How is everyone doing? I hope the weather back there is fun for y'all (I miss it so much). I hope everyone is having a good time and is getting hyped for Halloween! Still my favorite holiday (even though we don't get to do anyhting for it out here, haha). It kind of sucks being so close to places like Universal Studios, Disney World, Bush Gardens, etc. that are throwing these awesome Halloween parties and stuff. I see advertisements everywhere for it all, haha. I just wanna go to one haunted house, but whatever, its worth it. This week has been pretty mellow, so I will try not to write too much and bore y'all.
First off, this week me and Elder Cook finally got some solid Spanish nvestigators! We usually find between 8 and 15 new investigators a week, with only like 2 or 3 being Spanish, and 90+% don't want us to come back after the first lesson because they are not actually interested, not willing to change, not willing to make appointments, etc. This week though, we finally got some people that are willing to have us come back again and listen! And 4 are Spanish!!! Super exciting (and terrifying, but I'm being positive)! Three of them are from the Dominican Republic, we only knocked into and set up the appointment with the dad: Greg, but when we got there, his two teenage sons decided to sit in randomly! It was super awesome, they asked some very good questions, and seemed generally interested. He has been here for a few months, but his sons just moved here a few weeks ago, so absolutely no english. The other is named Ermando, he is from Nicaragua, and is super cool. He moved here about a year ago, and actually got a hold of us and asked us to visit him! He has a super busy/crazy work schedule, so we only got to meet with him once, we are planning on trying to see if
Online Prosilyting would work for him (we skype for lessons and keep in contact through Facebook messanger and stuff), I hope it does, I really want to teach him.
We also got to go and help with the Orlando Cares, Feeding Puerto Rico thing again! It was super fun once again, and the normal music was still 10/10. Speaking of music, I recieved a ton of music on a file from a guy in the CCM, but had totally forgotten about it until last week. And there is some really cool stuff on it (as far as "missioanry appropriate" music goes, haha). We have been listening to one band called newsboys a lot. They seem to be as close as I can get to the stuff I usually listened to back home (if any of you are aware of any christian rock bands that do not sound "aggresive", please tell me...I need it). Anyways, it was a blast, we actually got to meet the head of the project and he expressed his grattitude to our church! He explained that he is not a member, but he has never seen a church that has such a large population of members that honestly want to help out! It was really awesome to hear from such a cool guy.
Again, not much else this week, haha. Pretty mellow (in the terms of super exciting stuff). I am still feeling 100% exhausted physically and mentally every night, but it is still worth every ounce of effort! I know that I got called out here for a reason, and I love seeing the reason unold with every interaction! I love feeling just so content every day...its awesome! I love all of you back home and hope you are finding success in whatever you are doing! Don't be afraid to rely on help from above in whatever it is! Trust me, it works! Shoot me a message if you wanna talk :D. I LOVE ALL OF YOU and hope that this week goes well!

Spanish Practice:
En nuestro apartamento tenemos una
pelota de ejercicio (uno de los grandes, de goma, llenos de aire). Elder Cook y yo nos gusta jugar con ese y arrojarlo el uno al otro. La noche pasado, Elder Cook me lo arrojo y se perdio. Fue a la cocina y derribo un monton de cosas. Siguio rebotando y derribando una cosa tras otra. Muy divertido de limpiar, jaja. Vale la pena.
Pictures:
I am still figuring out the best way to do pics this week, I will send them out in a bit.
