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 73 In Ft. Lauderdale....

HE IS FIGURING IT OUT!! THE LAST PARAGRAPH WAS AWESOME TO READ!! HEHE!


Well this week was a boring week! There was no extraordinary trips to take not mishaps with the car. (other than I think someone tried to break in). We were able to have a regular (for the most part) week!!! It was so nice! This week we were able to find 3 new families to teach and they are all incredible. And most of them are English so I can teach!.

I am starting to get the gist of the conversations in Creole but I am still hopelessly lost. But there is improvement in sight! 

Miracles of this week! E**** (that's a first name) came to church. He is a Haitian man new to the are a and he was on FaceBook and mentioned that he needed to find a church to go to and one of his friends saw it and it reminded her that she hasn't been to church in a long time so she told him that she was going to church and that he could go with her. So he came we were like "who you is" and he didn't understand so we said "komunman ou rele" (how you called) and he said E****, we set up an appointment for that night. on our way to the appointment we were delayed so we got there 30 mins late. We apologized but he said it didn't matter because we represent Jesus and if we say we are coming we are coming. we taught him and a friend a great lesson (or my companion did...haha) and all went well. Then after after they told us how excited they had been, when E**** told his friend I******* that we were coming they realized they didn't have chairs for us to sit in, so they ran around town looking for chairs and found some for us and cleaned them and covered them with a sheet for us. They are great guys.

Another thing that I wanted to tell you is that Haitians have weird jokes, one that they love is translated to "its supposed to be black but it is really white..." ... ... ... ... MICHEAL JACKSON!!! ohahahAHAHAHA they get so cracked up over that.

Some things are getting more stressful with the new assignment, the same sort of things that were happening last time. These kind of problems always seem to be near me... there are very few of them in the mission but they are always near me. I think God is telling me that I should have caused my parents less problems... Parents are leaders assigned by God so their advice is good and should be followed and it will be better for you. I think I will write a talk on that and send it to Bishop Richins and have him give it to the youth. 
I WISH I WAS A BETTER CHILD... especially now that I am kinda an adult...

Welp. People seem excited that I am turning 20 so yay! It's great! 

Love yall babye!


Stay Strong Push ON!!
