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 69 In Ft. Lauderdale...

This was an interesting week because we didn't have a lot of time here. And this coming week will be a little more difficult because Elder Hunt is having a few knee problems so we have to borrow a car from somebody in the district (30-45min drive to get it and drop them where they need to be) then drive down to Plantation (2 hour drive) then return the car (30-45 more) and still in all that he has his appointments and we gotta eat!

But good things are happening! We have been working with the Quinonez family, a part member family and progress has been made! He came to church and accepted a date! It was good to see our efforts pay off and to see the change in their family. Hermana Quinonez has an incredible testimony. And soon her husband will too!

Also we had interviews with President Richardson this week and they went really well and I really learned to love that man even more, he is an inspired leader and a great Mission President I couldn't ask for anyone better to serve under. He and President Anderson have changed my life!

This week we had the opportunity to see truth change the very countenance of an individual, we went to visit a potential investigator, Ronnel, and when we got there another man started acting like a fool, trying to interrupt us and cause problems, but then as a snide comment he asked, "how much they pay you for this anyway" and when we said nothing there was an obvious change. Then he asked what we wanted to do after this and we told him, go to school, get a job he realized that all this was sacrifice and he really changed his attitude and became interested in learning more. That was a really cool moment. It was just amazing to see the spirit and truth work on him.

I wish there was more I could tell you but I don't know what else to say.

Stay Strong, Push on!

LOVE YOU
