Wassupp Friends and Family,
January 25: Today we went and visited our amazing Relief Society President Lizbeth and it was cool to hear her testimony of the gospel and her conversion story. She really does so much for us and for the branch and it was cool to help strengthen her and to truly show her our love for her and also the love the Savior has for her.
January 26: Today at FHE we found out that Bory is super artistic and yesterday he went down to FAU (Florida Atlantic University) with Lizbeth so that she could finish a school assignment and while he was there drew this massive whiteboard artwork of the temple and inviting people to call the missionaries to find out more. Like what the what seriously how cool! (No one called us but it was still a great idea)
January 27: Today we got to teach Gloribel and taught her about the Gospel and she told us how she knows there is something different about our church and her old church and how she knows the BoM is true and so we invited her to be baptized and she accepted which was so cool. She is currently preparing to be baptized on April 10th which is a little ways away but we are working with her to move that date up a little.
January 28: Super cool today!! We were knocking in this area that is commonly knocked by the Elders near us but the second door was home to Sherwin. A few weeks ago the Elders had prayed with Sherwin to find a new job because he had been out of work for several months and after that prayer like a week later he found a job. He had been looking out his window all day looking for the boys on the bikes when we knocked on his door. He told us that he wanted to thank those Elders for their prayer because it truly helped him. It was amazing to see what happens to some of the people we pray with who are not currently interested in the gospel. It helped me to realize that we cannot always see the difference we make but God does and truly no effort on our behalf is wasted.
January 29: Today we went and taught Victoria who was found by the Sisters up in West Palm. She is so prepared for the gospel and had amazing questions. Also super cool she is telling her sister, her best friend, and her boyfriend all about our discussions and she wants her mom to come to church with her. Seriously she is elect and has been prepared by God. Another cool thing happened today we were knocking in this apartment complex and we were knocking on a door when this Cancer Quacker started walking towards us very determinedly. (Cancer Quackers is a common nickname for the really ugly ducks down here in Florida - I bet if you good Florida Ducks you'd find a picture) Well these ducks absolutely freak me out so we went through this door to the other side of the apartments. We started knocking the doors and got to the top of the building and crossed back over to the other side and the first door we knocked on was Yhetta's. She told us that we were an answer to her prayers. Crazy thing if it hadn't been for the Cancer Quacker we would have knocked on her door before she was home and had said her prayer that we were an answer to.
January 30: During weekly planning we were looking in some binders that contained old former investigators from like 2011-2013 and found a lot of awesome kids who would now be YSA. One of the now YSA kids was dropped as a child because the mom didn't want them being taught but they were supposedly golden, so we decided to go see if they still lived there and were still interested in the gospel. We didn't find the former but instead we found YSA paradise where there are apartment buildings filled with tons of YSA. It was amazing because while we knock we find families but are also trying to find YSA and our area is hard because though we have a couple colleges there isn't really a lot of campus housing we can knock and so finding a YSA apartment complex was a major miracle. Thank you former investigators!
January 31: Another awesome day at church. Today was crazy because 3 minutes before church started we found out that the speakers didn't show up and so me and Sister Erickson were asked to give talks to fill in. So with about 5 minutes of prep I got to speak for 15 minutes. It turned out alright though which is good but seriously missions prepare you.
Well I love you all!
