We were able to do a service project for habitat for humanity with our Zone this week! We helped paint the inside of this house and do some other interior work! Some of the missionaries struggled painting the ceiling and got paint all of themselves lol
Hi y'all! This week has been a little hectic but still full of miracles!!
We have a Hurricaine headed for Florida and will be staying inside on Monday so we are having our pday today! We are prepared with food and water and our Mission President has a solid plan in place so there is no need to worry :)
Monday night after pday we went and had our first lesson with our deaf refferal Richard. He is the funniest man ever and is so sincere in his desire to follow Christ! He was so excited when he found put we could sign with him and we had a really great visit. After the lesson we called President Lee and asked if there was anyway we could have more time to practice since he is so elect and he agreed and so now we have 30 min of language study every day! We are super excited about that! I've been teaching Sister Heiner and she can now pray, bear her testimony, and teach a few points from the restoration! I've been practicing a ton but it's been awesome! We had a lesson with him again yesterday and we were able to set a baptismal date for him for the end of October! We also brought him a large print Book of Mormon and he was so excited! We will probably be spending a lot of time practicing our sign while we are stuck inside during Irma haha
This week we had exchanges with the YSA sisters and I was able to with Sister Ulrich!! It was loads of fun! We went on University of Florida campus and talked to all the people we could. We had a Boom of Mormon and we asked if people wojld be willing to read a page and mark or underline every time it mentions God or Jesus in some way. We explained to people that the Book of Mormon is like the Bible in that it teaches about Christ and testifies of Him on every page. It was really fun and a great way to start conversations with people! We also had a lesson with one of their investigators named Tong and then we got to go to institute! It was a busy but great day!
IRMA Wednesday we stopped at the Starbucks right across from our apartment to use the wifi and sync our tablets. As we were sitting there this man came up to us and said he used to meet with the missionaries and was interested in studying with us again! We set a lesson up for the next day and it was awesome! He pulled up a note on his phone from when he met with missionaries over a year ago that had Anton of questions on it! We just talked and had a good discussion with him about the Book of Mormon! He's super elect and we have another lesson set with him for next week after the storm passes!
Pumpkin spice is back at Starbucks!! I convinced Sister Heiner to try it in a vanilla frap and she was pretty sceptical haha Well it'll be a bit before I have another chance to email but I'm thankful for this time to be serving the Lord! We are all praying that everyone will be okay and Irma will go easy on us but I know it will all work out according to God's plan.
I love y'all!! Talk to y'all soon the good Lord willin and the creek don't rise

Exchanges with the YSA sisters :))
-Weekly Moss Moment-
So this week we drove down a sketchy dirt road into the forest(like every other week) trying to find a former. When we found the house a man was outside so I hopped out really fast and went to talk with him. He told us the person we were looking for wasn't home so we headed out. We were a few minute away when I realized we didn't have the phone. After thinking about it we realized it must have fallen out back at the guys house. We had to turn around and drive all the way back and when I got out I saw the phone sitting right in the grass. It slipped off my lap and I didn't even notice. The man was still outside so I had to explain why we were back and it was just super awkward. Dang moss
