HACE FRIO!!
My goodness, I am
seriously freezing. There was a serious cold front that came in (mean like
60-80's) all week. I even had to break out my sweater and we ate soup at
Panera! It’s been crazy.
What a GREAT week. This
week was different than any other. I just felt the spirit so much stronger this
week. It was a noticeable thing. It funny how sometimes that's just how God
works in our lives, sometimes he’s just right there sitting next to you and you
can feel and it know it and other times he is still right there but you just
can’t notice it as much.
Right now, we are
teaching a woman named Evonnie. She is seriously the cutest. She requested a
free bible and we went to go deliver it to her. We sat down and talked to her a
lot about the Bible and what it means to her and how it can help us in our
life. She really opened up to us about so much that is going on right now. We
had such an amazing lesson after that. The most amazing thing to me was the love
that I had for this woman. It wasn’t like anything I've ever felt before. The
spirit was so strong in the lesson and we all just left each other speechless.
She actually told us that she had met with missionaries a while ago but it
didn’t feel the same back them. She recognized that God has been preparing her
for this time right now to get closer to him and learn more about this church.
She is just such a cool woman.
This past Sunday I was
reminded of Gods individual love and care that he has for each one of us. We
got a member referral from someone up in the Palm Beach ward of a guy named
John Lee. We called him as soon as we got the referral and spoke to him on the
phone, just getting to know him and introducing the church to him. We invited
him to church and he gladly accepted. He came to church this past Sunday. The
miracle here is that at the service every single thing from the talks that were
said, the prayers that were offered, our other investigators that were there
and the comments they made, and the songs that were sung were perfectly
tailored to him. He kept saying "this is my mom’s favorite song"
"this reminds me of my mom". His mom had just passed away a few years
ago and he hasn't been to church since. He recognized that his mother ways talking
to him. It was such an amazing reminder to me that God is well aware and loves
every single one of our investigators and takes time to make it special for
them.
ROBERT GOT BAPTIZED!!!!
It was seriously the most stress-free baptism that I have ever had.
this whole time we've been teaching him has been amazing. He is just
so solid. His baptism was awesome. There was some crazy tropical storm and so
for a little bit it was looking like our members weren't going to make it but
there wasn't an empty seat in the room. It was so awesome. Robert is such an
amazing kid and has taught me so much about resilience and faith.
We also had a boss ward
Halloween party but also ward parties are the highlight of my year as a
missionary. It was super fun and all of my recent converts came and it was just
so great. We had a chili cook off and a trunk or treat and everyone got really
into it. Sister Dimond and I dressed up as a Floridian Tourist, everyone
thought it was pretty funny!
That’s all I have time
for today! I just hope you all know how much I love and pray for you every day!
XOXO!!!
PS if you want to send a
sister missionary some of your left over 100 grand bars from trick or treating,
I wouldn't complain!
