Hello Family!!

 I am excited to report to you all today on the wonderful week that Sister Satley and I have had! So many Miracles! So I hope I have enough time. . given how fast I can type. . .To tell you all about them! As far as the Pictures go, that can tell you that I came into this ward with two baptisms already set up. I got to see the end result of the journey these two wonderful people have taken. Greg and Megan! They are incredible. I have grown to love them A LOT! The baptism service was very spiritual. This week we were lead to 4 people. all referred to us by the wonderful members who understand member missionary work. So cool!! This is how missionary work is supposed to be. The members FINDING! MIRACLES! Their names are so you can start praying for them. . Josh F, Josh H, Nisha, Bee and Jojo. . . (one was already a gator) We love these young adults sooo much! The Bishop is already pretty cool. I am happy to be working with someone that is so missionary minded that the ward is on fire! I LOVE IT

Area 411:

 To be honest my whole mission I did not want to serve in this area (mostly cus it is full car and you NEVER BIKE) but being called here as helped me grow in ways (and I will continue to grow) that I thought already took place. Wrong-o you can NEVER stop growing! I am serving in the area that the temple is in. . it is such a great blessing to be here and seeing the temple every day (almost) we also teach many many lessons on temple grounds. It is home! I have felt Heavenly Fathers love for me in so many ways this week. I wish you could all be here to see and feel everything that is running through me. I have felt so close to the Savior this week to the point that I can hear HIM! Do you all understand this. . please understand that you can get closer to our Savior by sharing the gospel with everyone around you. I know you all work with people that aren't members. . INVITE THEM! I dare you :-)

A cool scripture that I read this morning, that I should have read last night. . . Doctrine and Covenants 34:6. So cool! D&C 33 is just as wonderful and incredible!

Sorry not too much detail on the miracles like I thought I had time for. . but our new gators came to us in miraculous ways. . trust me!

I love you all so much and hope that you have a fun filled week especially now that we are getting into AUGUST!!! EKK!!! Where did the time go? haha

This is what I saw during a car ride to the time!
