conference again!! Elder Holland had a fantastic talk! Unfortunately Conference ended. We got TJ, our Investigator, there and also got Rose and William there. They are two of the McGuire kids, they have an awesome, huge family! Had dinner with the Jordan's as well. They are cool and it was pretty good food. Mom's candied yams are way better!! Then we saw some potentials. Walked in to a wall of methane at Walgreen's... Almost killed us... Good week! I am excited to work hard and get to know Fox Run! Let’s DO WORK! Love y'all back home!

Monday 3/25/2013 – Sunday 3/31/2013

Monday I forgot to write in my journal but it was just a normal P-day.

Tuesday I got sick after basketball so I ended up sleeping from 9:30 last night to 8:30 in the morning. Then I sat around trying to feel better. Got ready and had companion study and left at like 3:40 to go and proselyte. Had a good lesson with Nero! We ended up just reading with him for a bit. We ate dinner at the Bishop's and then chatted with Elder Lovell a bit. Basically trying to build his confidence. Then had FHE at the Looney's! They are awesome! Talked about some deep stuff with them.

Wednesday was a rough morning again so I slept in a bit late. I had permission from Sister Jensen so don't worry. She told me to get a lot of rest. But we had a good day we just tracted a lot and found a new gator. Saw an inactive named E. W. Massey that is now a preacher at another church. Had dinner with the McClellen's. It was so good! Taught Tabatha and Brother Barabash came with and we had an FHE.

Thursday weekly planning, lunch, then helped Marsha again with a tree. We dug a hole and planted a tree. Then cleaned up for dinner with the Casey's. We had some egg rolls and rice. Then I interviewed Jarquecce and Xyqoia for baptism and they seemed very ready! Then we had a lesson with the Hood's. They are awesome and very fun to talk with.

Friday we had a lesson with George Turner a less active. Met Renea and we are going to teach her. Also Elder Lovell needed to use the restroom so we went to Kohl's...no restroom. So he got a tie that I wanted and found, but then he wanted it so I didn't want the same tie as my comp. Then we used the restroom at Target and got some beverages. Had dinner at the Russell's and a lesson at the Tucker's.

Saturday a lot of peeps canceled on us. Pretty good day though! We ended up having to wait on FSU to bring back our car so we did what we could at the house. We saw the Stuckey's and tracted, saw Linda Allen and also the Brumby's who tried to bash with us basically. Then we met Cam'Ron. Nice guy, took a BOM and he said we could come back.

Sunday was EASTER!! Happy Easter and it was great today! Fantastic church lessons. We had an appointment that we took Keith to and it fell through. Headed to George's again to watch an Easter movie with him. We watched the Lamb of God. Had dinner at the Matkin's which was really good! Soft Taco's! Tracted a bit and also saw the Delong's who were a referral. That was an interesting experience because their daughter answered the door and she was probably like 16 or 17 years old. She was wearing sweats and a bra... so that was odd. Then she left and I thought she was going to get a shirt on but nope! She just came back and told us her Mom said it wasn't a good time to come by. Then we stumbled upon a less active family while tracting named the Espinoza's and they told us that we can come back another time when their parents were home.  I have also found out today that I will be transferred to the Fox Run area this Wednesday. It is in the Pensacola Stake.

Monday 3/18/2013 – Sunday 3/24/2013

Monday I forgot to write in my journal so it was just a normal P-day from what I remember.

Tuesday we had District Meeting which was good. Elder Lovell gave a nice little lesson on bearing testimony. Today we tracted a lot, got gas, Nero fell through, saw a couple less-actives, had a great dinner with the Clawson's, Had more plans fall through and then tracted even more.

Wednesday was awesome! We taught Collis about the rest of the Restoration. He had a very big desire to learn more, which we don't think is good. He wants way too much at once and wants all the answers. We went to Mary', but just ended up setting up another appointment. We met a new Gator name Nathan who seems pretty promising. Taught him about the Book of Mormon and what it is. We picked up Keith and had dinner at Sister Walker's home. Chicken Alfredo! We had a lesson with Kenrick and he ended up just talking a ton and we barely said anything.

Thursday we had appointments so we had to split up our weekly planning. Went to see Artez and he gave us a fake address so we talked to a lady. Elder Lovell froze up during the door approach and had a bit of a meltdown. He doesn't talk very much so I am trying to give him some more opportunities to do so. We later went and taught a lesson to Tabatha about FHE's. That was a good lesson and next time we hope to have one with her so she can see how it is. Went to Jamie and Dave's place for a lesson, but ended up talking because they are going through a very rough time. So we talked and gave him a blessing that Brother Beyer offered. There were a bunch of non-members there and we got to share a bit about the gospel with them. Dave was also teaching them about the Book of Mormon. It was awesome!

