THE SUN IS MY BEST FRIEND
Amigos, Familia, Buds,
Homie$?
I LOVE YOU GUYS!
First of all, HAPPY
FATHERS DAY! Shout out to all the awesome BBQ-ing, sideline yelling, awesome
DADS out there! But especially to the one that God blessed ME with! Ever since
I came into this world you have been graciously sharing EVERYTHING with me. I don’t
think I could ever repay you! love you!!!
Another awesome
miracle-packed week in the Sunshine State I love this place! So
much!
Naples is so pretty and
its so easy to be happy here. Even in the super Latin parts, it’s so pretty. I
feel like God blesses me through humor because seriously every single time we
are knocking doors or just out contacting something hilarious happens and
Sister Isham and I are caught up laughing. A little bit ago we were out
knocking in the top of our area, Bonita Springs, and we walked up to this house
that was all run down, there were like 7 cars just everywhere all over the yard
and a family outside half in their garage and half outside just chilling' out
cooking some kind of carne. And so of course we go up and talk to them and we
are like 2 minutes in when we hear "HOLLAAAA" and we turn to our
right and there is this grown man sitting in this nasty kiddie pool, fully
clothed, holding a corona light in his hand with 3 more just floating there. He
was extremely interested in the gospel...or two white chicks speaking
Spanish...but we decided that maybe he wasn't in the best "state" to
hear the restored gospel at that time and gave him a card with the address of
the church on it...he'll come haha.
OH! EDNA! Guys, Edna is
the best! We were over eating dinner at Hna. Chaparros house (my mission
grandma) and as we were about to leave she told us about her friend that moved
here with her husband and two boys from Colombia 8 days old with absolutely
nothing. Turns out that she lived right across the way from her and that she
had already invited and committed her to come to church this Sunday with her
(boss member missionary). A day later we taught her and the spirit was so
strong. During the closing prayer we were all almost in tears. She came to
church with her family and loved it.
I want to share one of
my favorite scriptures this week. Its all about PEACE. I feel like my idea of
peace has changed completely over my mission. Everyone we talk to is searching
for it and the only way we can actually have true peace is through the gospel
of Jesus Christ.
"Peace I leave with
you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let
not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
May we all try a little
hard to be "peacemakers" through sharing the message of TRUE
peace.
I love you all! Have a
great week! I pray for you all every day! Keep being good, okay?
