Fight Night

Alrighty guys let's talk about what happened this week. Also hope you all are doing fantastic! So this week I have very unfortunate news. Our golden investigator wasn't able to meet with us at all! She was super sick all week :(

We also had several services this week which was fun. One of them, we helped this guy move who collects watches. We also had a blast at this other service on Saturday helping this family clear out a jungle (welcome to Florida) but we had a massive bonfire or at least what could've been an awesome bonfire but we cooked hotdogs so giant bonfire isn't what we were going for. Anyways, while we were there, the neighbor of the guy we were doing service for came over to eat with us and Elder M did a great job getting him talking about religion to which he ended up asking us a ton of awesome questions and we taught like almost all of all 3 of the lessons. It was crazy. Anyways super awesome times.

Another fun thing that happened this week was that Elder M and I got boxing gloves and have had some fun sparring times. Nothing too serious and we don't do face shots but it's been a lot of fun. Its helped us come a lot closer because it's a sport Elder M likes. So far I've won our matches but Elder M is getting better. 

We also have had a wonderful time becoming friends with the members. The members here are so dope and it's absolutely so fun eating and teaching them. 

This week we focused a lot on charity. It's something we all can do better with but as far as a definition I would say charity is acting how Christ would act if He was here. He is all about loving others and putting others before Himself and so that's something we need to strive to do. And I know that when I forget myself and just think about others, the time here just flies and that is when you mourn with those who mourn and it's the best. Try to see others as God sees them and it's hard to hate anyone when you realize that's your brother or sister, someone who God has an infinite love for. 

We also had a great time today going to Disney Springs. It was a blast! I was able to have a fun time with the Elders and we got to go through that experience. Everything is crazy expensive tho so I didnt really buy anything except a shirt that everyone here has so I had to cop one too obviously.

I love yall! I love Florida, I love my mission and I love the Lord.
