Dear Family and Friends!

miracles. All Saturday and Sunday all Elder Burgon and myself could do
is talk about how amazing God has been to us. I love my Heavenly Father!
Also for the huge miracles this past transfer. And upcoming now this
transfer I will be STAYING in the beautiful land of Opa-Locka and Elder
Burgon will be leaving! I am super grateful God is allowing me to stay
here once again in this amazing area! Huge things are coming this
transfer!

But this Sunday
was a huge miracle because we were able to baptize six people! It took a
lot of work but God provided the miracle after we gave all we had.
Sitting in sacrament we realized that we had six people there who could
be baptized. But only two of them were set with a firm date. But we went
foreword with faith and got second interviews for a family that then
got permission to be baptized. That family of three was baptized! During
there second interviews we went and invited one of the other people to
be baptized that same day. She gave a whole bunch of excuses, but I
looked her in the eyes and said, "You need to be baptized and you know
it." She agreed and was baptized as well. Then the two who were set
walked out of Relief Society and said they had to go because their feet
were swollen up really bad. But we acted in faith and bore testimony
that God would give them the strength that they need to be baptized.
They stayed as well and were baptized. I learned a lot of lessons from
these huge miracle experiences. The most powerful being our motives must
always be love or it will not work. The importance of being led by the
Spirit. And how we MUST be bold like unto Peter in Acts 2!

The Zone is
doing amazing though as well! A huge outcome of that is us reaching our
baptismal goal of 30 baptisms in four weeks. This week we are working
hard to baptize 13 people and do what has never been done in any zone in
the FFLM in one month.
This upcoming
transfer I am excited for new things as well as new miracles and records
broke! This week I want to challenge you all to do something that you
have never done before and return and report!
My God is awesome!
With Love,
