Hello everyone!
I walked out the door this morning, and I immediately started sweating... Yes you know what that means... THE SUMMER HEAT IS COMING! Today is definitely the most humid day I've had here so far. Thank goodness Elder Jenkins had a hurt back which led us to a car! We thought that we were going to get it taken away from us this week since Elder Calder is my District has a hip injury. He's been going to a physical therapist, MRI's taken and seen about 8 different doctors. They still don't know exactly what the problem is and there is a chance he might go home. Its really sad... Instead they got a bran new Toyota Corolla, 2013 with 145 miles on it. Those miles were from the drive over from Jacksonville! It has all the latest and greatest in it, super jealous if you ask me! ha ha
Anyway, Steve Strunk is getting baptized this Sunday!!! Our district hasn't had a baptism in three months! We are all very excited. I might even have the opportunity to give him the Holy Ghost during sacrament meeting. I'll let you know how everything goes next week! In a few hours I'm taking a tour at the SWAMP! The University of Florida's football stadium if you didn't know what that was exactly so prepare for some AMAZAZING pictures next week!
Right now is also "LOVE Bug" season. These stinking bugs are everywhere! They were a science project gone wrong at Florida by some professor and now these bugs latch together and multiply by the millions! Gotta Love Florida! The other night I was fed by a member real southern food also. Fried Okra and Collared Greens baby! Not the biggest fan of the collared greens though.. Here in Florida they also have an amazing thing called a Roo Cup. Kangaroo gas stations are on every block is seems, and they have a cup that you buy and then refills are only 25 cents! We drive past one everyday and so off course we have to stop by AT LEAST once a day and get a cold or frozen drink!
Training ends for me in about three weeks which is exciting, but at the same time really sad. Elder Jenkins and I have come closer than ever before this last week, and we have been a lot more unified in our teaching! I love Gainesville and I love him, so its a bittersweet feeling. We both have been getting hunches that he will stay here in Gainesville 2nd ward and I will leave.. But who knows, I will go wherever the Lord wants me to go.
Steven is solid, but other than him we don't have anyone that is really progressing enough for baptism this month. Finding new people has definitely been a trial of our faith, so we are hoping for some miracles to happen soon!
I'm very grateful for your love and support. Talk to ya'll next week!
Elder Greenlaw
