February 8: We had an Amazing Race at the mall doing a scavenger item for things (ex: Guy with greatest Duck Dynasty beard, how many Miami heat snap-back hats at lids, throw a penny in the fountain, etc). Then we went out to work.

February 9: Today while knocking we had two crazy cool miracles. We were knocking doors near a member and this YSA answered the door and said of course we could say a prayer with him. When we invited him to church he already knew where the church building was and who we are because his friend had invited him to basketball at the church. It was super cool to see how this member had reached out to his neighbors just to invite him to an activity at the church and as a result when the missionaries knocked on his door he was really friendly to us. Also as we were headed to our YSA activity we decided we should knock for 15 more minutes and had this apartment complex near the church in mind. As we were driving there I felt that we shouldn't be at that complex but the neighboring one. As we drove into the complex Sister Erickson felt we should knock this one building. The third door we knock on was a less active YSA that no one knew about and she wants to come to church. She came with us to the YSA activity and the branch welcomed her in with wide open arms.

February 10: Today while knocking we ran into another less active YSA that no one knew about. We seem to do that a lot finding less actives that no one knew about and they are mostly people who want to come back to the church. Also crazy knocking experience. We were up in West Palm Beach knocking and we decided to OYM this guy. As we walk up to him and offer to say a prayer with him he says he has seen us before. So we assumed he has seen us knocking there before, but nope he saw the two of us in a vision/dream sort of thing. We got super excited and were pumped to invite him to church and be baptized and learn about the gospel and all that but nope he said he doesn't define his relation with God. But super funny maybe one day he'll meet a different set of missionaries and decide he is ready.
February 11: Today we taught Michael the restoration and he is so cool and has such amazing questions. Its really cool to see how God prepares people to be ready for the gospel. Also our YSA are so cool and love bringing their friends to activities which is awesome because then they can ask us, the missionaries, questions about the gospel.
February 12: Today we went to stop by our investigator Nico's house because his dad canceled his phone because he is taking lessons from us. Well Nico wasn't home but his sister was and told us that Nico would not be learning anymore from us. So sad how his family won't let him make his own decisions. Cool thing though, this less active recently decided she wanted to come back so we got to meet with her and we taught her cousin who was there and now she wants to learn more about the gospel.
February 13: We taught Neoline today the restoration and she is excited to learn more. Also I set a new record for the number of hours I knocked.....5 hours knocking doors. Also today we had stake conference and the YSA choir sang and we got to be apart of that.
February 14: Happy Valentines Day!! Today we taught David about the gospel and it finally clicked for him. He has been coming to church every week for the past two months and he finally has decided that he no longer needs to learn about religion for his school but for himself and so we might be able to set him with a baptisimal date this week.
February 15: Cool miracle! Yesterday this guy Thomas called the church to find out how he can learn more about it and a member actually answered the phone that always rings but no one answers. Well today we went and taught him and he is so cool. He is going through rehab right now and decided he wanted to have God more in his life. Being in rehab he hasn't met a Mormon and figured we must have our life figured out. Also all the Mormons he's met have all seemed happy with their religion so he thought he might just try it out. So that was super cool.
