(I ask him if he do's facebook)
 We don't do any social media here. We have so many people that we can find the old fashioned way that need the gospel that it wouldn't be as effective. 
(I ask about his companion)
He's a great companion. I love our district too. They're so amazing. I'm sad to see some of them be transfered, but there are sooo many great missionaries here I'm excited to get to know.
 
(He ask what christmas sheet music to send,they are supposed to put together a christmaas fireside or their investigators)

 Send me any and all the Christmas music you want. I don't need to sing strictly motab. I have a copy of Gesu Bambino in the white binder I left at home that I could use and then I would DESPERATELY love a Handel's messiah book. I'm going to miss it soooo bad and I was asked to sing something from it possibly. Other than that, just send whatever. I just love Christmas music. :)

This week was good. Halloween is boring here. Haha. But we had two dinner appointments that day. That was great. I went on 2 exchanges this week. I go on a lot becasue Elder McMullin is the District leader. It's good to be with him and learn about leadership with him. Exchanges can be crazy sometimes. I was in the other Elders distrcit for a day and the other exchange was with a Zone Leader and we took over our area. That was a crazy day, becasue we chased less actives all day. We drove a lot, but got to go by the beachat night which was awesome. The city of Ft. LAuderdale is beautiful. We stay in the Ghetto most the time, but occasionaly we'll have a less active or something to visit in the rich part of town and it's a coool city. 
 


 WE also do comp studies with the Sisters in the District becasue he can't exchange with them. I love comp studies. The sisters are awesome! WE have a great district.

YEsterday was crazy! We ran into a guy who asked it if we were mormons. We said yes. Then he proceeded to say somehting like this: "SO I heard this thing about mormons. I have  a question about it. I heard that you beleive after you're like.,...or you were had spirits, but....then after you were spirits you like turn into dragons..or something?" It was so funny. I wanted to ask him if we could come over later and show him what we looked like when we turn into dragons, but I figured that's not a very funny joke. Haha.
WE gave a blessing to an 18 year old that is bipolar or autistic. He's been in and out of the hospital a lot. THat was a great experience. I was glad I did that research paper last year on autism and music therapy becasue it helped me understand him a little better.

I love harvesting. We meet wo many wonderful people!

The picture attached is of Norzilia, our recent convert that was super pregnant when we baptized her. She called and asked if we woul dcome visit her in the hospital. WE stop by everyday becasue she gets super bored. haha. Her Babay, Olivia is soooooooo cute!!!!!

I love you MOm and Family! I'm doing so well. I love FLorida! This time of year is great. It's not too hot ALL the time. Haha. The natives freeze, but I love it. haha

Love you!!