Friday was Tucker's birthday! Happy Birthday Tucker! We went out to see less actives and met Jeff Poole who we hear about quite often, but had never met. He was at the Cantella residence and had just gotten there when we showed up. We asked for referrals and one of the little kids told us to go see Jordan who ended up being his friend. So we headed over looking for the barn mailbox that he told us about. Found it and was able to give a Book of Mormon to Jordan's dad. We also met Sister Simpson another less-active which was really good. Her husband isn't a member and we gave her a BOM because she didn't have one and she said to call her in the next couple weeks to set up a time to come by. Had some good food at the Herrington's and then taught the Tucker's and then made a lot of calls.

Saturday we walked 4 miles to Jamie's in the rain because we didn't have the car. He invited us to a BBQ and it was fun even though we didn't get to eat because the food wasn't ready. We got a ride to a BK right next to our house. So I grabbed a couple burgers at Burger King and ate them as we walked home from there. We picked up Keith and headed to Sister Malone's and taught about prophets. Keith shared his testimony which was so good!! He cried a bit. We ate at Stevi B's and Keith told us not to tell his mom he cried. They made a bet and if he cries while testifying then he owes his mom 5 bucks. So we ended up going there and sharing a message with them and told her and she was happy about it and had a good laugh.

Sunday we woke up at 5:45 today so we could go to PEC. I didn't fall asleep ‘til around 12. At like 11:30 I heard gun shots. Heard 3 and then a bunch of screaming and then 2 more and then some silence. Comforting! I bet you'd agree Mom. Then we had 4 gators bail on church. Lost Collis yesterday as a gator. but Dave made it to church! He enjoyed it very much as well. Brother Tensmeyer called on me in Elders Quorum and gave me 4 elements and told me to tell a story. I did pretty well to be honest and it was a pretty good story. The four elements were a sandwich, a baseball bat, aliens and Humphry Bogart. We also had dinner with the Gunn's and that was delicious! They are awesome!! We also saw Carly. Her boyfriend was called to a Utah mission, but I can't remember which one. We contacted a bit at Lake Ella and talked to a family that seemed willing but we didn't get a return appointment or any info. Good day though!

Monday 3/11/2013 – Sunday 3/17/2013

Monday was not the most normal P-Day in the world. We started off by not having our car so we walked to email. We also learned that the policy for email has been changed and that now we can email friends, family, ward leaders and recent converts. Then we shopped really really fast so that we could go to Genghis Grill to eat with President and Sister Jensen and all of the Visa waiters that got their Visa's. Then we said bye to Elder Stewart. He is going to be a great missionary! Then we went home and cleaned then contacted a referral named Nicole and set up an appointment. Elder Lovell and I had a good conversation also and I got to know him a lot better than I ever have. We also had dinner at the Hodge Berkeley home. Keith's mission call came also so we got to eat and he opened his call. He will be serving in Boise, Idaho! He is going to be awesome!

Tuesday we had Zone Training and after we got Elder Brewington. He is an FSU Elder and they split up all the campuses for spring break. So we got him for a few days. Today we went a lot of places to tract with not much success. Had dinner with the Jones family. It was delicious and we also had FHE with the Looney's, which is always fantastic!

Wednesday was awful! The bad that happened: We first talked to an Atheist and he told us that faith is just stupid and that Science proves religion wrong. We also got yelled at by a drunk guy who was using very vulgar language, so I did rebuke him because it was messed up and I felt the spirit telling me to or I wouldn't have. Also, the GPS glitched out at one point and took us to McDonalds so we ate there. We also had dinner at the Saul's home and that was pretty fun and good.

Thursday was much better. I didn't have to do any rebuking. We had weekly planning and, hopefully, we will end up having a good week. We got a bunch of referrals from Brother Tensmeyer. We taught JJ again and she told us that she was going to come to church, but I am not sure if she was there. Then we had dinner at the Tensmeyer's, which was delicious! They made pulled pork sandwiches. Then we tried to contact a referral and ended up tracting and met a lady named Connie.

Friday we taught Collis a great lesson today! He is awesome! We also went and saw Delaitre, a less active/potential Elder, and told him we would wake him up on Sunday for church and we got him there! He has lost a ton of weight for his mission. We also got 2 new gators at a gas station. The weird thing is that before we left the house I decided not to use the restroom. Then I really had to go so we stopped at that gas station and met them there. It was way cool! Elder Brewington's companion got back so Elder Lovell and I are back to 2 again. So we picked up Keith and ended up taking him tracting.

Saturday we started the day by planning for the fireside that we are trying have the ward put on. We then picked up Keith because we needed another male all day and every appointment we needed him for fell through. So we tracted a lot! Met a lot of nice people and gave away quite a few Book of Mormons. We also ate at the Beyer's on very short notice so that was cool! Participated in their daughter’s blessing. She wasn't feelin' very good.

