trade off with Sister Henriod! 5 seconds after taking this picture I dropped my ice cream in my lap :`)
Hi y'all!
This has been an exciting and busy week. First off...wowza! I hit my year mark this last week which is crazy!! Times flying way too fast!
found my Gpa Frank's painting in one of the church buildings!!!
We had interviews with President Lee this week which was awesome, like always! After we finished our interviews and district meeting we went on a tradeoff with the Ocala 1st ward sisters. I stayed in Gainesville with Sister Anderson and we had an awesome time! We did a lot of finding and met some fun people! We woke up early the next morning so we could drive back down to Ocala for their interviews and district meeting! After we finished Sister Heiner and I had about 30 min together before we went on another tradeoff with with Ocala 2nd ward sisters! This time I got to spend the night in Ocala with Sister Henriod! We had so much fun!! We spent most of the night finding and we found 6 new investigators. It was a crazy miracle! It's like every person we talked to was interested in learning more!! We woke up the next morning and headed back to Gainesville! It was fun to see the other sister and see their areas but it was nice to be back in good old g-ville with Sister Heiner (:
SISTER HEINER MY BFF <3
Friday after we got back from our trade offs we headed out to Newberry to do some finding! We had one lady in that area we were planning to try but she wasn't home so we decided to knock some doors around her. We knocked on the first door and met Robert! He was super nice and we were able to teach him a quick 5 min Restoration and set up a return appointment! The next door over we met Kashon. He let us teach him as well and we were super excited! We decided to try one more door since we were having such good luck and we were able to meet Beverly and her family! We talked about the Book of Mormon with her and she told us they have one and that her daughter reads from it all the time! She was super sweet and we set up a time later this week to go and teach the whole family!! Newberry is a gold mine!
comp study
I love being a missionary and I love getting to see all the awesome miracles that happen! Life is so good in Florida! Thanks for all the continued love and support! I know God loves us and wants what is best for us. It's not always easy but it's worth it!
I love y'all! Have a blessed week!! <33

tracting in Newberry
-Weekly Moss Moment-
Last night we were out trying to contact people in the middle of nowhere. We were driving down all these sketchy dirt roads and we were pretty sure our Toyota Corolla was not going to make it. We were looking for a certain house and our TomTom promised if we stayed on this road it would connect to a bigger road where the house was. It was windy and bumpy and went straight through the forest/swamp that is everywhere in Florida. It was getting dark fast and we almost got stuck about 50 times. After driving for about 20min we decided we should just turn around. The road we were driving on was super narrow though and the trees came right up to the road making it very difficult to turn around. After several failed attempts I let Sister Heiner do it and we made it out alive. Lesson learned...dont trust the GPS and don't go off roading in Newberry(in a corolla)
