Go! Go! Go Joseph!

    So I don't even know where to start with this week! Being a district leaders companion is all GO GO GO! So I am sorry for the lack of emails we have to go around and make sure all the other missionaries are ok so we don't get a lot of time to email! I am glad to here Emily's graduation went well. And I hope you are feeling better from your sickness. Honestly the heat hasn't been bothering me much I have become accustomed to it. With my card however I won't use it anymore and with the refund They just through it on my mission card so I don't know if I can get it back. I won't spend it yet until I find out sorry about that. To be honest with you I don't know how I am doing overall. I could just be tired but I feel like I am fading fast and I don't know what to do. Luckily though      Elder Dalmas is awesome and has been helping me so much. I don't what I am in need of right now. Nothing in particular as always something sweet would be nice. On a good note Elder Dalmas is helping me with my exercise so I might come home from my mission ripped! That would be different. Well I hope that I have answered all of your questions. 
I love you so much and always enjoy hearing from you!

Lightening Never Strikes the Same Place Twice

Ok so first off I will answer your questions because you keep getting on my case. So I am pretty happy nothing to complain also the heat is fine getting used to it and everything is overall just good. This week has been so long yet so good I disclose the following information to you so mom will not freak out. We where biking in a storm and I almost got struck by lightning like 20 feet away. oh well. also We have been on bikes all week I am worn out. Elder dalmas keeps me busy which is good. So I got to do something that was so much fun I got to go to the wilderness lodge in disney world and eat at the whispering canyon cafe. It was really good! I ate Mickey Waffles! The work is still going good and we still have a baptism set up so thats good. I hope that you are feeling well!
I love you!

A few lines for mom

    If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of Me, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. I will answer your questions. So.. I am happy. it is pretty hot but I manage. Umm... clothes wise I am not sure. I am at a shirt pur day and I only have 5 and I have 3 pairs of pants but I just ruined one due to a bike accident (Which I am unharmed). As of now though I am managing. I could however use some popcorn from my favorite place provided from my favorite Mother! :) So I won't be drinking Mountain dew on my mission because the caffine is bad for you.. so if it is ok I will use those founds instead to purchass gatorade. My bike is wonderfull works like a dream. How is sam doing? Tell him I love him. Orlando is the best. so many cool things happening. lots of lizards and bugs. always working so that is good. cool experience(So we got to go teach a less active family and at first the wife wasn't intrested. but then Elder Dalmas showed a really good video called "Mountains to Climb" (you sould look it up) and the spirit touched her now she wants to change so good! Overall I am doing well!
I love you so much

It's Freakin' HOT!

    So I have a lot to say and not a lot of time so.. bare with me. Florida Is GREAT! So first off I start with how the MTC over all was. It was ok... Kinda felt like jail. Not a lot of space to move around and lots of strict rules. Iearned a lot so thats good. I loved my district though and I learned a lot. The flight there started at 10:00 but My distict and I had to leave at 2:30 to get there. Our district plus two others where on the flight with me. We got there and it was HOT. and Humid. So our first day My companion is Elder Dalmas he is pretty cool. I don't know where on the map we are so.. sorry dad. But we are tracting a lot. it is pretty fun lots of weird people here though. after the first 6 days of tracting we now have 3 potential Investigators who seem really intrested. YAY! So on Satuday I had my own run in with the local Insects. 40 Musquito Bites ON MY ARMS! They feel like they are on fire but oh well.
    
 The area here is awesome I know that this where I am sopossed to be. I have met so many good people. we actually have a baptism set up for the 26 YAY! An old black lady named Charlette She is a fire cracker. We haven't biked as much as I would like mostly driving because Elder Dalmas is the District Leader. So.. I am sorry I am out of time for email but I will keep writing more. I don't have anyone elses email on this so if you could foward it I would apprectiate. Oh and Mom my mission card at first wasnt working I fixed it but I had to get some groceries and some stuff for my bites. I got my meds and I am just doing Great Here in Orlando.
