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 81 In Ft. Lauderdale....

April 20, 2015

Well this week was just as busy as last, in fact I think every week is very busy, and you know I think that I like being busy. Life is easier when you have things to do, you don't have time to worry! This week I went on 2 exchanges where I stayed in the area... do you know how hard it is to plan a day in Belle Glade with out Creole? Its like trying to push water back in the faucet. But it made the day fun I used some good old sign language.

We have been working a lot in a town a little North of Belle Glade named Pahokee, if anyone can tell me that means in some Indian language that would be nice. Pahokee is a pretty sketchy place, its a weird cross of backwoods hick and ghetto thug (we don't walk around with much money in our pockets) but so far the people have been really nice and have been really accepting. Our biggest problem is convincing them to drive to Belle Glade. 

On our way to Pahokee one day we decided to take a different route through the fields and we came across a hidden trailer-park filled with... MEXICAN FAMILIES!!! And really good families! The kind that go on walks! And the Dads play soccer with the kids!!! We knocked 6 doors and found 5 families! And the families all knew each other and when we went back to teach one family with plans to see the others after, the others saw us and came over! We were teaching a class! There were 12 of them. So I had some fun!

But as for other details I went on an exchange with the assistants and learned a lot about Administering and Ministering, they are different. We did a service project repairing a deck... the other three missionaries are not so handy, but they learned. I sure am thankful for the things I learned around the house and the fact that Dad taught us how to solve problems and work.

I don't really know what else but I love ya'll!!

Stay Strong, Push On
