Hellllloooo everyone how are you all? I'm great the weather is starting to heat up here pretty darn fast I didn't get to experience cold for too long. It looks like I'm going to have an awesome time here and my new comp rocks. We both wanna work really hard and that's awesome to not have a lazy comp.
Monday: FREAKING GOT TO CALL HOME I love that I can just call my dad every week now it's such a blessing and a motivator for me personally. Then I went out fishing with my Comp. Elder Jorgensen and another Companionship it was awesome, but the fish weren't even the best part. I was fishing on one side of the lake and my friend Red called me over to the complete other side of the lake. I headed over there and what he had was way cooler than all the fish he pointed out an alligator to me it was crazy I'll put the pic in.
Tuesday: I was feeling a little under the weather out of nowhere I told Elder J I was fine and we knocked doors for about 4 hours till he told me I looked like death and needed to rest I bought some Tomato Soup and NyQuil and just knocked out.
Wednesday: we went to my favorite thing in the world for our weekly service project it's called Give Kids The World. It's a standalone company that Disney and Make A Wish both fund and it’s amazing all of the kids that want to go to Disney World for their wish come and stay at this place and they all have their own homes and there's rides and water rides at the place to and everything is free for the guests so it's super nice. This week I delivered food which is cool it's for the kids that are too sick to leave their rooms and I get to see the family and ride a go cart so all around. So fun!
Thursday: We had a zone meeting thing it was cool. I mean way different than before and it takes a lot longer lots of people talk and it's like a lot of last-minute assignments. Our ZLs just got white washed so I'm not going to complain just give them time to screw their heads on. I gave my testimony at the end but me and my comp are the only people that know Portuguese soooooo I don't know how many people understood but the spirit was there. Also We taught our investigator Carlos he’s a cool dude we just reminded him to keep reading the BOM he’s said before he gets baptized he wants God to send him a dream knowing it's true so we talked a lot about sign seekers and how God testify in different ways to different people we will do another lesson with him this week and ask if his desire is still there.
Friday: we went to the Orlando temple it rocked did one session and some initiatory’s if you haven't been to the temple in a bit, I recommend going a lot has changed. After that we went to Cheesecake Factory it was yummy, I got a bacon burger.
Saturday: HAHAHA Saturday was funny. We needed new people so we literally knocked homes and apartments from 10-8 we got kicked out of a lot of places because they have no soliciting signs even though we're not selling anything. Elder J gets mad at them most the time where I just say alright and go to the next neighborhood over but not many people answered the door in fact almost no one. 50% of the people that answered the door either pretended to not know English or Portuguese or they were Jehovah Witness no joke but they were good JH,s not the ones that get way mad and just bible bash we just talked about how knowing someone's name helps you grow closer to them and how its important that we recognized that God and Jesus our separate because Jesus literally did everything in the name of his father and out of respect for all Jesus did for us we should at least keep his wish and thank God for all we have. OH, AND I GOT MY NEW PHONE THAT'S SUPER COOL I love it so much I've taking like a million pictures of it and on it I'm so grateful for everything I have.
Sunday: Church was good talked a lot with brother Stanley my ward mission leader he is way funny and way southern after church we stopped by his home to see his wife that didn't make it to church than she tried to kill me by feeding me so much food Ha-ha she reminds me a lot of Grandma P. After that we went to dinner and taught a super nice lesson.
Monday: So far just hanging out on my bed, making breakfast, and writing this email. going to go out and buy some fun stuff in a bit I think probably golf or Disney stores? I love you all and hope your week is good and you feel the spirit.
-Elder Perry
