TURN TO JESUS...HE LOVES YOU!
Wow this was an amazing
week!! We worked really hard and saw so many miracles!
First off Logan and his
brother Robert got baptized on Saturday!!! Logan is 9 and Robert just turned 8
and it has been so fun to teach them! They are so sweet and have such pure
testimonies of the gospel of Jesus Christ! We had a great turnout from the ward
and everyone was just so excited for them! It was the best part of our week for
sure!

Another crazy miracle this
week was finding Audrey. She was a referral that we received from mormon.org last week and we were
finally able to meet up with her Monday night. Apparently she was staying with
her mom for a few days in Lake City and she was feeling really lost and
frustrated not knowing what to do with her life. So one night she prayed and
told God that if he wants her to come closer to Him he needs to show her the
path and put it right in front of her face. Two Elders knocked on her door the
next day and she took that for her sign. They gave her a card for mormon.org and when she got back to
Gainesville she logged on, requested a Book of Mormon, and then we were given
her contact information. She is seriously one of the most elect people I have
ever met. She is seeking for direction in her life and she loves everything
about the gospel. We were able to teach her 3 times this week and then she came
to church! She even got up and bore her testimony in sacrament meeting! IT WAS
CRAZY! So so so excited about her

We were out working one
night and we decided to try this less active/part member family. They are super
busy and we haven't ever been able to catch them at home. They ended up being
home and said they were just getting ready to have dinner and they invited us
in to join them! Previously this family had been very closed off to the church,
but something happened to soften their hearts and it was a miracle! The dad
talked to us a lot about his mission and positive experiences he had while
serving in Argentina. The mom told us this was the perfect time for us to come
because their 13yr old son Max had just had a friend that'd passed away. We
were able to talk to the family about the Plan on Salvation and the spirit was
super strong. Their two kids, Bella and Max, were never baptized but they
seemed interested in coming to church and youth activities! Miracle!
Since I was already soaked from falling in the
puddle we decided to play in the rain a bit lol
Last night we had dinner
with one of my favorite families the Foglemans! They are originally from my
hometown in NM and so it's fun to talk to them about ftown and different people
we all know! Sister Fogleman made me some authentic New Mexican food (green
chili stew and homemade sopapillas yum) and I about cried haha! It was so
good!! It was the first time in about 10 months I've had anything close to food
from home so it was a tender moment for me haha! They are such an amazing
family though and I'm so thankful for them!
In sacrament meeting
yesterday someone was sharing their testimony and they said, "I know Jesus
Christ has the power to change lives" and it really hit me. I know this is
true. I see the change that has happened as I have turned to the Savior and
tried to follow Him more! I am so thankful to be out here and to be able to see
miracles everyday. I've seen hearts soften and people change and it's all
through Christ. I love Him so much and I am so thankful I get to help people
come closer to Him! God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son!!
I love y'all! Have a
blessed week <33

This huge branch fell right in front of us during a storm one day...yikes!
-Weekly Moss Moment-
It rained so much this week. It was hot and humid in the afternoon then it would pour at night. We were still walking/biking all week and so we got caught in a storm every single day. It was fun and nice to get a break from the humidity! One night we were walking home for dinner and we were about a mile away from our apartment when a storm rolled in suddenly and we were getting soaked. We started running back and were almost all the way home when I slipped in the parking lot and fell right into a huge puddle. I was so wet and freezing...luckily we didn't have a dinner appointment that night so I had time to change and dry off haha!
