hey! so tomorrow is transfer day! i get to stay in Sarasota and get a new companion! Elder Robinson. he has only been out for 2 transfers so only one longer than me haha so that should be interesting. neither of us will speak much spanish. but i'm happy to stay here. we made a lot of headway with a few families this past week so i am thinking i could have a few baptisms to plan soon! we set a tentative date with Alejandro and Patricia Hernandez and their daughter who will be turning 8 in september. they just need to get married and they will be set! they are really funny; in church they participate like members and come every week. some people don't know they aren't members haha! the other hernandez family that we are teaching is actually going really well too! Pasqual, the father, is a member but his "wife" (they need to get married too) is devout catholic. she is super stubborn about but she finally admitted she does't know it's true. she finally agreed to pray sincerely and i think she'll be baptized soon. after like 2 years of studying with the missionaries! this week we reached our goal to teach 120 lessons this transfer!! 120!! that's 20 a week which is really really good for this mission! that was really exciting! so last night we stayed the night at the Zone leaders apartment which was a lot of fun. we went with them to do a few lessons and had a really good time.
