Hello Family!
This week was crazy! We didn't get to work in our area alot this
week. There were SOO many meetings. Leaving our area Tuesday evening and not
returning until Thursday night. . BIG chunk of time gone. . and then a meetin
Friday morning. . lots of drive time! We also went on a temple tour Friday
night. . so ALOT of time was taken this week.We did see ALOT of miracles on
Sunday though! That was the day we saw alot of our investigators and taught
lots of lessons.
My heart broke this week. We had to "drop"
Robert! I cried LOTS!!! Cus he loves this so much. He loves coming
to church and reading and he wants to be baptized soo badly. But with
discussion and prayers we came to the conclusion that we can't be spending any
more time over there until his divorce really happens. . that was Saturday
night. . and the hardest part, he was in church the next day with us. Just
talking about it makes my heart hurt. I probably wont ever see him again. We
saw Gerald, he accepted a soft baptism invite but no date we learn that
his health is going down hill. He wont go to the doctors. . irritating. We are
still teaching Shane he is on his way to recovery! Positive response to our
lesson last night! We are still teaching patrick and sarah. Patrick can't get
baptized until he is done serving all his time in jail. So we have no one with
a baptism date. Stephen King accepted a soft baptism invite and received his
answer that he does need to get baptized! We gave him a date but he nows needs
to pray about that.
We thought we weren't going to have enough time to email
lots. . or even write letters for that matter. A guy that is in the ward, I
think I mentioned him. . died this past week and his funeral is today. . this
morning. but it was too far away for us to drive ourselves. So we ended up not
going. I was sad! Big time. He died from turberculos (sp?) TB. really rare.
Lets see. . 7-11 was this past week (we got free slurpees from 7-11. . I didn't
drink mine cus I was too sick!). I was super sick, I actually went to the
doctors on Wednesday. . Sinusits. . my head was about to explode! I should have
gone to bed and slept all day. But being on exchanges with Sister Kerns, a new
missionary there was no way that I would have done that to her. So instead we
WORKED hard all day. The miracle. I prayed the whole day. Every time we were in
the car I was MISERABLE! but every time we got out of the car to teach or go
talk to someone. . I no longer thought of how I was feeling. Power of using and
leaning on the Atonement. That is the only way I was able to get through the
day! I love how that works! Alma 7:11. I love it!! We saw tons of miracles in
Eustis! I was so happy to get back to my area though at the end of the two
days!
Here is the news: My companion and I are pretty sure I am being
transfered. So dont send anymore mail to Daytona Beach. She will be training a
new missionary. I love this area though but I do feel in my heart that this was
going to happen.
Sorry this is short. Like I said there was lots of meetings and
driving. . so not much happened. but this week will be one of FINDING
people and seeing MIRACLES!!!
I love you all so much and hope that you will have a safe and
productive week! May you find someone to share your testimony with about the
restored gospel!!!
Day two of the Eustis exchange. Stronger than yesterday. Sister Kerns and I.
