Tuesday

"Another Day In Paradise" 9/18/17

This week was amazing! 
On Monday, to pass the time productively, Elder Southway, the sister missionaries in our ward and myself took up painting. It really was fun.

Tuesday, we went down to Foley for district meeting. That is such a great district! We have awesome missionaries here. That afternoon we went on an exchange with the english elders of Foley. Elder Stilson and I had a great time working the city of Foley over. 

Wednesday, we were up early to head to Navarre, Florida to exchange vehicles. We gave up our Chevy Malibu for a new Toyota Tacoma. A very nice upgrade! 
We returned to Foley to do another exchange with the Foley Spanish Elders. This was super cool. I went with Elder Meidlinger, we had some pretty funny contacts. We got bashed by a Hispanic Pentecostal  I was standing there not having any idea what was going on but I could tell we were getting bashed haha. Elder Meidlinger was so confused on what just happened haha it was so funny.  

Thursday, I was back with Elder Southway. We had a busy day taking care of a ton of chores and making plans. In the evening we had yet another exchange with the elders from Theodore, Alabama. It was a fun night.

Friday, I went to work with Elder Farnsworth. We had some cool tracting experiences. We prayed to know where to go that day and felt like we should go to the park. Later when we went we found this lady and shared the Book of Mormon with her. She was super excited when I told her how the Bible Prophesied of the Book or mormon in Ezekiel. She was really interested. Later that night she texted us and told us that she was praying earlier that morning for direction. she already went to that park once that morning but she felt drawn to go to it again. She said she knows we were sent by God. She came to church yesterday and loved it! She is so excited to learn more! She was a miracle find!    

Saturday, we started with service loading a moving truck. The rest of the day was very productive and we got a ton of little things done. In the evening we had a great lesson with our investigator, Hunter. He is so prepared and anxiously engaged! In the evening we went to the church and had a huge volleyball game with a big group of people. 

Sunday was phenomenal.  She came to church on Sunday and loved it! She is so awesome. She has so much potential in front of her. We are looking forward to working with her. This Sunday was the primary program in the Daphne Ward. The children did such a fantastic job. The taught us how simple the gospel is. It is so simple a child can perfectly understand it and share about it. There was so much love in the room. The spirit was so strong. The rest of church was great. Very uplifting and very productive. 

This week we were all over the place with chores and exchanges. This week is going to be quieter for us. We are doing super well. Successes are falling into our laps. This is the blessing for diligence, steadfastness, and perseverance. 


Love, Elder Graham
