HELLO EVERYONE!
  There is sooooo much to report on and not enough time to do it. I wish I had faster fingers. . Or more hands. .then I would have plenty of time to get everything in that I would like to. First off. I thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday. Being in Florida for it was out of this world! Sister Lima and I went to the beach for our work out. . Hence the pictures :-) it was awesome. No sunrise was seen because it was foggy and cloudy. But worth it all! It was the best day ever!!! I can't believe that I am now 2. .5. . Ah sick! But everyone here thinks that I turned 22. So I will leave it at that. Ha-ha we had SIX gators at church this past Sunday! We couldn't believe it!! The Elders had three there. IT was the BEST day ever! Cecil and Rose with his sister Diane come! SO COOL!!!!! We hope that this week they will accept the baptism invitation. Mike. . Came to church as well. SURPRISED us and it was awesome. We also had Diana and Robert come! The ward is helping us! And it is so cool to see!! Magic right! The testimonies were also the best!! So good for EVERYONE in attendance!

 On Tuesday our gator Lenny- a big black man asked us if he could be baptized. It is so cool to see when people do what we invite them to the spirit can teach them when we aren't there. And that is what happened with Lenny.  There was a ward BBQ on Saturday, some of our gators went. Once again the ward members stepped up and talked with them! That takes ALOT of stress of missionaries when the ward takes people under their wing! I am trying to think of other things but Sunday was by far the highlight of it all!!! We are also teaching now a recent converts husband who is from Italy- he is catholic and doesn't want to change but watching the spirit work on him yesterday when we were teaching was incredible!! We also had the great opportunity to go to the CES Fireside last night- that was good and an awesome treat!

I love this work. I have so much to be grateful for. I hope you are all working hard and praying harder to have a missionary experience, I can promise that your joy will be out of this world!! I love you all and look forward to next week’s email when I can tell you of MORE miracles that the Lord is blessing us with here in Daytona Beach! This church is true and the Savoir Jesus Christ lives!
