Dear Family and Friends!!
Ah I can't wait to tell y'all what's been
happening this week cause it has been full of miracles!! Right now we are
actually sitting in McKay Peirs grandparents home because they are serving a
senior mission here in Fort Laud! I'm actually on Sister Peirs iPad right now!
It's crazy for sure!
The words of the prophets always gets me pumped for doing missionary work!
I love it! Last night we actually got the transfer call and both Elder Hall and
I are staying here in Fort Laud South! I'm very excited to stay here in Fort
Lauderdale South for at least one more transfer with my amazing companion Elder
Hall! We have a lot of exciting things happening here in our area and are
definitely seeing the Lord labor along side us every single day. The miracles we
are seeing here by the hand of the Lord make me stand in aw all the time!
Last week was amazing but ended on a sour note due to most of our baptisms
falling threw. But we pressed foreword with faith knowing that the Lord was
along our side always! We also set out to be even more obedient this week by
reaching eight blessings by Wednesday as well as getting home at nine every
night. For we knew that by being exacltly obedient we would recieve even more
blessings from on high and we definitely did! On Wednesday we only had one
blessing and we set out and the Lord preparing seven homes for us to bless. Then
we saw the indirect blessing flow in on Sunday! The family that was suppose to
be baptized last week overcame a lot of trials this week and entered into the
waters of baptism. They all exclaimed that they felt relieved of all of their
burdens when they came out of that water and can't wait to recieve the gift of
the holy ghost next week! We also had a part member family where the son was set
to be baptized. We had been teaching him for a while and his desires have always
been sky high. We also always heard about the other son but never met him until
they brought him to church this
Sunday. But we had thirteen non members at church so we were super busy
and didn't really get to talk to him much. Then after church everyone was
sitting in the chapel waiting for the baptismal service to start when I felt
very prompted to invite the other so to be baptized today with his brother! We first met him three hours ago and
never even taught him but I couldn't argue with the Spirit and invited him right
there! He accepted and was baptized with his brother and it was amazing! We
always must be exactly obedient and listen to the Spirit and by doing so
miracles always come forth!! Not only in missionary work but in ALL things in
life! This week we had a total of seven baptisms and I know that we can see
miracles like this in our individual lives as we are exactly obedient and always
listen to the Spirit in all things!
I love this work and am very excited to see even more miracles here in Fort
Lauderdale South! When ya send mail to the mission office they just transfer it
to our apartment and it only takes an extra day so you're good to send mail! I
love y'all and can't wait to see more miracles in y'alls lives as well as in the
mission field!
Return With Honor!!
