Hey everyone,
So this week has been pretty good. Through out this week we have been doing a lot of service. For about a couple days the majority of our time was spent doing service, which was awesome. We later on in the week hade a trade off with the the zone leaders in Navarre.Which is like right by gulf breeze florida. We had a lot of fun with the ZL's. Missionaries get to eat free at this sea food place, oh my gosh... It was soooooo good! I love sea food! During the trade off we had some great opportunities to share the gospel with others and it was really cool to see how well people take it. We did have some people where they just did not care about us at all. But they just aren't prepared to receive the restored truth yet.
On our P-day last week we played some sand volleyball! We have a sand volleyball court in our apartment complex and oh my gosh!!! They have the best sand I have ever played on! So every time we play volleyball with our zone people are like I want Elder Graham on my team. Its just funny cause I don't go all out and play. I am afraid ill hit a sister in the face so I don't really get to play my hardest haha its all good though it is still so much fun. We later went fishing in our backyard, we caught like 10 fish but we just did some catch and release. Hopefully next p-day or sometime we will get to go fishing in the ocean!
We have sadly had a lot of appointments fall through which really sucks but its okay because heavenly father directed us to other places. We had like all of our plans fall through on Friday and so we decided to go see a less active and he ended up not being there. So we go back to the car and decide the pray specifically on who we should go see. During that prayer I received some kind of answer because the numbers 86 or 68 popped in my head. Once we got out of the car and started to walk on of the first houses I saw had the number 68 on it. We were almost walking past it when I then told Elder Christensen "lets go to this house" so we knock on the door and no one answers. We then ring the door bell and I see someone walking to the door. He opens the door and he was like so happy to see us it was kinda weird. We shared the Book of Mormon with him and he was like super excited to read it. It was just a testimony builder to me to see that heavenly father really wants to answer our prayers, we just have to be willing to listen.
Later this week, actually on sunday the same thing happened we did not know who to see after church. We got a prompting to go see this potential investigator that told us to come back in a few weeks. So we decided to go visit her. As we pulled up we saw a couple out side on the lawn. We get out and happily say hello. We go to their neighbors house the lady who we were trying to see and they shout they aren't home they just left. So we took that as an opportunity to share something with them. we simply strike up a conversation with them and they say something about religion so we started to tell them who we were and what we do. We asked them if we could share a message with them for just like 5 min. They said okay and we started to teach them the restoration. They were soo amazed and agreed with everything, I then recited the first vision, her eyes just got so wide and she was so amazed and the spirit was sooo strong! We gave both of them The Book of Mormon and we didn't stop right there the spirit told us to tell them about how we have a living prophet today that leads and guides this church. They were so amazed that when we left they were saying to us thank you so much oh my gosh he has answered our prayers. When we got in our car I look over at them and he was already reading in The Book of Mormon. It was so amazing!
SO that is what happened this week! For todays P-day we are going to the NAS museum. Its on the Navy base. A member in our ward has connections to the Air Force Flight Simulators so we are going to go do that today! I am so excited its gonna be so sick! haha
Also sadly this week we had a death in our ward. His name was Brother Jones, we got a police escort to the naval base which was super awesome! We got to be apart of a funeral service on the base. It was such an honor to be there and see them fire their rifles and fold the Flag. After they folded the flag and gave it to the wife of Brother Jones, a F-16 flew super low and right over our heads, it was sooo amazing to see that! AMERICA!
That was my week, so I hope yall have an amazing and blessed week!!! I love yall
Love, Elder Graham
