Hounds of Vandy

Hey all ya'll!

Well this week has been crazy and it's transfer time again! I know this was a 5 week transfer and it was weird and super short. Well the good new is I'm staying in Vanderbilt Beach!!!! Even better news I'm going to be companions with Sister Neeley (who I basically lived with in Miami)!!!!!!



#ThrowbackTuesday - Sister Neeley and me at Wynwood

Well in other news this week has been awesome! We did a lot of finding as well as focusing on helping our investigators to progress towards baptism by helping them overcome their concerns. This has also been a crazy week because our investigator Zonquez was supposed to get baptized this last weekend (it didn't happen) and so we did everything in our power to help him do that. We even staked his house out for 1.5 hours because we didn't have contact with him because his phone was dead. We tried our hardest to get his Mom Tyronica to sign his baptismal papers (since he's only 15) but she is the hardest person to get in contact with. Also found out his sister is super baptist which typically means anti-mormon. So yeah it has been a crazy week trying to get everything ready for Zonquez to get baptized in the next few weeks so that he can be able to receive all the blessings of the gospel. 

Also cool miracle! We were knocking doors in this apartment complex after a meal appointment. and God directed us perfectly to meet this former investigator who had gone to church for 2 years but hadn't been baptized because he was waiting for his parents to sign the papers, well he was super excited to see us and we are excited to work with him and help him to prepare to be baptized.

In our mission we do service every week and so for the past 5 weeks I've been volunteering at Harbor Chase this cute assisted living facility and have got to meet some super cool people. We talk with them, play bingo and uno, and always have a good laugh.

Also last p-day we went to a place called the Rookery and got to see real life alligators in the wild!! I was so excited!! I've been dreaming of this since the day I got my mission call to South Florida!!


Well love you all!!!!!
