Hi y'all!!
Another amazing week here in St. Augustine!
We are still dealing with the
aftermath of the hurricane, and I feel like I wore my yellow Mormon helping
hands shirt more than I did my missionary clothes all week ha-ha. We do about
15hrs of service every week, and this week we were doing house demo basically
the whole time. The days are crazy though...we wake up and do our studies, go
swing hammers at dry wall for a few hours, then teach in the evenings! It’s
been an exhausting week but I've loved every minute!

On Wednesday we were out doing
service with our district. It was for a lady named Kathy that just called the
crisis cleanup hotline and so we went to help. Her garage had flooded and she
needed all of the dry wall torn out. When we knocked on her door she was so
surprised at how young we all were and kept saying, “These Mormon babies are
ripping out my dry wall!!!!" She kept coming and checking on us and being
so cute and at one point she said, "We got Baptists and Mormons out here
working togetha.... WAHOO!!!" hahaha It was so funny. While we were
working this guy walks up and starts talking to Kathy and she's just ranting
and raving about how she thinks it's so awesome to have these missionaries
working on her house. The guy asks if he can take some pictures of us and then
asks if he can get our full names and where we are from. We were kind of
weirded out but then he told us he's the publisher for the St. Augustine Record,
which is the main newspaper out here!! They did a live feed of us on their face
book page and he said he wanted to include us in an article they're doing on
the hurricane cleanup!! It was super cool and we were all so happy to get some
good publicity for the church lol

Along with doing tons of service we
had some AWESOME lessons! Saturday we were planning on teaching one of our
investigators named Travis. We were at home getting ready to leave when our
phone rings...and it's President Lee (mission president over all the
missionaries). We didn't really know why he was calling us so we just answered
and he told us that he was going to be in the area with his wife for about an
hour and wanted to see if we could meet up with them to visit. We said we would
love too but that we had our lesson at the same time and they said...."oh
wonderful we'll just come to your lesson then!!" AHHHH I was so terrified
hahaha we had about an hour before the lesson so we went to try and visit some
people but we were just so nervous the whole time. It ended up being a really
amazing lesson though and Travis thought it was so cool he got to meet
President Lee! The spirit was so strong during the lesson and Travis is so
golden!! His baptism is scheduled for November 5th and we couldn't be more
excited :)
THE SPARROWS!!!! My favorite family ever. The
mom is wearing a hat that says, "Jesus saves" they are Baptist but
they love us and we go see them every week.
After the lesson on Saturday we had
the opportunity to go to a concert by Jenny Oaks Baker!! She’s the daughter of
Elder Oaks, and she does a musical show with her 4 children! They range in age
from 9-15 and they're all pros. It was crazy ha-ha. In between songs they would
share little spiritual thoughts and I loved it because it was all about family
and how families are central to Heavenly Father’s plan. It was so sweet and
made me miss my awesome family just a little bit ha-ha
taking a break while tracting to swing ha-ha
This week Sister F and I were working
on memorizing the scripture Mosiah 4:9 which says
"Believe in God; believe that he
is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that
he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man
doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend." I just
LOVE this scripture!! We don't have to have all the answers in life, we just
have to have the faith that God knows better than we do and that it will all
work out!! I'm trying really hard to have faith like that ha-ha
I love y'all so much! Have a blessed
week <33

Everyone here takes
Halloween very seriously and all the yards are super festive. We found this
fella hangin in the tree yesterday while we were doing some tracting lol
We were driving the other
day and we noticed this little lizard on our car. He stayed on the car with us
for like 10miles until we got to our next appointment and he let us take a
picture of him before running away. Florida.
