Transfers were this weekend and both Johnson and I are staying. We get along well and teach well together, so we're excited for the transfer.
We went to chronic taco this week. When we were in line there was this guy sitting alone in a booth and Elder Johnson complimented him on his shoes. Then the guy says, "y'all look like you play basketball." We get talking to the guy, turns out he's Nick Anderson (who played with Shaq and Penny Hardaway on the Orlando Magic team that went to the finals). He's working in the Magic front office now. He gave us his number and said we could hit him up whenever we want free tickets to games. So if you want Nick Anderson's number just let me know lol.
I sang/played Silent Night with a ukulele at a ward relief society event. I wasn't expecting the whole ward to show up when I agreed to doing it, but pretty much everyone was there (including multiple investigators). It went well though.
Ray surprised us with a bunch of presents. He read to us a journal entry he had written about how much we've helped him, how we are like the sons he never had, and he said the Spirit prompted him to make this a special Christmas for us missionaries. It was like Christmas morning as the four of us opened a bunch or presents from him. I have been so lucky to teach some of the most amazing people on my mission.
Today we were playing basketball with some other missionaries and some trash talkers came up to us and challenged us. Little did they know, they were basically challenging the Florida Orlando Mission all-star team. Yep, we best them real easy.
We had a zoom devotional with Elder Rasband and Sister Radband. Hearing an apostle testify is quite a testimony builder.
It seems like we only have really good days and really slow/hard days, without much in between. We're grateful for the good days though!

I have a lot of pics this week, including a pic with my new homie Nick Anderson!
