Can you believe that March is already over?! This week was pretty good. Last Monday Elder Funderburk bought Monopoly, so we played that for a while. The crazy thing is, it had no monopoly money!!! It just has credit cards that you use! What's this world coming to?! Tuesday/Wednesday we did a trade-off with the elders in Macclenny. I stayed up here with Elder Lehman. He served here about a year ago, so he got to see a few familiar faces. We found some pretty cool people, along with the usual weirdos. We've been here so long we've started to re-tract what we had when we first got here, so it's weird to remember who's going to come to the door before they ever do. How is it that I can remember that, but I forget people's names as soon as they tell me?! Thursday I was on a trade-off with Elder Funderburk (who's one of my roommates) and we pretty much just tracted all day... but no one was home. It was slightly depressing. But then that night a member came with us for what was probably the sweetest lesson of my mission. We were teaching 2 brothers that were SO prepared to hear the gospel. The Spirit was SO strong. Our member trade-off, Kyle, was sharing his conversion story (he used to be a Baptist and now he's getting ready to go on his mission), the Spirit was superstrong, and he invited them to be baptized... and they said yes! I've never had a member do that before, but it was AWESOME!!! Sunday I had a clutz experience. I got out an altoid, turned to offer one to Elder Christensen, and somehow in the process dumped every single one of them onto his lap and the floor. White powder went flying everywhere! I was laughing so hard! Anyhoo... that's about it. Hope to hear from y'all soon. Love ya! -Elder Borgia
