Hey Everyone!

| After 2 days of riding a bike... |
This week I got to venture out of my area. I went up to
Brooksville/Spring Hill area from Tuesday till
Friday. They only had their
bicycles in that area. In total during that exchange we probably biked 55
miles. MY THIGHS BURN! But it was totally worth it. We saw some awesome
miracles.
One downside however was that I foolishly locked Elder
Harper and my bicycle to a pole and then accidentally lost the key. Whoops. So
the other elders in the area let us borrow their bikes for the next day and
Elder Sites brought up my spare key when he came to pick me up. That was a
pretty funny but embarrassing moment. Luckily there was a nice sense that they
were safe because we couldn't get them unlocked by hitting the lock pretty hard
with a hammer so if someone stole it then they deserved it because that
probably took a lot of effort.
Some of those miracles consisted of teaching Moroni's
promise to a guy after we knocked on his door and he told us he
"knows" about Mormons and him accepting a copy of the Book of Mormon
and told us he'd read and pray to learn if it is true.
Another would be Colleen. She was driving down the road when
we were biking home and honks the horn like crazy screaming "Hi
Elders!" Then flips a U-turn and talks to us and asks us if we can come by.
She used to study in Gainesville, just north of our mission border, and she and
her boyfriend are interested and is glad she found us.
Next would be a couple of people we are teaching, Connie and
Tom here in Hudson. We teach them every Sunday and we went by and Tom told us
that since we left the Book of Mormon at his house last Sunday he only read it
that night. He also told us that now he is 30 pages into the book and excited
to read more but doesn't have the time. We left them both with a commitment to
read more, to be baptized, and that we can teach their family and they accepted
each one.
Finally would be Kimberly. We knocked on Kimberly's door
about a week and a half ago and she was kind but didn't have time to meet. She
went and got us a powerade from inside though. We went by yesterday and she
comes to the door and says, "Hey Elder May and Elder Sites!" which is
weird enough because everyone usually just says Hey Guys or something but she
remembered the Elder part and our individual names. We sit down and start to
teach and she tells us a few miracles she has seen in her life and how they
have built her testimony on prayer. She has even witnessed a priesthood
blessing given by a doctor to a patient that needed to be hooked up to a
machine to breathe, heal her immediately and she didn't need to anymore. We
explained how the Spirit feels and she knows what it is and is going to be
looking for it when she prays to know if it is true. She set a date to be
baptized as well. SO AWESOME!!!
On a final note, I got a call today telling me I will be
transferred south to Clearwater to teach more of Gods children there. I am so
excited. A feeling of excitement and nervousness all at once and I LOVE IT!!!!
Here is my new address if anyone would like it 1802 Sunset Point Rd. APT. E
Clearwater, FL 33765.
I love you all! Continue being so awesome! You're in my
prayers! Talk to you next week!
Love,
Elder May
