How’s
it going everyone?
This week has been a pretty good one. Sadly we haven’t been able to do much
more service after the hurricane. Most everybody has their yards picked up
already and everybody we offer help to declines it. I was surprised how fast
everything got picked up. Now there are just tons of huge piles of tree
branches and stuff in front of everyone’s house waiting to get picked up. There
were a lot of members from within our mission that went down to Naples this weekend
as well as last to help with recovery efforts there. They got hit pretty bad
down there so there is a lot to be done. We only had sacrament meeting
yesterday due to most of the members being there to help. We got power back to
the church building on Tuesday when we were
there having district meeting. So at least we are back up and running!
This week we have just been hitting the pavement all day everyday. We have
knocked so many doors this week, and it has paid off! We only get maybe one or
two people a day that will listen to our message. So we are having a bit of a
slow start, but we are getting there. We have really been trying to get to know
the members. We have been visiting them in homes and sharing messages with them
and inviting them to use social media to share the gospel. We will see how it
goes! We did get an awesome referral this week from church headquarters. His
name is Ricardo and he met missionaries in Orlando at a funeral that he took
someone to. They taught him a little bit about the restoration. So we called
him and set up a time to come by Sunday before church. He was super excited to see us. He knows
the Bible very well and he said that he is excited to read the Book of Mormon.
He just wants to take it all in! He said he will read about 3/4 of the Book of
Mormon by Tuesday and he will call
us haha. He loves to read. So it will be interesting, I’m excited to work with
him.
General conference is this weekend! I feel like we just had the last one a
month ago. I’m looking forward to it though. Conference is the only time that
you can sit for hours and watch tv as a missionary. It’s a nice little break
from walking around in the heat all day, and we get to hear from our prophet,
apostles and other leaders which is a blessing. I hope you all watch it and get
something out of it. I encourage you all to come to conference with a question
in mind and listen to the speakers. You will find your answer and you will feel
like that talk was just for you! It works, I’ve done it. So yeah, that’s about
all this week.
Shout out to my mom who had a birthday this week! I love you mom!
Well I really
hope y’all have a great week and enjoy conference. Thank you all for your
support and for praying for the people down here affected by the storm. They
feel the Love! Love you all.
