Hmmm... What to say...?

Hello again from Florida!



Things are still going pretty good. Sorry for not putting anything last week. My library experience last week was quite frustrating and didn't make me a very happy person. But we're good now. :)


Here are a few things that have happened...



Oh the vine swing! In the backyard of the Spanish Elders little house, there are a lot of trees. And on these trees, there are quite an amount of vines. So we couldn't resist.

Then last week, we did a 'talent' shwo with the Spanish Branch. We did 'The day in the life of a Missionary.' We did record it, but it is currently not letting me upload it here. But I did put it on my youtube page. Here's the site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7sd_RMx8AI

It is in spanish, but you should get the gist. We had a lot of fun doing it. The person on the right is Elder Smith with Elder Pattie's arms and then Elder Barlow is on the left with my arms.

We had interviews with our mission president the other day. They went really well. Elder Pattie and I requested to stay together another transfer. We have been getting along great and having fun and working really well together. And from President Colton said, we think that it will happen. Transfer calls are on Saturday, so we'll find out then.

Since we have moved into our new place, (I will upload a 'tour' of it sometime soon, hopefully) we have been getting quite a few different things from our ward members. We now have 8 chairs, 4 couches, 4 lamps (few rooms have lights of their own), 2 recliners, a kitchen table, a very nice coffee table, and a desk. It's quite nice.

I believe that is all that I have for now. Hope everything is going well for you all!

Apollo Beach!



Hello again from Florida! Things are going really well for me out here. I am currently in my 3rd area with my 6th companion Elder Pattie. We are getting along really well. And also having a lot of fun. Cause if you don't have fun while doing missionary work, it can be a lot more discouraging. So we make it fun.

This is me and him in our 3 piece suits before a meeting. We think were pretty cool.


For the first couple of weeks of this transfer, we were living in a very small house with the spanish Elders in the area. The house has about 500 square feet of usable space. It was wonderful to have 4 missionaries, (the smallest being about 5' 10") with all of our luggage and other stuff. It was an adventure for sure.



Told you it was small. And cramped. But we are now moved out. We moved out on Wednesday. I don't currently have a video or pictures of it yet, but will next week. So stay tuned! But our new place is aweseome! It's a 2 story townhouse. 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, nice kitchen with all new appliances and new washer and dryer. It's great! We are liking it a lot more then the little house. We are still wondering what we are going to do with all the space. Haha!

So things are going well. If you have any questions for me feel free to comment or email me at landen.something@gmail.com.

Love you all!
