Continued Push for Excellence

So this past week was an alright week. Not the best teaching week we have had, but it was alright. We found an awesome family this week that we are super excited to be teaching. Totally thought that they would be coming to church, but they didn't, which has kind of been our biggest fall out here since I've been here. We are always out inviting and committing, and trying to get people to church, but we just keep falling short. This week we really tried to get our members involved, because we have been a little bit bad about that, so we really tried, but almost all of our appointments fell through, it was kind of a bummer bringing people out with us, and not being able to teach. We found a lot of new people though, so we should be improving in how much we are teaching. This week we got trained on this little black box that is in our cars, that is called TIWI. It tracks all of our driving and it tells us when we are doing stuff wrong, it is kind of weird, but I guess it will help some drivers be safer. Whenever we get cut off (happens alot here in Miami) we have to slow down a bit, and we are always saying "TIWI dont get mad!!!" It is funny. So we also have this one investigator that keeps telling us that he is going to bring us back to CUBA with him so we can share the gospel with all of his friends. He is super solid, and wants to get baptised, but we works until basically the beginning of church, and doesnt usually get home until a while later, so he is working on his license now, so hopefully he will be able to get to church that way, and then he said he is also going to drive us around to all his friends so we can convert them too. He is a pretty funny Cuban guy, he speaks SUPER fast though, so some times I still dont understand him. My Spanish is starting to get better too. I am finally back to basically being able to understand anything that people say, and I am getting better at talking more fluidly too. Elder T is good at Spanish so he helps me a lot. He has been told before he is better some natives. It is pretty cool. Well thats our week in a wrap I guess, it was a fun week, went by super fast. Oh yeah, we got a call last night saying that we are getting a new companion this week, on Tuesday. The only weird thing is if we are training him, then he was most likely not assigned to this mission at first, or he is a Creole Elder, which would be weird since there is not very much of that around here. So some exciting news, but super psyched for it. Thank you all so much for your support, and everything you do for me, I love hearing from you all. I know this gospel is true and I love it so much, I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior, and that he loves us so much and wants each and every one of us to come to him and take upon us his yoke. I know that God prepares people for us, and if we watch and try, and we can all share the gospel with those around us and always give them a chance to feel the full affects of the Atonement in their lives as well. We have an awesome recent convert for that here. She gives away a pass along card every week, and is always sharing what she has found. I know that the gospel is for everyone, and it is the only way to recieve all the blessings God has for us. I love you all, and cant wait to hear from you, and hope to hear about experiences
