Hey Family,
Well another great week in the mission has just come and gone. It's very interesting how the lord works in mysterious ways. He has sure done a lot of it in the last couple of weeks. Both our baptismal dates are still good. However we might move Micheal Meadows back so that we can baptize his children with him. We can only meet with his children on the weekend because they stay with their mom on the week days.
Well we are also teaching a new investigator. His name is Caesar and has been able to see the difference the gospel makes in a family. He's really longing for something more and he knows he's finding it in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm very excited for him and know he will do great. So far we've had the chance to teach him once and we taught the restoration. He also came to a members home with us on Sunday to watch conference and said he liked it. At first he was a little uncomfortable because he didn't know everyone. But by the time it was time for him to go he really didn't want to leave and in fact he wanted to stay but that's because he could feel the difference.
Well keep praying for me because I need your prayers every day. It's sort of weird but Florida is beginning to look more and more like home. Even though I still miss my family I'm doing a lot better with that feeling of home for me. The members here are awesome and they are part of the reason I feel more at home here. Thanks once again for all the emails and letters you are all way awesome. Dad say hi to all the priest for me, tell them to get into preach my gospel because it will help them the most on a mission.
love your favorite missionary we all know
