Hello Everybody!
This week has been so good! On Monday it was a bit hectic because President needed to change transfers up a few times so that means we were busy calling people and informing them and also organizing the logistics of the whole event. Later that p-day we also had a bi-zone dodgeball tournament, we came into it being 2 time champions but this time we lost it in the finals...sad day. The plus side of all of this is that our district now will destroy in the tournament, I'll mention that later on in the letter.
On Tuesday we had a really good district meeting and President threw down in the mission wide conference call about consecration. He listed like 5 things he wanted missionaries to be or have as attributes and then asked for 50 elders and 50 sisters to email him this week to volunteer. I know if the mission takes this seriously that the work here is going to BOOM. The rest of that day we were preparing for the new missionaries to fly in. We were lucky that the flight got delayed about 30 minutes, it helped us out a lot. Transfer time has to be one of my favorite parts about this assignment. We get to see the new missionaries fresh off the plane and spend that whole day with them and train them. The rest of the week we get to spend with the missionaries that have been here for a while.
Wednesday we had a fantastic meeting with the missionaries that are training the new ones. Even though we were the ones that were teaching, I learned so much for the people in the room, we had a lot of fun role plays too. We got a new companion. He actually goes home at about the same time as me, he is a spanish missionary so they go home at weird times. He was a zone leader in the Fort Walton zone for the past 9 months and he made that place boom so we thought we'd see what he could do for the mission. His name is Elder Palau. The rest of the week we have been trying to figure out what we are doing on campus and get a lot of the information on the church records all squared away. We had a little bit of time to go on campus yesterday and there was SO MANY PEOPLE. I was quite overwhelmed. We not only cover FSU now but we also cover FAMU. We got to walk around FAMU for about an hour and we saw two black guys singing and holy smokes they could throw down! I have never heard anything like it in my life. It was one of those situations where you don't want to mention that you sang in choir too because you don't want them to make you sing haha. It's been a great week full of blessings. i hope all is well at home. Love and miss y'all!
