Hmmm...i think ive ran out of ways to say hello.

But hello anyways!!!

myldsmail just got everything updated so im just messing around with it. lol. How is everyone doing? Im doing pretty good. It was kind of a rough weekend for us but it ended up pretty good i guess. Thursday was an awesome day where the whole zone ran from door to door to try to teach as many people as we could. The Lord defenitely blessed us for oyur efforts with someone awesome miracles. One girl from Puerto Rico was especially prepared and immediately accepting of everything. Friday and Saturday were not very good days though. I think part of it was cause we were so tired and burned out from thursday and the other was that most of our miracle people ended up missing appoinments or deciding they werent interested which was pretty disappointing. Plus there was an unusual amount of angry people at the doors we knocked. But Sunday ended up good. We went over to an investigators house and they cooked us dinner. Tons and tons of meat (carne asada, chicken, sausage) plus rice and tortillas and pico de gallo. MMM!!! We had a pretty good lesson and were also able to teach her sister and husband who ended up being really interested. They live in Miami but want the missionaries to come by down there. They couple we've been teaching are finally going to get married! Its set for the 4th of April. We are really hoping the church might be able to help out with the marriage license which is $93, but im not sure. We're trying to figure out a way to pay it this week cause they dont have the money. She doesnt work and he works 2 full-time jobs so she may have to get a part-time job or something.

The zoo was way fun last week! I got a lot of good pictures. Today we are going over to this guys house across the St. John's river who is having a going away party for his mission. He invited a lot of missionaries. I believe he is going to Oakland, CA spanish. He has been studying spanish everyday with the missionaries here for several months now and goes and tons of trade-offs so he's got a huge jumpstart. Well, last week i ended up buying a GPS. I got a really good deal on a widescreen Garmin GPS. They are coming out with a new version so this one was on sale for $99! and was normally about $200. 3 other missionaries and i got one. Its actually been really useful! I hadnt found anything yet to buy with grandma and grandpa's gift card from Christmas so i used that for half of it. Thanks grandma and grandpa!

Anyways im out of time so i hope you all have a great week!

Love,
