What A Difference A Week Makes With The Corona Virus!

Dear Friends and family,

I'm not in the mood to write this letter right now-we have so much to do today and I'm so tired. But because my Mom wants me too, I will!

This week was sweet!! We had some great lessons! It's been a little crazy for the whole world about the Corona Virus. But I'm straight chillin' our here in Florida! I have modern-day prophets and apostles on my side!!  I feel peace and keep praying that peace will overtake the panic and that faith will rise above the fear!  I actually have seen blessings because of the virus!  I knew the Lord knows what will happen and that He is in control!  

One of the ways the virus has brought blessings is with our investigators.   We have several people on date for baptism this month.  Since they need to come to Sacrament meeting in order to be baptized we have to think outside the box because there is no official Sacrament meetings being held because church is not meeting at all due to the virus.  What a difference a week makes!  Well, we have contacted various ward members to ask if they could have us and the investigators over to hold Sacrament meeting with them.  They have all been wonderful and have been excited to have us!  You see, sometimes investigators aren't able to attend Sacrament meeting because they work but for the next several weeks, the time isn't an issue!  We are able to work our in-home Sacrament Meeting around our investigators!  Blessings!!

Our Mission has been fervently praying to find the elect that are read to accept the Gospel or for them to find us missionaries.  Well, the Mission has had a "Miracle March" and we have almost doubled the number of people we normally baptize.  I know this is a direct result from our faithful and fervent prayers! More Blessings amid this craziness of the virus!!  

We had a good lesson with our friend Ray! He believes the Book of Mormon to be true! So now we are trying to work with him on setting a baptismal date!! 

We also had a super cool church tour Sunday night! We taught a women who has been praying to know which church to join. We met her a few weeks ago- we happened to be on her drive way when she came home. She loved the church and felt the Spirit very strongly! She started to cry when we talked about how God listens to prayers. She has been reading the Book of Mormon as well!!! She is awesome! 

Love you all have a great week!! Sorry for the short weekly email!! Thank you all for all the things you do for me!!! I love you all!!!
