To all you veteran missionaries out there, this may seem obvious, but going up and just talking with people has been incredibly effective for us! Elder Murphy and I have been going out of our way to talk with every person we can, sometimes to the point where we will see someone walking and will drive ahead a little bit, park, and start walking back towards them. It almost always leads to an amazing conservation centered on Jesus Christ.
I was with Elder Tucker all day Saturday because we did exchanges and we were planning on helping our ward mission leader cut this member's grass but then he messaged us and asked if we could do his real quick beforehand so we helped him. When we got to ladies house after we got into like a pilot formation with our three push mowers, it either looked really cool or really silly but it was effective.
I may have mentioned this in the past but the house we live in is MASSIVE. So massive in fact, that the local woodland creatures have decided to join us in it. We currently have had two lizards slip in that we still can't find and just this morning there was a big frog splayed out on the wall in front of our room. We saw the lizards slip in, the frog though? No idea. Needless to say we are washing all of our dishes before we use them even if they look clean.
Last thing, I mailed off all of my visa paperwork and will get my visa sometime in the next month or two and then get shipped off. It is embarrassing to say, but Florida has changed me. I can't stand the cold anymore, England is going to a be a culture shock and a climate one too now.
Thanks for reading,
Elder Killian
