Man I don't even know where to begin, I guess I will start off with the beach party. We got there around 2 on Monday and the weather was perfect. We were one of the first ones there so we went out to see the beach. It was a pretty big beach and it was all white sand. After everyone got there we had a sand castle building contest between the zones. We build a huge pyramid with walls all around it and a big trench. It took a while but in the end ours won the prize. I'll send some pictures. It was so nice to just relax and have fun, I think it was very much needed. The only bad part is that I got a bad sunburn on my legs and the top of my feet, it hurt really bad for a few days haha. We had dinner there and played some games and left about 8pm. It was a good day.
The rest of this week has been really great. Now that we are having to go to the southern portion of our area we have been finding a lot more success. This was the best week that me and Elder White have had together. We taught around 40 lessons and most of those are new investigators meaning we set up a return appointment with them. We both just wanted to make his last week the best so we did and it turned out really well. Also on Wednesday evening we had a baptism! It went great, we didn't have any problems or issues with anything. I was very thankful for that. His name is Tony. He is such a great guy and will be a great member. He is a guy that would do anything for you if you needed help even if he didn't know you. We are now working with his step son and teaching him the lessons. Hopefully we can get him baptized so the whole family can be sealed eventually in the temple. It was a great way for Elder White to end his mission.
We came home early last night so that Elder White could pack, he has gotten pretty trunky. He is definitely ready to go home. I dropped him off at the mission office this morning and said my goodbye's. He was a good companion, didn't really have any issues with him which was good. He is planning on going into the Air force. He will go far in life. Now I am staying with the Temple Terrace Elders along with one other missionary until Wednesday when I get my new companion. I don't know how we are going to work it with 4 Elders but we are going to find a way ha ha. I am excited for the change, even though it is hard and brings stress, it's good because when you are being pushed the most if when you grow the most. I have had good companions so far, we will see how this next one goes.
This week will be an interesting one, I will let all of you know how it goes next week. I love to see the work hastening in my area, I will be taking over the area now so I hope that I can do well with that. I know that if I just put the Lord first in all that I do everything else will pan out, that doesn't mean it will be easy, but it will be the will of the Lord. whatever comes my way, I'm ready to face it. I hope that all of you can feel of the hope and strength that comes from the atonement like I have. It has completely changed my life, and it can change yours too. Have a great week everyone! I love you all.
Love Elder Hudson
