My new companion is Elder Braiz Huxford, he is awesome! Like I told you last week, we've known each other for a while now. Back in the good old days, when I use to be skinny, we played intense basketball every P-day in Gainesville! He comes from the great city of Las Vegas. His original call was to Belen, Brazil but he's been waiting for his visa for 7 1/2 months now... Poor guy. His last area was in Chiefland, Florida. I Doesn't get any more southern than that. haha He's been telling me of stories about being out in the sticks where he ran into the most racist people and how he ate squirrel and other dirty meat all of the time. He also had the opportunity of trapping and cutting the head off of a gator with a butcher's knife haha. We have a lot of similarities and we get along great.
On Saturday we had the chance the play some flag football with a bunch of members from the YSA Branch and a lot of their friends that aren't members! I can't even begin to tell you how sore I am. We can barely walk haha. It was so worth it though.
Tiffany and Johnny Brown have decided to get married on March 29th and Tiffany will get baptized that same day! How great is that! After a lot of prayer on her behalf, Daphne, our former investigator, quit her weekend job working at the Drag Strip in Green Cove. She works full time at the Post office still but is now able to come to church and get baptized! This week we will set a date for her. It will be this month or next.
This last week has been very difficult quite honestly. It seemed like every set appointment we had fell through. We weren't able to teach very many lessons. We have a good size teaching pool but for some reason everything has been on hold right now in their progression. Hopefully this week we will be able to meet with them.
As for the missing bikes, our sister missionaries decided to get back at us for all the hard times we gave them and they hid our bikes from us! We left them outside of the church and they had hid them behind the building in some bushes. Completely out of sight! For three days we didn't have them! By the time they decided to call and tell us where they were, I had already bought a hybrid beach cruiser from another missionary. Funny thing is, if I had not bought a new bike, Elder Huxford wouldn't have had one to use. God had a divine plan for everything I guess haha.
Until next week,
Elder Greenlaw
