FIRST LETTER FROM FLORIDA!
Hey!
So this week has been really crazy!
Tuesday was my first real missionary
day...
and I got my new comp/trainer he is Elder
Oliver.
He is from South Jordan UT..
he is a pretty cool guy.
He took me around the area.
I met some recent converts and some members
just to get to know them.. it was cool.
I met some recent converts.. Stroy
and Marsha...
they love the missionaries and they help us
when we need it.
On Wednesday we really got to work..
went around and tracked a bit and had some
media referrals.
We went to go see them no one was home..
all we really talked to were some part-members
or members.
Thursday we tried to get more people to see
but everything was falling through..
and Elder Oliver got sick so that was pretty
bad.
He is still sick.
Appointments have been dropping on us this
week.
But Friday was the worst day of all...
oh ya i had a baptism already on Saturday...
{oh ya i had a baptism???? typical Treavor}
Satan was really working hard on Friday to
stop us.
We needed to go get this couples signature for
the baptism form things..
and we decided to ride our bikes.. even
though
we have the car.
And I swear not even two blocks..
(if there were blocks.. I hate the roads down
here..
its is messing me up so bad..
everything has a name its horrible)
But anyway we went two blocks my BRAND NEW
BIKE breaks on me!
I took it to a member that owns a bike
shop in our area
and he tells me that the rear derailer on the
bike is defective
and it was either the stores fault or the
factory that made the part.
So he's fixing it for me.. but he told me to
call The Bike Shop and I did..
the guy pretty much said that I had to take
the bike to them and they would judge to see if the bike
actually had a problem ..
He had a tone of voice that he didn't really
care what happened.
I can't take it to them cause its out of my
area.
But I should get my bike back from the member
today.
And Mom can you call The Bike Shop to see if
they will pay for the repairs?
So that happened.. and all of our appointments
dropped too.. so Friday sucked bad!
Saturday we helped a non-member family move..
that was pretty cool.
What was so awesome was that I found out
that
chickens love to eat frogs!
We tried to move the non-members hot
tub..
so we took off the cover and there was a frog
was stuck in there and his legs were smashed by something..
so they just grabbed the frog and gave it to
their chickens...
those chickens destroyed that frog..
it was so cool!
But today was so amazing.. we had the baptism.
We got there to fill up the font and Elder
Oliver ended up turning a valve which turned on the fire alarm..
so the alarms were on for about an
hour..
i was deaf after...
but we got the font filled so it was good.
I gave the talk on the Holy Ghost which went
well..
I met the bishop and I swear he looks
exactly like Clark Kent.. its so funny.
That was a great day and whats even better
is
the couple that was baptized have a daughter
that is 9
and she wants us to teach her.
So we will start this week.
We also got a new investigator
yesterday..
and if we're lucky we can have him baptized
close to the end of March.
P.S MOM HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON
THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will send you some stuff.
I probably wont be able to do it till next
P-Day.. sorry.. today got really crazy.
I Love You.. Have a good week!
LOVE
ELDER GREEN
{I emailed back super quickly and asked him
where he was because HE DIDN'T SAY!!!!}
then he replies with....
"lol... I forgot to tell you I'm in
Winter Park.. which the name lies... its not winter worth crap!!"
