This was an interesting week.

This was the week of my birthday, and there were many thing that have shown me that the Lord is in this work. I received a call on Wed. from the mission mom, Sister Barry and she informed me of Arden. I cried for a long while and then went to work. in that afternoon we received 4 refferals, contacted three taught one member present and two other lessons and got four new investigators. When I told Sister Barry that the next day she said that the Lord must be telling me that this was his will. I will miss her and I hope to get a picture of her soon, but I know that she is watching over us and she is a choice daughter of God.

 

There was a district meeting on Thursday. I had gone throughout the week looking at the empty mail box and thinking, oh, I guess I won't have any mail to open on my birthday after all. Then at the end of the meeting the senior couple the Elliots announced that they had been by the office and had gotten all of our mail and the district leader handed me a card that everyone in the district signed!!! it was so sweet. I had one big package from my parents with earing and fruit and nut mixes! I was super happy!!

 

I felt like the Elliotts had become the Santa of birthdays!! So blessed.

 

Okay and I am so out of time, but I wanted to tell one more story. On Sunday we met a lady that is so funny and she is really amazing, but she says that if she ever gets a really good looking doctor at an office then she will dance and sing, "I'm too sexy for myself!" We both bused out laughing, we hope to set a date with her on Wed. :D

 

I really love ya'll so much and I know that the plan of Salvation is real and that we are all preparing to meet God in our own lives in our own ways.

Not much time sorry. . .

This moth was on our car it was great!

 

We had a very good week. We have a person--Ricky who is still working towards baptism and he is being fellowshiped really well with the young men of the ward. In fact we are planning on going to a volley ball activity with them tonight! So great!

 

We have been giving Book pf Mormons to families and inviting them to write their testimonies in them, then if they have someone they want to give it to they can do that or they can give it back to us and we can find someone who can get it. We have had people asking for more Books of Mormon and the reaction of the friends they have been giving them to has been of gratefulness so wonderful.

 

I have been wondering what is going to happen lately. We have been having really great missionary experiences (my companion played the Organ in Sacrament meeting for the first time ever--she didn't even know she could play the Organ!) I'm so happy to see the wonderful changes that are happening in this ward.

 

I love you!! I hope you can keep being a wondrous strength for me. I couldn't be here without y'all!!

Romney Visited and we didn't even know about it.

I love how huge the flag is!

 

I went to Ross! I was surprise that it was a lot like the one in Orem. My companion picked out the cute shirts and I was super happy that I found the jacket because we wear jacket to all meetings, (oh, and dad missionaries in FJM also are suppose to have parts. :D)

 

Okay, so my companion is a facebook missionary and so we got onto facebook and saw something that we had no idea was going to happen. Every time someone brought up Romney we always say that we are politically neutral and so the conversation usually changes, but we hear his name to day and when we got on facebook we see that he was visiting downtown St. Augustine, today! I was shocked, but that is what happens when you are a missionary, you don't ever know what is happening even right next to you.

 

It was so funny!

 

This week was really good we taught 25 lessons one of the reason that happened was because we had the sisters from Middleburg come and work with us for 24 hours, I was companions with Sister Santos and she was so wonderful, she is still learning English, but that doesn't stop her from teaching! So wonderful!

 

We even had an investigator walk 45 min. to come to church, he had to go home early, but he said he would walk back to come to a lesson, we got a member to go pick him up and they became fast friends, I love member missionary efforts it makes everything so much lighter!

 

 

Hi everyone!

The clouds here are so amazing! I love them! Everyday almost it rains at one point or another. So fun!

So, my companion is a facebook missionary again and it is so interesting that we have actually been teaching people online and we have been able to help people make mormon.org profiles and link it to their facebooks so people can click on it and learn more without having to actually talk to people first and getting people to look at mormon.org is really effective too! I am just so amazing at the many different ways there are to share the gospel! So great! We are so blessed to be in a time where we can use technology in so many good ways! To battle against the adversary!!!

So this week we had a lot going on, but we didn't really get to meet many new people, so, on Sunday we were visiting someone and my companion asked, "have you knocked on this door." And I told her no.

Almost as soon as the women had answered the door my companion pulled out her hymn book and sang Nearer my God to Thee. The spirit was powerful and the woman was in tears, she said that she had said a prayer that day because she had felt that she had gotten more distant from God and didn't know how. We then blessed her home with a mighty prayer for her children and grand children. She said that it was the best timing.

I know that God knows us and he is watching over us often through other people.

I love ya'll and thank you for your letters Kami, Teri, and emails! Shelia, Bert, Nick, Grandma Sheffer and Grandma Duncan!

If you can--I LOVE PICTURES!!! E-mailed pictures, snail mailed pictures, fried pictures ;) I love them ALL!
