I have a son!

So this was an exciting transfer meeting. I am now training Elder D, who is from Spanish Fork, Utah. He is an amazing Elder with lots of heart and is looking forward to his mission. He loves what he does, and is making a lot of progress very quickly. Not only that though, but I am now District Leader here in Okeechobee, never been done since Okeechobee was opened to work like 3 years ago, and for good reason. We had a baptismal interview this Saturday, which fell through when we got there, and we spent 70 miles to go to the middle and back, and they spent 70 miles to pick us up and bring us back. It was a little crazy, but we will get it all worked out. It is going to be a lot of fun here. We had some really cool experiences. This Friday Elder D should have his first baptism, so he is very excited. He is a very good Elder. The first day he invited 3 people to be baptized, and is always working to be better at what he does. He also is not afraid to talk in the lessons, so he will learn fast the things to say and what not to say. We had some powerful lessons, and I am very grateful that he was there to back me up. We had some disappointing things happen, but we will be able to continue onward I believe. We are really excited for this month and all that we are going to be able to do together, and for these 12 weeks coming up. We have 2 hour companionship studies again, so it is a little weird, but we have a lot to do in that short amount of time, so we are working hard. We have had some really good spiritual experiences together. One day we finished a street of harvesting, and we decided we needed to do a little bit more, so we started biking down to another place, and we saw a man on the other side of the road, we stopped by, and left a blessing with him. He accepted baptism, and also came to church this Sunday, it was really awesome, and Elder D is really excited about it. We are just working really hard here, and I am so grateful to the strength that my Savior gives me. We have felt it a ton, and seen it change so many peoples lives down here, and I know that he is always watching out for us. He knows us, and loves us more that we can possibly know, and I know he will support through anything that we do that is righteous. i love this gospel so much, and I love you all. Hope to hear from you sooon
