Hey World!

Our apartment is Lovely! i love love love it! This past week has been fetchin amazing!! We love the tally 4 sisters! we ate at moes! so good! i ate a GIANT burrito! haha all of it... Then wednesday was the greatest day ever! are y'all ready for it? we went to the homeless shelter (we volunteer there every week yes we're basically saints haha) there was this cranky volunteer who is sad but me & sis hirst and another volunteer named miss ann, we were laughing and talking and having fun!! then dun dun duunn!! we biked. I sweated in places i didn't know i could sweat! you don't even want to know! so i wont tell you. its just gross! we biked and talked to everyone!! we would be all gross and sweaty, riding really slow up steep hills! super embarrassing! we laugh but then we can't ride and laugh at the same time so we just laugh hahahahaha! anyway, the night before we knew we were almost out of BoMs so asked our district leader for some more, and his comp answered the phone and asked how many we wanted, i said like 8. i thought that was a good number right? so we would have extra just in case. he was like EIGHT?? can you even give out that many in a day? me and sis hirst made it our personal goal to give them all away! so during the whole day we're just giving BoMs away and gaining new gators. we rode our bikes to a recent convert named miss Rosia! but she wasn't home, BUT her daughter Keonna was!! and so we were like hey can we teach you a lesson?? she was cool with that! (this is in the same neighborhood as Michael) and she wants to get baptized! when we were talking about Joseph Smith and the BoM she said "Everyone needs one of these!" We told her that BoM was the most correct book on the earth and has only been translated once! she was in shock! we didn't even ask her to be baptized she said it herself!! Woot WOot!! she is so awesome! and on my mission i have grown to loovvveeee hugs!! i hug keonna and miss rosia so much haha they probably think Im crazy... oh well! then we tracted and contacted, drove to dinner and then biked some more haha. By the end of the day when we called in and safe, we had given away 13 BoMs! RECORD!!! we talked to so many people! it was amazing! We were on a spiritual high!! IT feels AWESOME!! ugh it was amazing!!!!! we had been praying to meet more people whose hearts have been softened! and we did! i think only like 2 people didn't take a BoM? Everyone we met was so willing and excited!! its was so crazy!! we were so happy!! hhaha best day ever!!! i feel like we say that everyday lol. the next day we had tons of appts. but people fell through and thats always tough. so we went to go teach a woman named betty (who we dropped because of craziness. (she wasn't there in the head) and lo and behold MICHAEL appeared!!!! we drove in and he was leaving the house and we smiled and waved! his whole face lit up! he was so excited to see us! we pulled in, prayed and jumped out to talk to him! he had ran up to the second level of apartments, our other gator named Raniky talked to us for a min. than i saw that michael was just standing leaning over the railing. i looked up and said " what are you doin up there? you runnin away from us?" he smiled and blushed and then ran downstairs to talk to us! i have never had a desire more strongly to hug someone! he is like a small gangster! ahhh i love him!!! he has been reading and praying and is seeing a difference in his life! the elders have made contact with him and are trying to set up an appt to meet! they better try really hard for him! he has a bcd!!! then we said that if we're here we would love to go to his baptism and he said he wants us to go! he really wants us to come :):):) ahhhh!!!!! WE LOVE MICHAEL!!!! he lifts us up! reminds us why we're here! We love that spiritual energy! sis hirst says we have become energy vampires haha i believe it too!!! then the next day which is friday we saw him again!! and we read some of the BoM with him and than he prayed. out. loud!!!!!! SO AMAZING!!!! ugh i love him! he is going to be such a strong member!!  we gave a BoM to some people smoking weed! they were so nice! they were rolling it up and doing it in front of us haha, we are going to teach them thursday! so nice!! so on saturday we decided to bike again... that morning we prayed for strength to ride our bicycles up the death hills, they are seriously deadly... we do it because we know we have to go teach people on top of the hill! just getting up the hill sucks! so we prayed really hard before then we went! by the time we got back from all our appts and such we weren't as tired and sore! the lord really did give us help! i appreciate downward hills a lot more and wind a lot more. also clouds a lot more! still not bugs haha i killed one on my face!!! NASTY!! sis hirst had one in her teeth hahahahaha so funny!!! oh i love being a missionary!! im starting to notice when i talk to people who are ready for the gospel and who are not ready! its insane! there is a light/desire in some peoples eyes that touches my heart! i want to cry out in joy!! this week really has been amazing, yes there were down parts but we were fighting to stay up! and the lord knew that!! we are still fighting! and will forever fight!! I am in love with the people here!! they are so funny! and i think I'm picking up a pretty good accent! oh!!! i ate turnup greens and rutabega! :P not as good as people say! but when you mix it in with potatoes it is magically delicious! muah! well i pray to keep up the spiritual highness! i love being a missionary! ahhhh!!! oh! today a memeber Kathy Lopez is taking us to Wakulla Springs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE SO EXCITED!!! my goal is to touch an alligator/crocodile! i will attempt to wrestle but i fear for the worst for my skirt... its really cute! oh! so our next door neighbors. we saw two girls go inside the house so we were like, WHAAA the guy has two girlfriends oh my gosh our neighbor is awesome crazy! then the next day we saw him get out of his car than 5 mins later he pulled up in a different car! waaa!!! so when we saw him and he started talking to us we asked him if he has a twin. he does! his name is john hahahahaha we were laughing so hard!! bugs are everywhere! and they are huge!! we caught a giant cockroach under a jar and just left it there to die... than we saw what we think was some form of scorpion but it flew or something and we were screaming and sis hirst starting smashing it with a jar or something! hahahahahha i get abb work outs!
