Private Blog Time...

Hey all! Michael is doing great. I haven't gotten any letters from him lately, which makes me annoyed since I spend the entire Sunday writing him:( Ha ha, just kidding. He's super busy and loving what he's doing. As far as his health, he hasn't mentioned it in a long time so hopefully that means he's doing better? Anyway, I decided that in the interest of internet safety, I will be making Michael's blog private. That means that unless I enter your email address, you won't be able to read all of the incredibly interesting things I post :) So... If you would like to continue reading about all of the great things happening in Florida, post a comment with your e-mail address and I'll add you to the "list." (Sounds official, doesn't it?) 

Thanks!

Michael's Health

For those of you who don't receive e-mails or letters from Michael, here is the scoop since I haven't been able to copy and paste his whole e-mails lately.

-He and his companion are getting along well. They live in some nice apartments and are liking where they are.

-He and his companion are contacting like crazy. He says last Wednesday they contacted 163 people- more than any other companionship in their whole zone did in one week.

    "We challenged our Zone Leaders to challenge 100 people and so now we have this competition every Wednesday to contact as many people we possibly can. So far we have 6 new investigators because of it."

- They were supposed to have a baptism last Thursday but the girl couldn't make it to church. Then she couldn't make it to church again yesterday, so the soonest she can be baptized is the 18th. 

- They are trying to start up another Haitian branch in the middle of where they live. They need about 25-30 solid members to start a branch and they only have 6. 

-Michael's health has been declining and he is very frustrated. His ankle bothers him and he has terrible headaches. He has been taking whatever medicine he can and he will most likely go to a dr. soon. Please keep him in your prayers as he continues to battle his trials. He is loving his mission and says anytime he doubts that he is supposed to be there he gets an overwhelming reassurance that he is where he is supposed to be. We love him and miss him sooooo much!

More later

sorry to all of michael's faithful followers. I've been trying to paste his past 2 e-mails to his blog but it won't let me. It's very annoying. I'll keep working at it. Thanks!

8/11 Email

Today is my first official Pday, last week was a Zone Pday
where we watched any disney movie we wanted, ate food,
played soccer, just had fun. Right now since we dont have
a car we take the bus to church. Church starts at 10 but
we have to leave at around 7 in the morning to get there,
and then we dont get home until about 4, its kinda crazy
and very inconvenient. I have experienced the Florida
rain many times this week, well actually just twice,
Friday and Saturday. On Friday we were walking the 3.5
miles home from our baptismal date home and it started
pouring. It was ridiculous! I was soaked! the same thing
happened on Saturday! The roads were all flooded, it
was crazy! Everytime we go visit our baptism family
we end up walking about 10 miles round trip, so we are
walking about 15 miles a day and when we have bikes
its about 20 miles to 25 miles a day. It is really taking a
toll on my body, the MTC was a killer, and now its like I
have been out of the water for a month and go to a swim
meet, however, i am down to 176- a grand total of losing
23 pounds in just under 2 weeks. I dont know how good
that is at all, but oh well. Hey well everyone I love you
all very much! Be good, Keep me updated on all of your
lives! I love you
Love, Elder King
