Guten tag,
Things are going well in Tampa. The sun continues to try to burn
us with its ultraviolet cancerous rays, which is nice. :) Elder Randall got fried this last Saturday while we were playing
softball. We were the captains of the teams and my team wasn't doing
that we'll. It started off a little like the Peanuts baseball games where
Charlie Brown has the worst baseball team and the only time they win is when
the other teams forfeit.
But it didn’t turn out nearly that bad. We had some really good
hitters on our team. I did reasonably good and in the end it was lots of
fun.

Charlie Brown: Aye, thus endeth the ball game.

Elder Randall is drinking protein shakes as always but is still really
cool. We have had some really cool adventures that seem like they
happened forever ago but are in reality only a few weeks ago. When the
training is over, I will probably be with him as a junior companion. This
morning he started sleep talking and I had no idea what the heck was going
on. Somewhere in the dark recesses of his subconscious, some enlightening
insight that could change the world came from his Super ego, but I was too
tired to understand it.
Transfers happened last week on Wednesday and Elder Ryan came in. He's
really cool and awesome except that he doesn't play basketball with us on
p-days. He, like Elder Randall, also is a total health-nut and doesn't
eat any cookies at all. He got trunky recently and is having some trouble
there. Hopefully I can go on an exchange with him soon to help him out
because I don't want him to go home early. Elder Dungen is his companion
and even though he's been out 21 Months he hasn't trained anyone before.
We have a really awesome family, the Losollo family. Mary,
Oscar, Joseph, Abigal, and Victor are their names. They all plan on being
baptized in April and are super prepared and excited for it. Yesterday we
taught them the rest of the Plan of Salvation and they gave us some tamales and
a non-spicy salsa type deal but it was still pretty spicy. They also gave
us some Tres Leche cake which was really good but apparently makes you thirsty
when you eat it.
Our ward mission leader is Brother Meyers. He actually served a
mission in Tampa ten years ago except that the area was a lot bigger. He
helps us out a lot with our lessons and getting people to church. The
members are also really good as well.
Well, this is a long letter. I hope everybody is doing
well. Even though the summer is coming and it will be really hot, it
should also be lots of fun. Things are going well out here and should be
going well for a long time hopefully. Keep being awesome,
By and large if we are complaining, then we are only thinking of
ourselves. - President Hinckley.
