I love you all sooo much! I hope everything is going good and you've had a great week :) It's been a pretty good week here in Florida! It's getting hotter and hotter every single day haha which is taking a lot of getting used to being on the verge of sweating constantly even when I'm inside haha but it's alright.
The work has been going great! M is getting
baptized on Saturday and I am SOO excited for him! He has just been so prepared
for this and I'm so glad I got to be a part of helping him discover his purpose
in life. Since he started meeting with us he has grown so much, and pretty much
everyday he texts us and tells us something that God did to answer his prayers
:) He got a job that he loves out of no where, he's been doing a 2 week CNA
program which is super intense and he's been able to pass everything he's
needed to, and much more, but it really has made ME more grateful for all the
blessings that I have in my life :)
Mr. C, who I might have mentioned lost
his mom... commited to live the Word of Wisdom and
has been doing well with it! He's kinda hard to gauge... but since he's stopped drinking I've seen his
countenance change 360 degrees!! It's INCREDIBLE!! I think he really is
prepared to change his life and hopefully as he keeps trying to read and pray
he'll start to gain a real testimony of this stuff :)
Ok, cool story, we were
tracting last Sunday and came across a dad and his daughter playing darts and
as we asked if we could share a message he brought out his WHOLE family to
listen to what we had to say. We prayed with them and gave them a BoM, but
yesterday we had a return appointment and they had us over for dinner and the
whole shabang! The mom, made this incredible grilled chicken with squash
and mashed potatoes, hands down one of the best meals I've had so far (all of
it is SOOO good!) but the best part was we taught the Restoration, and we
really had the feeling that we needed to put emphasis on how the gospel blesses
families and we talked about how families could be together forever and they
thought that was incredible! They had honestly never even thought of it. . .so
they wanted a whole lesson on the temples and sealing and all of that haha they
were like "next time we can sit in the hot tub and drink slushies and you
can tell us al about it" haha it was funny. they are such an awesome
family and I really am excited to see what this gospel can do for their life :)
Let's see. . .I could talk about everyone haha but I just don't have time. We
had a lot of unexpected stuff come up last week. Poor Sister Mevs got sick one
day so Sister Payne and I spent the day watching "Together Forever"
from like the 80's and eating skittles haha it was so fun and I really adore
Sister Payne. We're gonna be friends for a LONG time :) I also had a new
missionary meeting in Orlando on Friday where I gotta see Hermana Harrison and
all that stuff! It was a good time :) Uhhh. . .other stuff I wanted to tell you
about was just funny haha Like the fact that Sister Payne is in love with
Scotty McCreery :) and really they would be so adorable together haha and
M thinks I'm the really life Hermione Granger which pretty much made my
entire life :D
