This last week was really great! We got to play volleyball with some of the other missionaries in the District for P-day. One of the Elder's is from Mexico and he use to play a lot back home, so it was a pretty good match-up between he and I. We were able to stay fairly busy throughout the week working, but the best part was this last Friday.
We woke up at 4:30 AM in order to make it up to Tampa by 8:30 AM for a mission-wide conference that we were having. It was 32 degrees when we woke up. I think that is the coldest it has ever been since I've been here in Florida. The meeting started at 9 AM and we had Elder Zwick from the Quorum of the Seventy and Brother Hemingway from the church missionary department. We received about 2 1/2 hours of training from each and it was all amazing!!! Everything that I came with a question about was answered, and the spirit was so strong. Even when the meeting had closed and everyone was filing out of the building, no one spoke or broke the silence. It was really neat. When the meeting was over, we only had enough time to drive home, have a quick dinner and then go to the church for the movie night. We did this in the gym and had a bunch of chairs and couches set up. We had about 18 people show up and I absolutely loved it. The movie was really great and inspiring and at the conclusion of the movie, we did a question and answer segment where anyone could ask a question to the missionaries about their missions or missionary work.

I hope that you have a great week and that all goes well.
