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 55 In Ft. Lauderdale....

Not a Crazy ton has happened this week, it was busy but weird, there has been an unusual feeling lately that I can't explain. But good things are happening.

We met this guy named Wendy, he is Haitian and so Wendy is neutral gender like Taylor. In Haiti it is a name for both guys and girls. He used to meet with the missionaries when he was younger and has nothing but good memories of them and is excited to get back in to it! I have not taught a Haitian man before, luckily he speaks really good English.

And yesterday we met another guy that got baptized when he was 19 (about 7 years ago) but then lost track of the church as he got older and started working and going to school, but he was VERY excited to see us I am not sure if it was just the way he is but he was practically yelling at us with excitement. We will be meeting with them tomorrow.

We had an interesting visit with our fun DoTerra Family that has visited Utah a couple of times, they are great and Robin (the husband) would be down in a heart beat I feel, Kristina would as well IF she can get by a few doctrine hang ups that she has. But other wise they are awesome, (after our lessons they always teach us something about the Oils, and give us techniques on how to use them, they want to critique and modify our supply) they love reading the scriptures and watching videos of the prophets speaking, they will go down soon.

As for the Ramos family last night was a rather revealing night, we asked a question to some of the kids in Spanish's... and they did not understand... then we realized that even though the Kids know Spanish, they don't really at the same time... entonces we have wasted 3 weeks with them and now have to start over and check what they understand and do not... Kinda our fault for not asking enough questions in the beginning to understand if they understood! So they will be put off another week or two.

But I have been having a lot of fun in my new wheel chair... we found a functioning wheel chair in storage... it is now my study chair... dinner chair... and fun time chair...

Oh! Elder M**** B********** just got to the mission! And he is being trained by Elder L***... weird that we knew each other before the mission and now are trained by the same guy... It's a small world! Elder L*** is probably thinking that God is telling him that he needs to move to Herriman after the mission. 

Today before we emailed a guy made us sushi... it was good... not bad... not great... still don't think that I like sushi. I think sushi will kill ya!

In my study's I have been developing a new system for studying, I will have it figured out by tomorrow so next week I will tell you all about it. But I really have been focusing on trying to study for my Gator Friends.

Lost 10 pounds in the last 2 weeks, our apartment has been trying to eat healthier and exercises a lot harder in order to loose weight, there is a machine at Publix called the Higi and it takes our weight and blood pressure and factors in our height and age and give us a score and as you loose weight and get healthier it gives you points and so far its been pretty fun. For along time it was telling me that I had high blood pressure, but I don't think it was that accurate, who knows but some how I brought it down... so that's been new

Ahhh I think that is it...


Stay strong and Push on
