Last week of June

Picture one: from the fountain of youth
Picture two: me and Kim (I love her!) 
We went up to Georgetown for trade-offs again and I was able to see Kim! (my recent convert)
 
There is much that we can learn from others. . . I went to Atlantic Beach's as well, (I think that was the fifth time that I have been there and I have never really had it as an area) Sister Mccraken says that it will be my area one day. I loved it though and the new sister, Sister Heckle is so wonderful and we got so see many wonderful people. I had such a wonderful time of working with the other sisters.
 
In our own area we didn't have much happen though because we were not here, but the Bishop asked us to speak in sacrament meeting and it was so lovely! I spoke on mentoring (having members read with investigators every day in person, or through skype or phone. Sister Mathis spoke on the ward mission plan and what members can do to be a part of it all. People kept telling us how much they liked our talks, it was wonderful.
 
So, this month I am out of money (Walmart charged my card for all of it instead of splitting it) The thought of not getting any food was in the back of my mind yesterday, then we went to the Wood's house and she said, "The Spirit has been telling me that I need to get you some food." and right there she gave us hot dogs and buns--which we took and ate at the church, then she called us today and asked, "I'm at the store, what can I get you?" Such a wonderful blessing.
 
The church is true and the Lords' promise to his servants is also true (where they have no need to worry about how to get food and what to wear). I love Him!
 
I love all of you too!

June!

I was able to go to George Town GA this last week! And I got to see Kim! It was so amazing and strange to see all the places I had spent months in. Because Sister Mathis is a Sister Leader we were able to go!
 
We also had a sister leader come to visit us and it was amazing! After one day we had three new investigators and we had two more later that week from what we did durning tradeoffs! I love it. We have really been working on getting out and talking to everyone! We have been counting it and reporting it.
 
I don't have much time because we went to the doctors this morning, don't worry everything is fine and I hope you are all doing well.
 
Oh, side note. I drank from the fountain of youth! I will live forever! (through Christ--after I die) :)
 
I <3 you all!
 
Sorry no pictures this week, I forgot my camera, but this is from my comp's camera!

Rain

The sign is as you leave a parking lot of a Baptist Chruch. So great!
 
I think it has been rainy everyday out here since the tropical storm. (my shoes are always wet from the rain.) It might start out nice one day and then it will start to poring down. The work here has been moving slowly and I feel like I need to learn a lot here because I am having a hard time.
 
I like to think of a song when it rains, "at the end of the storm is a golden sky and the sweet silver song of a lark." Yesterday it stopped raining just as the sun was setting and there was a beautiful double rainbow. It was so perfect. I have so much that I will come to understand and it is through the scriptures and the gospel.
 
I guess all I can do sometimes is to just keep swimming.

June week 1

I have been able to meet with many wonderful people this week and we have been able to see many members that we had hope to meet with.
 
Oh, Transfers are Wed. and I will be staying with Sister Mathis, this is her second to last transfer. Sister Fitu will be heading home. So strange!
 
My area is right next to the Ocean so, it is pretty cool (weather wise).
 
We have been talking to a lot of different people this week and it is so intersting to listen to them. So many different stories. We were even able to listen to an after death experiences. (I love those they are so amazing!)
 
I have so much more to learn when it comes to missionary work and how we can bless people's lives! I have been working on my finding. :D 
 
We have an investigator, Mimi, who lived in the forest of Hawaii for a year by herself. She said it brought her really close to God and she realized that we really don't need all the things that we have in our lives. She is so amazing and she was like, "Oh, so the Book of Mormon tells of how the Native American's learned about God." I love it!
 
I love ya'll and I hope you are doing very well!
 
 
Picture 2: this is the fortune that a woman in our ward got. She laughed. (She is from Germany) :)
