ASL class officially started this week and it went great! Next week, we may have more people come because Bishop is encouraging all members, especially the priesthood brethren to learn the language. Right now, it's just Sis. Homer and I teaching, but we're trying to invite our members to help out so they can teach their own language to us.
We've been on bike a few times these past few weeks. So far, we just bike over downtown to visit the Library and Lynx Bus Station for contacting. It takes us an hour to bike downtown from our apartment, we spend about two or three hours there, then bike back. It's a fun morning activity! I survive biking there, but biking back always takes forever!
We also found a random street near our apartment that always has peacocks and peahens wandering around the front yards of those homes. Funny, huh! I love to random wildlife of Florida! We also run into a lot of Sandhill Cranes that aren't afraid of anything!
My new apartment address:

‘Make no small plans: They have no magic to stir man’s souls.’ This is the vision I have for the South. I believe that one day the South will baptize more people into the church than all other English speaking missions in the world together. There are great hosts of marvelous Baptists, and members of the church of Christ, Methodists and Catholics who are honorable people, and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and love him. As they see their church veering off to the right or to the left of these basic teachings, they will begin to search for the truth. And as pivotal teachers come into the church and have influence, we will see the time when we baptize hundreds and thousands, tens of thousands. In your day you will see a million members of the church in the South. There will be Temples plural in the Southern States. What a great call you have to serve with these marvelous people. ~Spencer W Kimball (1974)
