 I'll send this one to you since mom isn't home...

Tuesdy

We just had an awesome lesson with one of our friends and we just decìded to be insanely bold with her. We read from the begining of acts 19 and talked about being baptized by the proper authority. We literally said our church is the only one that has the proper authority, do you want to be baptized by this authority? And she said yes! So now we just gotta get her to church

This morning i prepared a training for DC then we headed to the westwoods to do some service. The westwoods have a ton of animals and they just wander around their 20 acre yard. The whole place is trashed. On the upside, i got to hold a duckthen we drove to DC whilst listening to a podcast. My training at DC felt pretty awkward but hopefully someone got something out of it. Then we filled up our tires with some air and got free icees at the circle K. For some reason it gives us free icees when we type in Elder Clark's digits so thats epic. Then we went to Gayle's house and went over the interview questions with her. Shes gonna rock her baptisimal interview tomorrow  then we said hi to marget and she gave Elder Clark a fancy coin. For dinner we made chicken and rice(as per usuall). Then we got ice cream and played fooseball with junior(i clobbered both of them)

I woke up sick this morning for no reason, its so annoying i never get sick... untill i do. Elder Clark said I was snoring last night. 

We went down to stienhatchie(steen-ha-chy) today so that was cool. No one wanted to answer their door's but we took some pics of the ocean. Then we went to Sister Gayles with the highsprings Elders and she rocked her baptisimal interview. We kept making fortnite jokes the whole time and Brother Salas and Sister Gayle didnt pick up on them so that was hilarious. Then Autumn decided not to give Elder Clark a haircut so he'll be shaggy for at least annother day. We didn't really know what to do after it got dark, so we just texted a bunch of peeps

Welp im still sick, I hate it when my voice sounds all nasaly, its so annoying. We had an awesome lesson with one of the older members this morning. She was pretty confused about the kindoms of glory and all that jazz so we showed her President Oaks talk. Its so fire  

For lunch my head hurt so much and i didnt feel like eating anything so I just konked out in bed. All the lessons we had planned for the rest of the day fell through so that was annoying. The Lamars gave us dinner and it was very gas ️ I was so hungry I ate 4 pieces of lasagna. We stayed out a little late talking to the Lamars so we had to zoom back before the truck turned into a pumkin

We went down to cedar key today cause there was a big pirate festival thing. There was probably a billion people there and sadly none of them wanted to talk to us. A lot of them were pretty drunk too  but I guess thats a pretty normal pirate thing. Elder Clark bought a shirt tho so it wasnt a total waste. After that we had a lesson with Brandon, the homie already has his christmas tree out so thats wacky. After that junior took us out to dinner at this one chinese place. Dude they gave me so much sauce it was pretty much a soup. During dinner Junior told us about how hes been feeling really depressed lately cause he feels lonely. Then he talked about how hes been getting suicidal thoughts again lately and he bought a knife. We're pretty worried about him so we made him give us the knife and told him to call us whenever he gets those thoughts

Sundy

It was daylight savings and praise the Lord we got an extra hour of sleep  but then when I opened the fridge i realized its fast sunday  at church they announced that they are combining the branch and the ward into one. After church we had a lesson with this one new member that went really well. A few days before we showed up she said that her sister brought up that part in 2 nephi 5 about the curse of black skin on the lamanites. She was pretty troubled by that so I read 2 nephi 26:33 with her and that made her feel a lot better. Also theres this whole essay about race and the priesthood on gospel library that I told her to read. Its kinda crazy that we showed up and helped andwer her question right after she had it. The Lord definitely guides us  After that we had an early dinner at 4 cause we had a rumbly in our tumblies. When we walked out an hour later the sun was already setting, it was so weird. Visiting people in the dark was kinda spooky. There was this one guy that we talked to who was camouflaged into his porch. It was so dark and he was wearing all black. We didnt even see him untill he said somethibg. After that one we just went home and studdied
