Wednesday

This week in the MISH 6/26/17

This week has been pretty awesome! We have had some pretty cool experiences teaching our investigators! We now have 2 Baptisms set in August! The missionary work is starting to pick up again! Not only is the work picking up but the heat is too! Not going to lie, and I never though I would say this but... I think Florida might be hotter than vegas! I was walking out of my apartment the other day and you just see this big cloud of steam coming off the ground! My instant though was oh no.. well there was no point in taking a shower this morning haha! The heat is ridiculous! Today has been super nice though! I just pray and hope it says like this! But we also have had some cool experiences! One of our investigators who we actually only had a lesson with him once which was yesterday. He recited to us the entire first 10 chapters of the Book of Mormon. Which was awesome! My companion and I were like ummm dang you can do that better than we can! hahah We then invited him to be baptized the first lesson! It was so awesome he happily accepted and was like I wouldnt be here if I didnt want to be baptized hahaha! It is just so awesome how through out his entire life the Lord has been preparing him to receive the restored gospel!  Reminds me of a Scripture in D&C 33:7. And for those who dont know what D&C is it just means Doctrine and Covenants. Just all the revelation that Joseph smith received from the Lord. So D&C 33:7 saying : "Yea, verily, verily, I say unto you, that the field is white already to harvest; wherefore, thrust in your sickles, and reap with all your might, mind, and strength." Through out my mission this scripture is so true! There has been so many people who just walk in our path and have been prepared to receive the gospel! it is amazing! The mission has been pretty sweet! Our investigators are pretty cool. Lee is going to teach us how to put in a rear axle in a car so that is going to be cool haha. 

Some crazy things that have happened this week. My companion and I were teaching a lesson and during our lesson the power went out then came back on. We heard that a storm was going to be rolling in but we dont have anyway to find out that info. So our phone starts to vibrate and we ignore it because we are in a super good lesson! so after we get out of the lesson and go to our car I look at the phone. Just to see 5 texts from the other elders and a missed call, the texts said, " GET HOME NOW!! TORNADO WARNINGS!!!"  So apparently a tornado touched down in our area and we had no idea haha! So that was kinda sketchy! Good thing no one was hurt and it didnt do a lot of damage! Now my companion and I wanted to go contact some Less active members and offer them some service. So we had an extra change of clothes in our car so we quickly went to the taco bell and had to change in there haha then we went to see a less active and offer them service and right as they opened the door  and I said hello! with a big smile on my face they slammed the door right in our face haha. Its not the first time its happened to us thats actually on the daily but we just wanted to do the yard work for them. We then went back to the apartment drenched in sweat because you know you stand outside for 10 minute in florida and you sweat just about everywhere haha! My companion and I just turn on all the fans and lay on the floor dying of heat haha! Gotta love the south! But  thats how this week has been! Hot! CRAZY! and FULL OF LOVE! Oh also  studying for a few hours gets exhausting so what do you do to stay awake you balance a chair standing up while studying on your bed! DUH doesnt everyone do that!? hahha Also while driving around we saw a mop just hanging in the tree.. because you know its florida and the south so yup!
