So I
sent you a picture, and the man in the middle, his name is J*** S******, he is
surrounded by his new family. That man was baptized Friday and confirmado this
Sunday. His is an amazing man. He was born in Cuba, where in school he was
basically taught that there was no such thing as God and that he had to fend
for himself, when he got here to the states he continued believing that because
that's how it all was. But then he met a man called as a ward missionary in
Oct. the man invited and pulled him to church. Jose said "The very moment
I walked in the building, I felt something different, I felt God" But then
he could never make it back because he worked as a truck driver and he couldn't
be in town on Sundays. But then his schedule changed a few weeks ago and he was
able to come, He said that the entire time he was away he thought about the
church and how he felt and began to pray. When he started coming to church He
came to us and said, " I want to be baptized, will you help me?"... I
had thought he was a member all along. So we started teaching him and helping
him quit smoking. and badaboom-badabing 3 weeks later BAPTISM! He's a really
good guy I love him.
Other
things that happened this week I went on 2 exchanges, and we ended up having to
go down to plantation to get Elder Hunt's Knee looked at so... I was not in my
area very much this week BUT great things happened.
Things
that I am learning. APPLICATION!!! We are given so much training and help in
this life, and we know its all good, BUT IF IT IS NOT APPLIED IT DOES NO GOOD.
You can be told EXACTLY what to do but if you don't do it, NOTHING will come
from learning it. I have seen that WAY to much on my mission, a training is
given 1 week used then we get a new training, and BOOM the old was is
forgotten. WE MUST CONTINUE TO USE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT. Anyway now that
that has come off my chest, I have also learned a lot about patience this week,
results don't come immediately, even if you have the given specific
instructions, you cannot expect it to immediately take effect and change
things. Basically I learned that I was a handful as a child and youth to my
parents...

Also
in the "NEWS" category here in the FFLM the Ft. Meyers stake on the
west coast of Florida got added to our mission, a whole 30 new missionaries
came over... They are not perfectly happy (their iPads got taken away until we
get ours too) they are going to fit right in!
But
that's what happened!
LOVE
YOU
STAY
STRONG PUSH ON
