So Many New Friends!

It's been a wild one ladies and Gentlemen!! Nothing better than seeing God fullfill his promises!! This week was amazing!! It's truly a blessing to serve here in Florida! I'm sorry for not going into much depth with these stories, but just know they are amazing and each has been an amazing experience! 

As for some wonderful miracles this week!!! We are teaching an older couple named Joe and Joyce and we had a wonderful lesson with them this week! Their faith is growing and they are wanting to learn more and more. We hope to set a baptismal date with them soon! They invited their daughter to come to the lesson and she was very interested to learn more! The daughter even came to church this Sunday for the first time!! We had 6 of our friends we are teaching come to church! 3 of them were first timers! All from different families! 

One guy that came to church today only had one lesson with us. We found him by knocking on his door and then having a quick church tour with him. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he was so antsy to read it! He left on a trip that he was very scared to go on because of past bad decisions.  But he read the Book of Mormon everyday while he was away and he said that he felt so safe and felt so much peace. He even sent us a picture of the Book of Mormon in his suitcase before he left on his trip!  He was so excited to be at church yesterday and he told us about his experience! He will be coming next week and we will be seeing before Sunday! 

We also had a part-member family we are teaching come to church today as well! The husband loved it and even made very insightful comments during our Priesthood session of Sunday School!! He told of how he knew Joseph Smith was a prophet.  He was so happy to be there at church and is so excited to come back! We will hopefully be setting a baptismal date with him as well! We showed him the baptismal font after church and talked about how we baptize by immersion just like how Jesus Christ was.  We met with him after church and plan on today as well!  

Wonderful miracles have come as Elder Kehl and I have prayed with faith to find the prepared and worked diligently to find them! I know God answers prayers and will help all of us to find the elect! 

This week in church I gave a talk on the blessings of the Book of Mormon.  It was so great to have so many friends there visiting!  I was able to look at each of them as I talked.  Elder Kehl and I serve over 3 wards.  We go to 2 sacrament meetings each week because we can't fit all 3 in.  

I want you to know that I know I'm not the best missionary in the world, but I try to be; and I know because of Christ, He can help me strengthen my weaknesses. I know He helps me because Christ needs me to bring many to the knowledge of the truth. 

Love you all and I'm sorry I couldn't go into to much detail. Thank you all for your support and prayers!!
