6 more weeks


Another 6 weeks in Okeechobee, itll be the longest I will have ever have been in an area! I am super excited for this one. This week we had an amazing week. The Lord just keeps on providing for us. We started out the week with some good exchanges. Elder Bj came here with me, and we did some good harvesting. We found some people to go back too, but overall, we didn't find anyone that I was amazingly excited to go back and see. We weren't able to recontact them during the week, and we were planning on trying back again on Sunday, because we had someone to visit up there anyways. Well Saturday came, and we were biking around, just not having much success, and I thought occasionally of trying to bike up north to see if they were home, but them we got a call. Elder D answers and freaked out. He handed me the phone and said, "He wants to be baptized, do something!" So I took the phone, and we found out it was someone who I had blessed with Elder Bj earlier in the week. He was dying to be baptized, so we said we would be to his house as soon as possible, it took about half an hour going as fast as we could. We got there, and he was solid, super excited and just really wanted to make some changes. We set him with a date, and he was super excited to read the Book of Mormon, and to come to church. He is still super excited to be baptized, and now come to mutual this Wednesday, and bring some friends. Elder D has also just been amazing in everything. One day I was using the restroom at the gas station, and I come out hearing him teach the worker about the Word of Wisdom. It was amazing to see him boldly testifying no matter where he is. We had tons of fun this week, and a bunch of other things happened as well. We are doing super good here, and I know that the Lord is watching out for us. I know that he loves each and every one of us, and he knows how to help us the best. He has many things prepared, and he always has doors opening for us to achieve the things he has prepared for us. I love Him with my soul, and I am grateful for my opportunity to serve Him. I love you all, and am grateful for your support, and all that you do for me.