Sunday, Good Sabbath! I helped pass the sacrament and we also taught the Elders Quorum lesson. Felt we did pretty good. We also talked more about the fireside with Brother Tensmeyer today. Looks like we should get this moving. We also got back in contact with Tabatha and she is doing well. Her baby was in the hospital with an infected finger. They had to amputate half of the very tip off, so he will be okay now. We also had dinner with the Shannon's and they invited the Tally 2 Spanish Elders: Farnsworth and Shwarts. After dinner, we helped the Tally 2 Spanish Elders help a guy move. We really didn't do too much moving though. We did a lot more waiting. Then we took them home and then headed home.

Monday, 3/4/13 – Sunday 3/10/13

Monday was a normal P-day with shopping that seemed to take forever! Basketball was really good! We had dinner with the Tompkins. My first real southern meal. We had Mullet, sweet potato fries, pickled okra and deviled eggs. Then prepped for the trade off with Tally 1.

Tuesday was our trade off and I got to go to the Tally 1 area with Elder Call. We ran a lot in the morning and I was way sore the next day. I can't really write all the things that happened, but we really had a lot of fun and laughed a lot! We saw a couple gators as well and a few less actives. Busy day, but it was fun. I hope that I will get to serve with Elder Call.

Wednesday we had dinner at Popeye's with Elder and Sister Mower. We also had a great lesson with Jamie and Dave, but the appointment went too long. We were going to go give his Mom a blessing, but that didn't happen. So I felt really bad that the appointment went long.

Thursday we had Zone Conference and it was GREAT!! I love listening to President and Sister Jensen! They are the best! We also listened to the Assistants and the Zone Leaders. I loved it all! We also got to teach Jasmina and her dad, James. It was so good. Then I burned my 6 month tie cause I guess that is the missionary thing to do. I also finished the Book of Mormon again. It's TRUE!

Friday was chaos, but great! Helped Sister Mendenhall move her stuff to her storage unit and she also donated some stuff to the mission, so we headed to the mission storage unit to drop some stuff there as well. We also helped Marsha with her path that she has been making. Then we did some weekly planning and then had FHE with the Looney's.

Saturday was a decent day of missionary work. A couple of things fell through, but we had a good lesson. We took Keith to Sister Malone's (less active) which went very well. She is thinking of coming back to church. Then we headed to Trey's for dinner and Dan was there as well with his wife. Really good spaghetti. Then went home so Elder Stewart could pack.

Sunday we lost an hour of sleep because of daylights saving and a second hour because we had to get up at 5:30 to go to Ward Council. Great meeting though! The new Bishopric is exciting! Great lessons at church as well! Then Elder Stewart packed some more and we also had a good dinner with the Hood's.

Monday 2/25/2013 – Sunday 3/3/2013

Monday was a typical P-day with basketball and what not. Basketball is always good! We also got to share the gospel while at Walmart with a really nice guy that was behind us in line. Then we all got our hair cut. It also rained a lot and appointments fell through.

Tuesday the only appointment that didn't fall through was with the Hood's. They are a less active family and it is fun to go to their place. We also had District Meeting, which I think went pretty well. It is still kind of weird being up there teaching. I got a lot of involvement from the rest of the District. That night I also scared the crap out of Elder Lovell.

Wednesday we first taught Lydia and her family. Also, taught Alan a small lesson and gave him the BOM on CD. I also got the website for his radio station. It is www.bigdcountry.com so check it out! We also saw the Saul's and gave Sister Saul's daughter a blessing. Then we went to Susie's and set up an appointment while she was leaving. Then we headed to the Kelly's for dinner and Sister Kelly had to go to a Relief Society activity that she was teaching at so she left while we ate with Brother Kelly. Then we went and visited with Brother Chester.

Thursday we weekly planned. Then we also had dinner with the Geiger's and it was sooo good! We also contacted a referral and then did language study for Elder Stewart.

Friday we taught a less active, Sister Witschy. She is a convert, but says that she never got a spiritual witness of the Book of Mormon's truthfulness, so we talked to her about how important that really is. Then we tracted a lot! Then we got Keith, but the appointment fell through so we went to the Lawson's because we felt inspired to get a referral from them. I love the Lawson's!

Saturday we tracted Sister Walker's street and talked to some really nice people then we visited with her and asked for referrals and she gave us a neighborhood to tract. We also taught a new investigator name Al about the Plan of Salvation. It was a really good lesson and I think he enjoyed it. Then we tracted some more and met some more really nice people.

Sunday was Fast Sunday and we got a new Bishopric in the ward. Bishop Matkin is going to be going to New York this summer so he was released. Brother Martin was called to the High Council. Bishop Longfellow is now the new Bishop. Brother Lahtinen was moved from 2nd to 1st counselor. Brother Jones was put in as 2nd counselor. It is going to be awesome because I think this is going to be a way missionary minded Bishopric. We also got 2 gators to church. We got Tabatha and we also got Lydia. We don't know why, but Lydia left halfway through sacrament meeting. We also had dinner with the Paget's and then tracted.
