So this last week has been great, I'm in my new area which
covers downtown Jacksonville. It's a lot of fun and covers some
sketchy areas but it's fun. This ward (congregation) over here is so
awesome, they love missionaries and feed us a ton. It is also a lot
of fun because another set of missionaries live in the same apartment
building and live right above us, so we hang out at night and most
meals. But all in all life here is going great.
One interesting that has been going on is we have like 90
referrals!!! A referral is when somebody gives us a name and address
of someone they want us to go meet with or if someone requests a bible
or Book of Mormon. So we have about 80 people who requested a bible
in our are and about 10 who requested a Book of Mormon. And he funny
thing is we have 1 more bible. We are waiting for more to come in.
And even more funny ever time we contact one more names are sent to
us. It is really overwhelming at times but is really awesome that so many
people want to hear about the gospel. We hopefully will eventually
contact all of our referrals in the next couple weeks.
Oh one funny thing was we were driving through the ghetto
and there was a preacher who had parked his car outside an apartment
complex and had speakers and was singing songs and teaching about his
church. It was interesting because everybody else was just going on
with there day and were ignoring him. I give him props though he had
a good voice.
Well life here is great because there are so many awesome
people that live down here. I love it so much and there is much work
to be done. I am going to have to be short with my words today but
have a great fantastic week and I'll talk to y'all next week!!

Here's the picture for the week, all my stuff fell out of my pocket, we call this a pocket puke. And one of the elders took a picture, this is how depressed I was. |
