Hello all family and friends!!
Twas
a great week!! Had a lot of fun!! Hope y'all have been doing well! I
have been getting all South over here and I have been saying y'all so
much lately! Dang southerners and their weird English!! I have been
missing the good ol' weird Tampa people! They say some words super
weird! Like for instance, they call the "streets" the "Screets." The
other day we knocked into someone from Tampa and they we telling us
about someone down the street and she said "screet." I was so happy! 😂
Good ol' Tampa!We had a great great lesson with Ozzy!!! He said he prayed about Joseph Smith and feels good about him and his story. We invited him to read the Book of Mormon more and this next visit we are going to invite him to church!! So we are super excited about him!!
We
also were able to see David and Wendy! We gave David a Priesthood
blessing because he has had some health issues. He really appreciated it
and was very happy for us doing that! They are moving soon and we
invited to help them out. Hopefully, through all the craziness of
moving and health issues, they can find some time to read! They haven't
really been able to read and pray because they have been busy but we
promised them they would find peace in reading the Book of Mormon. So
hopefully they do read!
We
also had a great MLC (Missionary Leadership Council)! This is a meeting
with all the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders. I was also able
to meet the new Mission President. He is awesome! He is from Texas.
In fact, he was Hannah's (my sister-in-law) Stake President when she was
growing up! At MLC, we discussed the mission and what the next step
for our mission would be! We are trying to unify our mission more and
keep our attitude the same and keep the culture the same! The Florida
Tampa Mission has a great culture of obedience and hard work!! We want
to keep that for sure!! It was amazing to talk with and discuss
missionary work with the legends (the great Zone Leaders of the mission
that have been around for awhile and are awesome missionaries)!! Sadly,
Elder Hall will be leaving this transfer! I saw him there and we took
some pictures! I love Elder Hall and hopefully we hang out after the
mission!! I also saw Elder Lewis! I love him too!! Thank goodness he
won't be leaving for a while so he and I will see each other often!!
Elder
Dye, my companion, and I had a wonderful Saturday! We had another baptism!
She was so ready and excited to enter the waters of baptism. We also
met these two great people yesterday that have been searching for the
truth and just want to know which Church is right! How fabulous that
they were searching for exactly what we are prepared to teach them! We
shared how there is a prophet on the earth and he speaks for God! They
were very excited to hear that and want to learn more! They are excited
to come to church this Sunday!! We are going to try to have a church
tour this week with them before they come to church so they will know
what to expect and better understand the ordinance of the sacrament.
As
you can see,it's been a great week with some awesome miracles!! I love
serving the Lord and being His servant! I love being able to study the
Scriptures and learn more! As you know, I have been reading the Isaiah
chapters. The chapters of Isaiah 11 and 2 Nephi 21 are great!! It's
been great to study those in depth!!
I love you all and hope y'all have a great week!!
