Well happy 4th of July to all of you friends and family! It has been a pretty good day for us here in Florida as well. We had a ward pancake breakfast in the morning that we went to and had a lot of fun. Ward activities are my favorite. It is just a fun time with the ward members.
Our Mission President, President Cusick, got replaced this past week. The new Mission President is President Cooper. We had a meeting where we got to know him and he is a really good guy.
We had a really good week. I felt like either the work had been slowing or the enthusiasm was slowing because the past week was a little difficult for us as a companionship. We went on an exchange with the Zone Leaders and I was able to speak spanish again for a day. It was a great exchange and we were both able to improve. After that we have been really doing some great work and seeing miracles.
Kevin who we had been teaching for a while got some anti information from friends and got stuck on revelations 22:18 and wouldnt drop it so we had to drop him. It is so sad because he has been to church and felt the spirit and he has felt the spirit reading in the Book of Mormon but doesn't care anymore. It all hinges on the Book of Mormon.
Before I had mentioned a family that we found through the non member husband who we met in a parking lot. Well turns out that the ward can not find Coral's, the mother of the 6 kids' records. We will have to re baptize her so that will most likely be within the next couple weeks.
Miracle time! Anytime we see someone walking down the road and we are driving in our car we just pull over and yell at them to come say a prayer with us. We did that to one lady and she came over to our car and prayed. After the prayer she was in tears because she had prayed the night before to have God put someone in her life that would help her improve her life. It was powerful testifying that we were put in her path for a reason. Miracles like that happen all the time. Unfortunately satan works really hard on them after that and it is usually hard to get in contact with them again and then they forget the miracle that happened. Really though they are not much different than all of us. We all forget the miracles God gives us when the stresses of life come in. We are too busy with work or think we dont have time for God or some thing bad happens and we complain. It is sad but we all do it. I would say every day even. I am really working on not complaining to God and really giving Him the respect that He deserves.
