Top 9

Im not sure if i have a top ten this week. It was a fast week and a tough week. We are struggling finding people to teach so its been really hard. So we would really appreciate it if y'all prayed for us to have some opportunities to teach!

But besides that it was still a really good week, I have nothing to complain about. I love Florida (minus humidity and gnats), I love my companions, and love my mission, just wish we could have a little more teaching.

1. So today we went to the store and this might not be big news to you but Hostess is back!!! Man that is awesome. I got so excited I think I embarrassed my comps a little bit cause of how excited i was over a box of Twinkies... but they didn't have any ding dongs so that was a total bummer but now all y'all can see why my pants don't fit! I got a fat heart and a skinny body.

2. Elder Bochenek got a little excited last night during planning and kicked a hole through one of our walls!!! haha that was pretty funny experience! He has to call the housing coordinator later and explain that. He was playing with a Bongo with a shirt over his head.. hard to explain to the mission president!

3. We caught a snake! I guess not we, but elder Bochenek! It was pretty awesome it was only a foot and a half and not poisonous! But we have seen a few of those!! Which is super scary!

4. I have a new best friend in the ward! Her name is Carolyn Sims and she is 4! I gave her a CTR ring a few weeks ago and now i am her favorite person in the world! She ran full speed to me to give me a hung last Sunday! she is the cutest thing! A four year old with a southern accent! 

5. We talked with a great guy last night his name is brother Van Willis. He is so awesome and I learn so much from him. When we talks he likes having meaningful conversations since he is a psychologist. He talked about Mormon culture which was super interesting.  It was a great talk we had!

6. Matthew 10:16 is a great missionary scripture. It is when Christ talks about commising the 12 to go serve missions he tells them to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. It is strange to think about but I'm in a big game! You have to spark interest and you need to personalize the message so it applies to every person. So thus  you need to be wise but also harmless! It is really important and gets you thinking!

7. Pioneer day was great! We had it on Saturday had some good activities. It would have been even better but it rained so no slip and slides. i think my companions and I where the saddest of all the kids!

8 the rain this week has been crazy! Florida weather is like a 16 year old girl! It is so bi-polar! you have no idea! 1 minute it is sunny and nice and you can see the storm come down one side of the street and leave the other and its a perfectly sun sinning day! it is crazy!

So i only have 8 highlights this week. My brain is fried, so next week ill try to make up for  the last two but i love you all and hope all y'all are having a great week!
