I have a testimony in Jesus Christ and in Heavenly Father. I know that they love me so much they established a plan that allows me to return to live with them. I have a testimony of the Book of Mormon and of Joseph Smith, I know Heavenly Father restored the gospel through him. The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and his love for me. I have a testimony of Thomas S. Monson. I know he is a living prophet and through him we receive guidance from our Father in Heaven. I know going on my mission is the right thing to do, I want to become a tool in the hands of the Lord. I know that Fort Lauderdale is the place I am supposed to go and the Lord will help me on my path. I know families can be together forever, that I will be able to see my grandmother and other relatives that have passed on when I too leave this world and return to Him.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Week 52 In Ft. Lauderdale....

This week would have to be one that I will chalk up as a major miracle week. SO much happened, and I do NOT know how. I just know that God IS good and He loves us.

Near the end of last week a recent convert from the El Portal ward moved into our ward, it just so happens that El Portal is the ward that Elder W****** just served in and he knew her very well. While she is here she is living with her Uncle (long time Less-Active) and his wife and 5 daughters between 15-20 and 1 son (14) and they ALL are interested in finding a church and getting involved with good things (like Young Womens). It is super exciting to teach such a large family, its different though because you don't get to know each persons desires individually you have to teach to the crowd, like you would teach a Sunday school lesson. You go over it all but it's not customized specifically to each person. Miracle.

Then this same RC sister said that she has a friend that has met with the missionaries that is going to move in with her and be her room mate when they find a new place. And SHE wants to be baptized! Miracle.

Then we get a call from Bro. V****** telling us that he had received a call and an email from a Bishop in Colorado, about a family that just moved down here, apparently J****** lived up there and got really involved with the Young Women. She had made the decision to get baptized but had to move just before and the father was very close, too. They recommended that we go meet with them with the YW president. But before we could she walked in to Wednesday Night Activity because a member girl met her at school and invited her! MIRACLE.

K******* and R****, came back into the picture, and told us that they were going to Utah for a few days and they wanted to know what they should do in Salt Lake to learn about the Church! We sent them to Temple Square and the whole time they were talking about how BEAUTIFUL and powerful it all was! Miracle.

And A** got BAPTIZED!!! MIRACLE!!! There were a few obstacles but, they have been over come! She got in and got dunked by her Father-in-law and it was just a beautiful sight!

But this whole time I was fighting... We ate some Balleadas that I believe had some bad creama in them and there has been Hot Firery Lava in my stomach every since, I was able to fight it from Thursday - Sunday but after church yesterday it stopped me... NO BUENO.

Anyway that was the week it was great! We had fun, we worked hard, we saw success.


STAY STRONG, PUSH ON
