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 63 In Ft. Lauderdale....

Well this week on Thursday I got sick... I was out of commission for Thursday and Friday. It sucked, I could have worked but our mission nurse would not allow it until my cough stopped, lets just say I have found that the BEST cough drops that can prevent a cough for the longest are called "Fisherman's Friend" they are brown and wafer like and taste like black licorice and horehound and evil nastiness, but they work. and I drank a whole box worth of lemon tea. 

That was the biggest news this week, E****** a.k.a. "E*****" a.k.a. "L***" is still progressing but because he is a youth we have been counseled to take things real slow with him and his mother trying to activate her more and really build his solidity. But things are definitely going well with that.

This week we also had the "Christmas Devotional" broadcast to the chapel and we were able to go and watch. That was really good and I would recommend watching it for anyone that didn't have the opportunity on lds.org

Miracles:
Elder H*** and I were harvesting and we knock in to an old SPANISH lady (we were stoked) and she immediately invites us in, as we step in we see that they are preparing a bunch of dried peppers, we ask them what they are making and they say a dish called, Birria, made with a ton of peppers (not the spicy kind the flavorful kind) and onions and Deer, then as we talk with them we have them pull up the navidad.mormon.org video. The spirit was so strong and we invited the younger members of the family to share it on Facebook, but the little old lady then chirps up and says "voy a hacerlo tambien" or I am going to do that too. Turns out she has a Facebook with like 600 friends around the world, and she shares it on Facebook! 

Note to family: get recipe off internet for Birria... stuffs BOMB and gets rid of all the gamey flavor.


Well I wish there was more to tell but this was an odd week with me being sick and all... so there it was!

STAY STRONG, PUSH ON
