Hello!
The new area that I am in is still in MIAMI!! It's a little more south and what not, still super Spanish.
Any way I don't know the address of this house BUT if you send it to the mission office they will get it to me. Let Grandma and Grandpa know not to send letters to that old address, they sent one and luckily the zone-leaders in Miami meet in the same chapel as we do and they got me the letter. My new companion's name is Elder T***** and he is from Saint George. He is really into bikes and has helped me fix mine because I haven't been riding it and it has started to need help. He is also teaching me a lot about how I should care for it and make it last longer, he's a cool dude. In the house that we live in there are 2 more Elders the Zone-leaders for my zone the H******** zone they are 2 giant dudes! Elders F***** and Elder L*******. Both sets of Elders are in the same ward, the Coral Reef Ward, my area's name is Coral Reef North. They have Coral Reef Central and then because this ward has been baptizing so frequently, we have 2 sisters in the South area, Sisters B**** and M*****. Sister B**** is from I think Utah but Sister M***** is from Equatorial Guinea which is in Central Africa... and her native language is Spanish, weird.
No, we saw nothing of the SuperBowl, but it made proselyting extremely difficult last night.
Our house was once abandoned, then rescued for the missionaries... we are still getting rid of the bugs... specifically the bed bugs! The only way to really diminish them is to steam your bed EVERY NIGHT, we don't quite have time for that, so we try to get it most nights. Yes, I got photos in the last apartment and with those Elders. I will try to bring my camera more, but I am pretty sure that that is how I broke my last one. P-days we go to the Library to email, that is another reason that it is difficult to send you pictures. These computers are slow and most of the computers are not worth wasting the SHORT time we have the computers. Don't worry, I am documenting the IMPORTANT parts of my mission. Specifically the baptisms and the companions. Also, speaking of people from the last ward there was a lady who was VERY disappointed that mom didn't accept her friend request! Shes all Spanish, but she knows how cool it was for her to receive a picture of her son on FaceBook from people that knew her missionary! So, maybe use Google translator and send her a message!
SISTER if you came up with all that Spanish, that's impressive, if you used a translator that's creative!! Thanks a TON.
Dad those pics were super cool!

We have a family of 9 that we are teaching, that 3 are planning to be baptized this week and the rest the following week. This week we had an incredible miracle with the baptism of K****. When I got in to the area we started teaching a young girl named K****, she went to church with a really good friend and the friend and her family really helped spike her interests in joining the Church. We basically taught her everything in 4 days and planned to have her interview on Friday. So, on Thursday we gave her the paper work to fill out and get her father's permission. Turns out that her father didn't know she was meeting with us and that she was wanting to get baptized. We had been told otherwise by the friend, S*******, and so 20 minutes before the interview it gets called off! We were freaking out trying to make this right with her father, but couldn't meet with him until Saturday night. We finally got to meet with him and we explain the situation. Well, he thought we were trying to date his daughter and what not, but we finally got him to agree to let her have the interview IF he was present so Elder F******* gave a boss interview and lesson to the father and helped him realize that the daughter was ready to get baptized and BOOM Sunday she was baptized! It was truly a transfer week miracle!! (This reminds us that we are sending boys out there who don't think beyond right now. Of course a Dad would not be cool with his minor daughter spending time with 2 older guys! Good Grief! They are learning their lessons!)
Anyway family, that was the extent of our week. It has been truly crazy.
I had to spend a little money recently, my bike helmet fell out on the freeway (Awwww, I have been wondering where the Tyler that we know and love has been hiding!) and I broke a part on my bike. Anyway, LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
LOVE YOU ALL!
