Hey everyone! This week was interesting, it rained A TON. It rained pretty much all week straight, which is very unusual for Florida. As a result, a ton of crazy critters popped up. Go ahead and look at the pictures and I'll tell each of their stories.
We met with Sharon, the lady that came to church last week, and she's pretty cool! She was referred by her son in law that's a Bishop in another state, her daughter is a member as well so she's pretty familiar with the church but doesn't really know what we believe. She said she's seen the good that it's done for her daughter's family and she wants to be a part of it! She was out of town for work for a while this week though so she didn't come to church, but we'll get back in touch soon!
So here's the stories behind each of these animals. You'll notice the picture of the swamp that formed right behind our house, aka fly and mosquito breeding ground. Where there's flies and mosquitoes, there's frogs. Lots of them. They make a ton of noise at night. Fortunately I'm a pretty deep sleeper but there was one night where it was pretty hard to sleep. One of them jumped onto our window during studies so I snapped some pics of it.
A couple pics of one of the CRABS that appeared in one of our less active friend's yard. She said that there had been crabs running down her street all morning, presumably from a nearby lake that was swelling from all the rain.

The last one was just a couple minutes ago when we were on our way out to go email. There was a TURTLE just chillin in the parking lot. We took some pics, Elder Celestin tried to feed it a leaf, and then we let it do it's thing and came here to email. Welcome to HollyWeird!

Tuesday was my birthday! Again, a thank you to all the people that sent cards and gifts! It's so weird being 19, and it's weirder that means that I'll be as old as some of the Sister missionaries coming in! That's craziness right there. This week also marks 9 MONTHS as a missionary! Woah! Time is going by so fast! Maybe because I've only served in 2 areas so far but I still feel like a greenie sometimes haha.

That's pretty much all the news. The missionary work continues pretty much at it's regular pace. One exciting thing is that Bertina brought her boyfriend to church! We're gonna talk more with him later this week, but we gave him the vision to be baptized on July 1st! That'd be a really good thing for Bertina and her family so hopefully it all works out. Talk to y'all again soon, keep me updated on how everything's going!
Lanmou,
