Florida storms! It lasted all night! Just a small snippet of it.
storm each day which will cool it down into the 80s! We had transfers
this week and got to meet all the new missionaries in the Zone when we
had interviews with President Cooper. We had an exchange with the Port
Charlotte Elders. I went with Elder Shakespeare who came out the same
time as me. As we were driving down the freeway there was a ginormous
crash where two semis hit each other and there was huge slabs of
granite all over the freeway. So everyone had to slow wayyy down and
it was pouring outside. We were pretty much stopped but the man behind
us didn't see the traffic and rear ended us. It was very minor since
he was also going very slow. One of his kids in the back seat was even
still asleep haha. He was super awesome though and was actually super
excited to see us. We got his information and the Port Charlotte
missionaries should be teaching him. One of the first things he said
was "there's no such thing as coincidences is there?". Crazy! We have
a family of 6 that we have been teaching. They were supposed to come
to church but sadly didn't show up. But instead we had a former
investigator just randomly show up. He hasn't been for almost a year.
He has a true testimony he just couldn't be baptized because of
circumstances beyond his own. But most of those have resolved
themselves and he really wants to be baptized so we are praying
everything will work out for him. The last time I saw him in person
was over 4 months ago. Another crazy miracle!
Also I forgot to add we just found out since they took the sister's
out of Venice (the area below ours) that we will also be covering that
area. So we are currently serving in three areas! Better to be busy
then not have enough things to do right? Haha. The WML there is
awesome! He just moved here 6 weeks ago and has an amazing story of
what led them here. He actually also went through Leukemia very
recently, it was awesome to see how the Lord will prepare you to
connect with people in ways you couldn't plan for. There's a man there
named Patrick who will be baptized the beginning of August. He's
hilarious! He's super excited about his baptism though. I'm loving the
work and I'm excited for the things to come!Thanks for everything! Love you so much!! Have a great week!
