Happy Halloween!!! 🎃🎃
Happy Monday! Time is flying and we are already at the end of another transfer! We had our transfer call on Saturday and found out Sister Doxey is leaving :/ shes headed for Macclenney for her last transfer and I'm going to miss her tons. My new companion's name is Sister Hoffman and we will serve together as the Sister Training Leaders for the Kingsland Zone! President opened up 3 new sisters areas in Kingsland so we have more sisters to work with and I am so excited!!! It's going to be a fun transfer!
Companions that tandem together don't always stay together(transfers://) but it's still pretty fun
Last week we drove to Fernadina Beach to have a district p-day. A member in the ward there has a house right on the water and they let us come over and fish in their backyard! The weather is finally cooling down and it was a little overcast and perfect out. I'd never really fished before but I tried it out. I caught a crab for like 2 seconds but that's about it for me! We saw dolphins and a cute sea turtle and the Elders caught some baby sharks! It was lots of fun
Fishing with the District last week 🐟
We did a lot of finding this week and met some interesting people. We met a man named Gary and his grandson Kyle. They let us in and we shared a video with them about the Book of Mormon. As soon as the video was over Kyle showed us his phone and he had pulled up Mormon.org and was ordering a free copy. It was awesome haha! We told him we could just bring one next time if he wanted and so we are going to go back and see them this week! We are still working with Malaekai and Mavryk and they are so excited to be baptized! We taught them a few times this week and they are adorable and hilarious. We played a mini football game with them after a lesson and Sister Doxey scored 2 touchdowns wahoo! Haha!
Kingsland District
Friday night the branch went all out for their annual fall festival and it was so fun! We went early to help set up and to decorate the room we were in charge of. They had different games in each room and the kids would walk around and do different activities and get treats. They had the whole thing inside and it turned out great! The whole building was decorated which took a lot of work but the kids all loved it. We also had a chili cook off and just sat and visited with all the branch members. We had a lot of people come and even some investigators so that was exciting!!
Our investigator David has this outside his house and keeps it stocked with drinks and snacks. Southern hospitality.
I was able to give a talk this week in sacrament meeting about the importance of daily scripture study. I loved being able to study that topic more and it's something I've really seen the importance of as a missionary. There was a quote that I really liked that I wanted to share with y'all from President Monson
One morning it was so cold we actually turned the heat on....it was crazy. We bundled up and made hot chocolate it was a strange feeling haha
“Once obtained, a testimony needs to be kept vital and alive through continued obedience to the commandments of God and through daily prayer and scripture study. As Nephi emphasized, to gain eternal life we must 'press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end'”
I know the Book of Mormon is true because it changes my life every time I read it. I love being a missionary and being able to share this wonderful book with people everyday!!
I love y'all! Have a blessed week <33

Branch Fall Festival! The Gillands had the scariest costume for sure
More puppies! We met this little guy tracting and he followed us around the whole time then came back to the car and hopped right up as soon as I opened the door. It broke my heart a little bit to have to leave him behind </3
