Weird Weather Here Too!!

The weather has been super strange here too! They said their winter wasn't cold like it usually is, and now summer is already here. It was ninety degrees all weekend, so we took the car mostly! They said it has never been this hot so soon. All the mosquito's are out already. And there are freak'n big ones!!! Supposedly the winter wasn't cold enough to kill last year's, so now they are back, bigger than ever, and with the new million that hatched this year! I have to watch where I itch in fear of hitting a bite and making it itch again! I have been told that Avon skin lotion helps the mosquitos stay away better than DEET does, I'm going to buy some today. It has been a crazy week!

In way of missionary work, we recently met a lady who isn't a member who is so ready for baptism. She already knows everything is true, but when we were about to commit here to baptism, her friend walks in and steals the show. She talked so much, and about nothing too! We didn't want to be rude, so we just committed her to read and pray. We are both excited to go back and see her soon. Funny thing, just when everyone we are teaching nears baptism, Elder B gets transferred! He leaves in two weeks, to Fort Walten beach to be a Zone Leader there. I will have a new companion. I don't know if I'm training, or if he is experienced, but it will be interesting!

That is awesome that Jameson is dating Brooklyn! She is awesome, I can testify to that! :) She was a super good friend, I don't know why I didn't chill with her more... It is weird to think that Jameson is dating her, like worlds are colliding! That's great though, I hope something works out for them. I have been praying for Jameson and Ashton to get married, even though I do want to be there for them. Don't tell them that, I don't want them to get scared! :) I hope you read this soon, so you can ask Brook to visit Chipley for me! If she heads to Panama City then she is only an hour away, you know my address, and I am not home during the day, only at 12, and 9 :) That will be awesome if she does, but ok if she doesn't.

I know how hard it is to say you are leaving your past job. I had to do it for Firehouse, even though they were closing anyways. Prayer always helps! I know you will be fine though. If this is the hardest thing you have to do right now, then the Lord is really blessing you right now! :) By the way how is Coree doing?

Yesterday, we had the Mini MTC, it was a blast! We taught how to study effectively, and it was great. After we taught them, we helped them prepare to teach. I was helping a group of 3 and tried to help them learn the Restoration in ten minutes. It was hard, but they were really good. The funniest part was the teaching! Brother Auckema, who is the second counselor for the bishopric, was the investigator, and he made it hard for them! He pretended to be a Baptist preacher first, and that was difficult for them. Then, next group he left and came back with a new shirt and a baseball cap that was a little too small for his head. He pretended to be a kid who found the B of M in the dumpster. It was so funny! They started the lesson by asking, can we start with a prayer, and he asked, "What is prayer?" Haha, I laughed so hard! They spent ten minutes on describing what prayer is and why they fold their arms. He pretended like he didn't know anything! It was so much harder for the next group to teach than the first. It took a long time too! Their lesson took thirty minutes, and then didn't even get past who is God. I had so much fun last night.

I'm glad everything is still going well over there! And that the Lord is continuing to bless you guys! I did get the box of candy, and Fry Sauce! Thank you so much! I shared with people that I received it, but Elder B says that it is only mayonnaise and ketchup, he shows no respect for it... But thanks again! By the way, I gained twenty pounds since being out here.... but I'm not fat, don't worry, I hope it's because it's all going to muscle! :)

I love all of you, and hope you will be able to survive the weird weather!

PS. Dad really loves his Ipad doesn't he? :)
