Seffner Week 2

Arrived

Tampa is amazing and yes it is very humid, we decided yesterday to stop and knock at one of the part member home on the way to an appointment and it was jsut barely raining, she didnt answer right away and we turned around to go and it was a complete swimming pool, she finally answered her door and it was back to just a drizzle when we finished teaching her about 15 mins later.

We opened a new area so we have no investigators yet, but have knocked almost a 100 doors this week, and we finally got moved into our apartment on saturday after sleeping on couches of the spanish sisters in brandon we are now living in our area which is the seffner area. just north of brandon and east of tampa. I just sent debbie an email a few minutes ago, and it is pday on mondays.

We turn the car over to the hermenas today so time to get the bike out, wish me luck. I miss everyone and tell them that i love them.

So i landed in florida on monday, got to the mission home had a night of orinatation and then stayed at the mission home, tuesday morning we went to the church at 650 am early i know, then we had another 5 hours of training and then around noon we got assigned our trainers, my companion and trainer is Sister Piepgrass and she is from canada, she knows your mom, she said that her and her companion when she served in naples started to type up her personal history oh and that she is a crazy driver. seems to be doing well, I am assigned to the seffner area, just to the north of brandon and east of tampa, we opened this area so the first week was very slow going and alot of door knocking, the first night we were able to teach one lesson on the book of mormon and also on the restoration, she said that we could come back but ran inside when she saw us coming, we had the car last week and so we move to bikes today, but it is only 8 miles to get to the church so not too bad, we have car for a week then bikes for a week.

We met with the bishop and the leadership of the ward yesterday and so now we have a few part member and less active families to work with. Our recent convert pool is very small but it will grow. and We dont have any progressing invesetogators at this time.

We can only write on pdays and pdays are on mondays. I can only check email for about 20 mins and have to write the mission president. I have found that snail mail is a blessing but it is also very nice to recieve emails, your email is the last one that I recieved and i was so glad to have something to reply too.

 We have everything new which is nice in the kitchen. and We should be recieving our washer and dryer on thursday just waiting for them to be delivered. all of the apartments that my companion has been in have had their own washers
