Week 11

Hello Family and Friends!!!

I have been able to see many blessings this week! As I go farther into my mission, I learn every day more about how to be a better missionary. I learn about how to help my investigators. A couple of things happened this week that I would love to share with you.

President Richardson informed us that we are having a new stake added to our mission. Fort Meyers has been added to our mission with 6 sisters and 24 elders. We are all SUPER excited for this new addition into our mission. I just want to go to transfer meeting just so I can see how crazy this transfer meeting is really going to be. I'm super excited to be able to have a new missionaries that we can be able to be friends with and we can help each other!!!!:)

Transfers are in a couple of weeks.... I'm interested to see how God wants our mission to be.

I am really happy to report about one of our families that we are working with. Liz and her family are progressing SO much! We have seen them every single day this week!! Liz and her son, Nicolas are being baptized on Saturday!! Guys, this is my first baptism in my mission.... and it is a family!!! I'm super excited for them. I love this family SO much!! We taught them about the temple. Oh my goodness! As we were teaching them, their faces got so much more lighter!!!! The spirit was super strong during that lesson. The Lords timing is great! Liz and her family weren't ready two years ago with the Elders, but they are ready now to participate in the ordinance of Baptism. God has softened the hearts of this family. Greg, Liz's husband, is almost ready for baptism, we are going to continue to work with him. And their son Marice is only Seven, we are helping him too!!:) I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!:)

I am starting to continue to understand why missionaries love their missions and the people there. The missionaries change with their investigators. They go through the troubles together. We are going to take Liz and her family on a temple trip in the next few weeks, so that they can experience that happiness that is on those grounds.

I love being a missionary!! It is super hard, but it is totally worth it!!!!!:) As my friend is in the MTC right now, I am so excited that she is going to get to be a missionary too!!! Lexi, IT. IS. THE. BEST!

I love you all so dearly!! And I send my love to Jack. I hope that he starts to do better!:) Have a fabulous week!!:)

The Mission!
