Week 16 in Brooksville

This week was fantastic just as they always are. The Kimmel family

that referred themselves online came to church again. Sister Kimmel

the non member accepted a baptismal date for the end of February.

She's been highlight her scriptures as she's been reading and writing

down all her questions as well. It's been a huge miracle to see the

fire they both have to be at church. The Johnsons were also there. We

had a POWERFUL lesson on the Restoration with Sister Johnson. She's

gone to church of and on for almost a year and has never heard of the

first vision. The spirit was very strong and she asked for a

Priesthood blessing afterwards. Brother Johnson seems timid about

sharing his testimony when we are gone, we are hoping he can help her.

She does seem sincere and the spirit was definitely felt by everyone.

We are praying she can make that step as well as the kids soon! We met

several other awesome families, one is another part member family not

on record who just moved here and have been looking for the church

here. She is the only member. They all are awesome! We know these

people and families are coming because of the Ward. They are taking a

lead in this work and are recognizing we are here to help them with

their missionary work. I've loved the shift especially just in Ward

Council where they have been talking about the people they have been

working with and how they can fellowship the people we have found.

Also, invite a friend to seminary was this week. That was a blast!

There was a lot of non members who came at 5:40am...crazy! Finally to

wrap everything up the week was great. We had another MLC focused on

our great commission which is to baptize. There has been a drop in

baptisms as a mission. Satan has been working extra hard and we have

some repenting we need to do. Thankfully we know before the brightest

dawn is the darkest night. Good things are coming very soon. We are so

close to helping so many make that sacred covenant! I love this

work!!!

I'm so glad to hear the papers arrived. I loved the gift cards! Maybe

some pants? I'm still size 34 waist and probably 30 length. I'm not

sure haha. Honestly I have plenty of pants. Sorry I wish I could think

of something specific. Anyways I hope you have a great week! Love

you!!!
