Long Trip

This week was a crazy week. We had a lot of things happen. The beginning of the week we spent Preperation day in Fort Pierce, and ended it trying to have a baptismal interview there, but it fell through. The next day we had district training and then we had an exchange. Then the next morning we drove back to Fort Pierce, to pick up Elder D, and from there drove to Boca Raton, where we caught a ride with another trainer to Plantation for a trainers trainees meeting. It was a crazy long day, and we didn't get home until 6. Then the next day we had to be in Vero Beach to do another baptismal interview, which went great, but put us back in Okeechobee around 6:45. It was a lot of driving. We some how were able to do just about the same amount of work though as a normal week. The Lord blessed us as we were trying to help out other missionaries, and trying our best to work the little time that we had here in Okeechobee, it was a great experience to see how he can make sure we get work done, even if we are not there as much. One street we knocked, and then we had to give a member the sacrament, but Elder D this time said 1 more door, and after the reinvite to be baptized on a date she accepted to prepare. She was super excited and I was so happy to see Elder Dmaking that point. We have been so blessed, and I am so grateful for all the opportunites that the Lord gives us to become better, and to have success. I know that he cares for us, and he is watching over us every second, and wants the best for us. He has prepared a way for us to succeed, and as we continue following his commandments, we will have his guidance to reach that success. I love this work, and I love you all, thank you for what you do, and the support you give me
