Wes is in Florida...

Wes made it to Florida on Dec 2nd.  Don't forget to visit the Mission blog at www.floridaorlandomission.com to see other pictures from the mission field.   Here is his latest post about the first week in the field...

thanks for all of your love and support! well the plane ride was crazy over the ocean and all of that stuff! but we landed in the miami airport and went straight for a burger place! oh food glorious food! it was truly heavenly!... :) then we saw the guy from the old star trek movies commander Sulu! but i couldn't remember his name....so if any of you have a picture and know what his name is i need to know! jk but it would be nice! haha then on the flight to orlando i gave the guy sitting next to me a pass along card! and i was super stoked cuz he seemed really interested! then we met the mission prez and went back to their house and had some more GLORIOUS AMERICAN FOOD!!! (i love america!) and they had the softest carpet in the world! and they had the nicest beds in the world!....it was a good day! and it was just awesome cuz the air here is so clean smelling compared to mexico and the weather is soooo nice right now! it just feels like this is the place i need to be right now! anyways at the transfer meeting i met my trainer whose name is elder sanford! and he is really cool! he has been out for 18 months and is a great guy! we dont have a lot in common but i do know he is a crazy doctor who fan...so if any of you guys could give me a run down of what that is so i can know what i am talking about maybe that would be nice too!!! hahaha but ya i have just been like following him around trying to get the hang of missionary work! and it is so crazy! i cant even remember the names of my investigators! we teach new ones every day it seems! but that is good! i have been assigned to the poinciana north area which is supposed to be part english and part spanish, but seeing as i have taught about 95% of my lessons in english i am beginning to wonder why i went to mexico...hmmm just another one of the mysteries of god i guess! haha :) but i love my area and the members so much! we are only a branch down here and the members want to become a ward soooo bad and they want a building to worship in sooooo bad! (we meet in an elementary school! loco!!!) but they are so helpful with the missionary work! and they feed us a lot too! ;) and it is GLORIOUS FOOD! :) (america is the best place in the world!) we have a car every other day and then we bike the other days! and i love my bike! even though it is hotter than Heck riding it! and it is the middle of december!!! so it is definately weird to think that christmas is actually close! it definately doesn't feel like it here! but we had our first baptism this week (no thanks to me, it was all the elders before me!) so that was really cool! and i am just adjusting to missionary life as it is! and everything is doing great! if any of you want to write me, my mailing address is,
