Hi mom, it is so crazy that jess is now home. An umbrella would be nice; when it rains it rains hard. How hot it is depends on the humidity most of this week has been nice and in the 70s but if you have high humidity it will feel like 100s and you will sweat a lot. 

So transfers are on Wednesday and my companion is being transferred and it sucks. I will be showing the new missionary around and I still don’t know the area. It will be hard. Last week I also got bitten by a dog, it chased us for a while and it bit my foot but it didn’t do anything to my shoe but I still got bit and it freaked me out. It seems like everyone in Florida has a mean dog.

This week has been a lot better. I'm happier than I've been on my mission. I am starting to know the area. It is still hard to get up early and during studies I sometimes doze off. But my diet consists of cereal, beagles with strawberry cream cheese and peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches and what I get fed from the members. We get fed most of the time. Dad do you ever have ward council with the missionary’s because we have ward council every week except on Fast Sunday. We also taught a dog to like missionaries it was so cute.

So this week has not been so good but the last few days have been a lot better. there is this place called firehouse subs, and it is so good, it is expensive but so good. we got to play basketball with some members on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. One cool thing that we can do in florida is you can burn stuff in your back yard, we have been doing service and cutting tree lims off and then we just put them in a pile and wait a few days and than we go back and burn them it is fun. 

Yesterday it rained so hard we got a ride from a member and by the time we got to our apartment we were out of the storm, then we waited five minutes and the storm caught back up with us.

Labor Day

Hi dad.

 I had to give a talk on Sunday and for the first time in my life I was worried that I would not have enough time at the end. I think the people down here are really into football but I haven't run into anyone yet. We are in a military ward so there are a lot of cool guys in our ward. One cool thing that happened to me on Saturday was we went to sonic for half price shakes, we live about a block away from sonic, and I got to OYM (open your mouth) the person that gave us shake I got to know her a little bit then referred her to family history. She said that she wanted to but couldn't find a site that was free so I gave her a pass along card to her with our phone number in it was really cool.
