This week we really started to work. Our calling will be to work mostly with members that have special needs that we have some ability to meet. We have 2 families in Quincy, FL that have language and literacy needs. In one family the wife needs to learn to read, write, and speak (to some extent) Spanish. Her native language is an indigenous language in Guatemala. Her father would not let her go to school. The husband of that family knows Spanish much better but needs to learn English so he can provide for his family better. The other family in Quincy is from El Salvador wants to learn English. We love to go to her house and teach because she is a good cook and refuses to learn anything until she makes us something good to eat. The pupusas are great. Also we have a new member in Bainbridge, Georgia that needs to learn the gospel better and English as well. So twice a week we go to Quincy and once to Bainbridge. We have also been visiting all the less active me mbers of the Liahona Branch and giving them sugar cookies. We have a good cookie recipe if anyone is interested. We love our families we teach.
The weather here in Tallahassee is quite variable. One day it will get up to 70 degrees or so and the next it will be down to 30 degrees at night. It is cloudy, rainy, or clear like most places but it seems to never be the same for more than a day or two. Certainly not like 2 weeks of subzero weather like in Boise. One day last week I actually had to turn on the air-conditioner.
Thursday we had a 1/2 mission conference in Panama City, FL. I understand they have nice beaches but we didn't have time to see them. But the conference was great. It is quite invigorating to share in the enthusiasm of 200 young missionaries.
