Hey
everyone!
This week has been pretty awesome. For one we had general conference which was
so good! We were able to watch each session with a different family in the
ward. They love missionaries here! So that was great, they all fed us food too so
that was a bonus. It was nice to be able to get to know them better too. I
don’t really like picking favorites, so I’ll just tell you a few talks I liked.
I liked Elder Rasbands talk in the Saturday afternoon session about how God does not work by
coincidence, but by divine design and guidance. Also Elder Nelson’s talk in
that same session about the Book of Mormon. It was very powerful and the
question he asked, “how precious is the Book of Mormon to you?” made me reflect
on how much it really means to me. There were a lot more that I liked too,
they’re all good and like Elder Anderson, I encourage all of you to study these
talks in the coming weeks and months.
As usual, we have also done a lot of finding this week and having lessons at
members homes. We had quite a few people to follow up with this week as well
from the previous week, but sadly none of them were home when we stopped by. We
did meet some really nice people this week though. 2 couples in the same
neighborhood let us right in to their house when we knocked on their door. They
asked us all about what we do and were able to give Books of Mormon to each of
them! We will go by this next week to see how they are doing and to teach them
more. So that was pretty exciting. We were supposed to meet with Ricardo again,
but he had to work a lot of hours this week, we’re hoping we can meet with him
soon.
As my subject line says, this week is transfer week and we just got the call
today as to what’s happening. Elder Kennelly and I are both staying in Palm Harbor!
The only thing that really changed for us is that instead of being on full car
we are now on car share with the Clearwater Elders. So we will get the car
every other week. I really hope they find us a new apartment soon because we
live 4 miles out of our area and that would make biking a lot more tedious than
it needs to be. We will see what happens though! Oh, also a recent convert from
Seminole just moved into our ward and he has a son who was taking the lessons
and is getting ready for baptism. So we will start working with him and picking
up where the other Elders left off. They are super humble, I’m excited to work
with them!
Also, a super cool member family (the Cannons) took us out to dinner this week
to a Japanese steak house. They cook the food right in front of you. There were
flames and everything! It was awesome, the chef was doing all sorts of tricks
with his spatulas and the food. So that was fun. I’m looking forward to this
next transfer, I feel like some great things are gonna happen. I hope you're
all doing well, I heard Utah is getting cold. We are still enjoying the heat
and humidity over here in Florida haha. Have a great week everybody, love
y’all!
