The members have been feeding us really well, I jog every morning and it is just barely enough to fend off gaining weight. I'm not complaining though, with the members feeding us do frequently we are given that extra time to really try finding and teaching new people. While cold texting we have found that after sending an initial message about Jesus Christ, we generally lose people. So now we are trying to instead ask them if we can send them daily messages. Apparently that strategy has worked for other missionaries to build up a relationship with random people. We have about four people we text daily, we are playing the long game but we will get there eventually!
We had this really funny experience where a guy we do service for weekly decided to show us this really cool park that is way underused. We actually took the district to it today for P-day because you are just hiking along with palm tree and ferns spilling onto the trail when...BAM! There is a nicely maintained soccer field with lights just chilling in the middle of the swamp. Anyway, this guy, Mike, is super cool. We are hiking around this park when we go off the path and behind a fence and he takes us out on this peninsula to that is surrounded by a huge lake that apparently had some crocodiles in it but we didn't see any personally. If this lake were in Idaho, it would be a hotspot for literally everyone, it is taken for granted out here. Then again, I probably wouldn't feel comfortable canoeing around in a lake with crocs in it.
I just want to say how awesome all of you guys are by the way. Sometimes I forget how often missionaries are prayed for and as soon as I remember I get like a jump-start instantaneously. I also got a couple packages this week that were super amazing (the rice crispies lasted a whole minute)!! Which reminds me that I have a couple letters I need to get writing!!
Everyone one of you is amazing!!!

Pic #3 - Rootbeer from a popular store called Publix, it's probably the most sugary soda I have seen in my life.
Note: From Aunt Wendi we also have a Publix and the soda is SUPER sweet.
