Harvesting South Tampa Area!

Hello Family and Friends!!!

I hope all of you all doing good!! Thank you so much for all of you that send me updates! I love hearing how all of you are doing!! 

So this week was pretty sweet! I got my new companion Elder Lewis! He is super cool!! Love him! He is the new Zone Leader. Since my last companion was the Zone Leader and he was transferred to a new area, Elder Lewis was called as the new one.  Well, Elder Lewis kinda looks like

Taylor Lautner, the guy that plays Jacob on Twilight!! He is a pretty good looking guy! lol Me and him are pretty tight! We jam out (as far as missionaries can "jam") to this one song called Harvester!! It's super good!  It is by Brandon Heath, a Christian musician.  Harvesting from "sunrise to sunset" is what we do as missionaries!  We are the harvesters of South Tampa! Elder Lewis is from Canada!!! That's crazy but thankfully he has American Pride! He lived right on the border of Canada and America so he came across a lot!!  I'm happy he is patriotic or I was going to have to whip him into shape!!

Okay so funny story this week we were walking around and met this guy who believed he was actually the arch Angel Gabriel!! He was crazy! 😂 We tried explaining to him that he couldn't be the arch angel and how the Book of Mormon is Gods word. Well let's just say he wasn't changing! Super funny guy though. I know Tyler met several people like this on his mission. 

We have had some fun interactions with people this week! I really like street contacting!  I just love talking to everyone!  We ran into some anti-church people and we were able to soften some of their hearts and share truth with them! That is always good. We found 10 more potential investigators that we will be teaching!  We are so pumped to visit with them! 

We had some super sweet lessons too!! Okay, so you remember we are teaching this couple Heather and Joe?! They are awesome!! So last lesson we invited them to pray as a family- which is super foreign and very different for them. But they did it!!!! They prayed together for the first time ever!! They had such a touching moment and grew so much stronger together.  It's super cool to see them grow closer together!! This next week we are going to be doing a church tour with them hopefully!! 

We had a lesson with David this week as well!!  So we were going to set a date for baptism but we felt like waiting for until this week! We are going to show him the baptismal font and set a date with him at the church! He is doing great and is so excited to meet with us again and continue learning! He is a miracle!! 

We have some pretty cool things going on here. I love it!!  Thank you all for your support! I am so grateful to be the servant of the Lord! I know miracles still happen today! Unbelief is what keeps them from happening! Love you all and hope you have a great rest of your week!!
