learning so much from him! He is the district leader of our "sistrict". Our district only has sisters so that's fun! They are the reason for a lot of stress for Elder Hill but they are great missionaries and are killing it! Wow! I have way too much to say! Hahah So Bunnell is this old town that's kinda run down a bit! There is quite a bit of diversity so that's nice and I love getting to know the people! People here are generally really kind and the ward members feed us a ton! Like I'm going to get really fat if I stay here long!
Well, this week has actually been really slow, people cancel on us, slam doors in our faces, it's super hot and humid, we bike so much, and I LOVE EVERY SECOND!!! Like I'm a missionary and that is about the coolest thing ever! Thursday was one of the best days ever despite us only teaching one lesson... So we got cancellation after cancellation and door after door slammed in my our faces, we do this car share so one week we will have it and the next the sisters have it. But anyway, we have a maximum number of miles and we were running low so we were biking everywhere in the heat. Anyway, out of nowhere this huge storm comes in and starts drenching us as we are riding our bikes through this paradise! I felt like I was swimming hahah! It was the best warm rain ever! I was just smiling ear to ear and trying not to slide off into the rivers that were forming on the sides of the roads! We decided to go tracting! Hahah We got the strangest looks as we stood there dripping from head to toe! Well our dinner appointment (like everything else) got canceled so we ate at this run down gas station! We bought a sandwich and a cheap bag of chips and ate on this bench on the side of the road! Hahah it was one of the funniest things I've ever done!
The rest of the week was pretty similar. We didn't get rained on, but we didn't get to teach much. Yesterday we just stopped in a parking lot and said a prayer that we would somehow find someone to teach. We knew if we had the faith Heavenly Father would place people in our path! After our prayer we got out of the car and began walking around. Not even a minute later we ran into this lady and we began teaching. We got a full lesson in before she had to go, we then taught her son, and then a neighbor, another lady that walked by, and then this less active man across the street! It may not seem like much but it truly was a miracle! I am learning that much of the success that happens out here is hinged upon the faith we have! If we put our faith in our Savior Jesus Christ we can do miracles! He will give us the strength to accomplish any and every task that is out in our way! I love this gospel and I know I will find more people to teach! In fact we set a goal for our ward that if they help us, we can find, teach, and baptize someone by the second week of September! It won't be easy but I know if we have faith and pray for that specific goal it will happen! We will find that individual God has prepared to receive this gospel! Anyway, I love to hear from you and how you are doing! I can read emails on my iPad at anytime throughout the week. I just can't respond until Monday!
