ANOTHER WEEK GONE? man time is flying
This week we had a big focus on finding people to teach. We went out of our way to talk with people and we had some awesome miracles! One day we were out in an area and we tried this former investigator. He works as a youth pastor and wasn't very interested but was still really nice! We asked if he knew anyone in the area that could use a scripture/uplifting message and he pointed us to some people that lived down the street in an apartment complex. We didn't even know it existed so we were super pumped. We went and tried some of the people he said and the first door we knocked on we met this super sweet lady named Amanda! She said she's been interested more in religion lately and she wanted us to bring her a Bible this week! Another cool experience happened later in the week while we were in a different part of our area. No one was really home that we were trying so we were walking around to see if there were people outside we could talk to. We saw this man sitting on his porch so we went and we were able to have a conversation with him about religion. He had a lot of really great questions. We read with him from the Book of Mormon a bit and the spirit was really strong as he was reading scriptures about Christ. We've had a goal to use the Book of Mormon more in our teaching and it's made a HUGE difference!!
nope nope nope
The Elders called us this week to give us a referral from one of their investigators. We stopped by to see her and she's amazing! Her name is Lena and when her friend told her she was meeting with Mormon missionaries she asked if they could come see her too! She's had a lot of recent struggles and wants God in her life more. We talked about the Book of Mormon and read with her and talked about God leading us through prophets. She loved everything and was soaking it up like a sponge. She has 3 sons, is super sweet and open, and is just so prepared for the gospel. We are so so excited about her!!

For Valentine's day we spent it with the Eppersons and it was so fun. We went a little early to help Sister Epperson get everything ready and our main job was to make all of the chocolate covered strawberries. We had 3 big cases of strawberries that we dipped and then decorated. She has three young boys that wanted to help and so It was kind of hectic but still good haha! After dinner and strawberries she passed out paper hearts with everyone's names on them and we passed them around and wrote something we love about each person. It was a great way to spend our Valentine's day :))
The rest of the week was full of contacting and service. It's been warming up and so we've been helping some of our investigators with their yard work. It's been fun but it's also crazy it's already in the 80s everyday and it's only February!! That's Florida for ya haha
Valentine's day with the Eppersons ❤❤
Well next week will be my last group email. I can't believe it. I'm just trying to enjoy every day I have left in Florida because I know these next 2 weeks are going to fly by(or feel like an eternity I'm not sure)
Thank you all so much for your continued support the last 18 months. All the emails, letters, packages, and prayers are much appreciated!! I love y'all so much and I LOVE being a missionary!
I love y'all! Have a blessed week <33

-Weekly Moss Moment-
The star this week is one of my fav people, Porter. He's our WML's 3yr old son and he is hilarious and super wild. I love him so much. So at dinner this week Porter insisted on sitting next to one of the Elders. 2 seconds into dinner he spilled his water all over the place so we got it all cleaned up and then we were good. A solid 10min went by and we were all like "wow porter you are doing so good!!" Not even 2 seconds later he turned to Elder Hibbert and started smaking his arm with his burrito. Chicken, sour cream, and guacamole got all over his white shirt and pants and we were dying. Classic Porter hahaha
On Sunday his mom was playing the piano for sacrament meeting so we sat by them and Porter sat in between me and Sister Esquerra. I helped him find the right hymn and we drew some pictures together. It was awesome. He had this little blue plane he was playing with and about halfway through the meeting he leaned over my lap and was waving the plane through the air. Then he looked at me and slammed the plane right into my face. Pretty painful but also kind of funny. He kept trying to do it and I said "no Porter please don't do that it hurts" and he said "no I promise it doesn't hurt. See" and then he would aim for my face again...he's so adorable though so I wasnt even mad hahaha
