Well, I've pretty much told you the main things going on over skype but last night we found out Elder Tuft and I are staying together one more transfer until he goes home! I'm very happy about it! Great things are going to happen, he's going to go out with a bang!
We have our first Bible study coming up this Wednesday and we can't wait! We've knocked doors in all the ghettos to try and get me over to have a study, small refreshments, and basketball with ward members afterwards. This invitation has been made to members, active or less active, all of the missionaries in the ward and their current investigators and random people on the street! It's going to be exciting! We might just fill up our entire chapel! Then we will have to lead the discussion from the pulpit. Our goal is to break down the barriers we have in this area between ghetto and rich doctors. Yes, we have the extreme of both sides of the spectrum. This is a big reason why they haven't baptized in this ward for a very long time. It doesn't seem quite like a family because we need more black people! We've got a black family were teaching right now with their friends who are willing to invite all of their friends and family to the Bible study and church which is great!
Like I said before we've been sifting through a lot of couples recently. More than my entire mission actually. One in particular, April and Vince. We've done a lot of service for them in their apartment complex that they manage. Sadly our bowling and lesson appointment yesterday fell through and they will be traveling for the next week. We have a lot of confidence in them and hope they accept the invitation to be baptized the first time we have a lesson with them. They are dry Mormons already. The most friendly, loving, self reliant and faithful couple I've ever had the opportunity to teach.

Everything else is about the same! Still knocking a lot of doors, talking to international students, running into the most liberal people I know and wow it is Hott!! 90 degrees with high humidity every single day this week. Summer is officially here and y'all know what that means around a college campus like UF...... Ugh.. Haha love the mission and love the challenge though! Hope y'all have a great week!
