Dear Mom & Dad,
This week has been a week of searching. Florida roads are really hard to navigate because one road can change. We have this one road the changes its name at least 4 times throughout the neighborhoods. They don't name streets differently, they just change the title of it. So instead of doing Candle Stick Dr and Fireplace Ave, they do Candle Stick Dr, Candle Stick Ave, Candle Stick Ln, and Candle Stick Pl. and many many more.

I have been searching for a purple highlighter. We go to Office Depot alot and I found 10 retractable sharpie highlighters for $8.99. I almost bought it but I didn't. I almost bought a few other pens from there, but I didn't. Plus, I was marking my Scriptures with all the Preach My Gospel scripture references. Different colored tags for different lessons. I started to run out, so I am looking for a certain brand of tabs which are hard to find because it is an off brand. So yeah, this week has been all about the search. We must have spent 10 hours lost this week. We really didn't have time to tract.
Oh, and yes mom, I will be calling home on mothers day. I won't want you to have to call President Summerhays. I will be calling at 3 or 4 your time.
Not many members feed us. We have a few families that sign up once a month, which is all I ask for, but there are alot of empty days. The only days that aren't empty are Sunday and Thursday, because the Wagners say if we don't have a dinner appointment for Sunday then they will feed us. A couple, named the Grilleys, take every Thursday of every month, which is good but weird because Brother and Sister Grilley frighteningly remind me of Mallory and Brent. But that's all the dinner appointments we have.
My zone is on the coast but I am not. The gulf is an hour away. Florida is so weird, and I live in Oregon I know weird people will stand on street corner and start screaming Bible verse. Which I find funny because there alway about join my church or your going to hell. the Bible has a bigger message then you are going to hell if you dont join a church.
But I have a cool story for you. We were visiting less actives. So usually they say go away and are rude about it. We find this member and he lives in a really nice neighborhood. Down here nice neighborhood mean they don't like us. So we knock on this guys door and before we can ask for anyone. He says "Oh, hi Elders. Come on in". This was one of my favorite parts of my mission so far. Because he covered all our bases without us saying anything. We talk alot about his family and ours families. We stayed there for 2 hours and all of my missionary check list was covered. He told us how he came into the church, then he said, "Yeah, I should probably start coming back to Church." Then he gave us 24 military MRE (Meals Ready to Eat), which are surprisingly good. You should probably buy some for your food storage because all you need is water to cook them. But if you do buy some, only buy the Military ones and every pack is a balanced meal. Elder Thomas and I usually share one because they are so big. Then he gave us his son's address and told us to go see him and come back anytime. So, in 2 hours, we helped him feel the spirit, committed him to come back to church, made many dinner appointments, and got a referral from him with us not having to say any of it.
Dad, do you need a new scripture case? Are brown stripes ok? But don't you send the black ones I didn't open unless I packed them. Thank you for the gloves. I haven't had a really good southern cooked meal because all the people that feed us aren't from the south.
Well that all for this week.
