Week 52 - Ocoee

ALRIGHT FRIENDS. LETS DIVE IN.

So this week was transfers. Elder Jennings is out and Elder Leishman is in. And he is DOPE. We get along so well. He's a marine. And just a cool guy all around so I'm really looking forward to this upcoming transfer. To be completely honest I'm a little scared. Why would they send a marine to the ghetto with me. Hopefully nothing goes down. Hahaha.

Soooooo. . . This week has been great. To kick it all off I burnt a shirt with some TRUE HOMIES. It was great. I hit my year mark this week which is crazy! It's already been a year. Wow. I'm not gonna say that is been a fast 12 months. But I am excited and happy that I've made it this far. It's been great serving here in Orlando Florida and I've really enjoyed my experiences here. 

Speaking of experiences. This past weekend we must of biked 20+ miles in 101 degree heat. With the humidity cranked up on high. Like. It was horrible. I feel bad for making fun on Utah in the winter because I'm really paying for it now. It's hot. And I cannot pound down enough water down. I'm buying a camelback soon. Yeah. Because staying hydrated is kinda important. I feel sooooo bad for my companion. He has a bad back and we've been going to all types of doctors this past week but they can't figure out what's wrong sooo. . For now he's slaving away on his bike in hot/ humid weather. 

One of the doctors we've seen is a chiropractor. I love chiropractors. I want to be one now. I asked him if he would give me an adjustment and now I feel like a new man. I'm so glad we're going back on Tuesday. 

I went to this AWESOME burger place. And they had fry sauce. It's the first time in a year I've had fry sauce! Definitely picture worthy. It's down below! 

OHH! Missionary work . . . Ohhh yeah. That's been good too! 

Mary's progressing to her date on the ninth. And is doing ok. . ish. She recently had a death in the family and she's gonna be out of town for a few days. So pray for her so she can be back for her baptismal interview on Wednesday. 

We picked up another new investigator this week and he's suuuuuuper solid. I'm sooooo excited for him! Here listen to this Miracle! So we're biking on Saturday in the crazy heat and we pass a trailer park that is usually gated up. I glance over to see if the gate is open, and it is. So I slam on my brakes and start to go inside. I look to see if there is any less actives in this place and there is one. We knock on this door and out comes this former investigator that I've never heard of. He said that he was taking the discussions with the missionaries for over a year and came to church pretty consistently. We asked him why he wasn't baptized and he said that he loves wine. But he was now serious about giving up alcohol in order to follow Christ. His name is Kenson. So pray for him as well. It's amazing how Heavenly Father leads us to those who are prepared. 

Anyways! It's been great! I hope everything going good for you guys back home. I'm so greatful for all of your prayers and for the support you always give me. I truly! Truly! Appreciate it! Thank you guys. I love you! Have a great week!

Week 51 - Ocoee

HELLO. HELLO. HELLO.

Happy Father's Day! 

This week was Fun! We had temple service and it was pretty dope! It was a lot of fun and we took some sweeeeet pics. It was great. I never thought I'd have so much fun tearing up weeds and spreading mulch. #LivinTheHighLife You'll have to look at them there pretty sweet. Also below, a missionary that is dying soon, (going home tomorrow) we made him a meme. I love it so much. 

Some Elders in our district had a baptism this past week and we were able to get an investigator to go to it. So that was pretty sweet. I hadn't seen a convert baptism since October. So it was great to see success for those Elders. 

I love kids. They are the best thing ever. I'm totally convinced that I'm just gonna be a primary teacher/ scoutmaster til I die. I'm hangin out with my lil homie "Mr. T" he's down below. We took some sick selfies. 

  TRANSFERS. So it's transfer week. I'm stayin in Ocoee. And my companion Elder Jennings is headin out. Sooo yep. . I'm excited for the new opportunities and all dat good stuff. 

FATHERS DAY. . was weird. Haha. Because a year ago on fathers day I gave my farewell talk with Jacob West. I still remember balling my eyes out while the primary kids were singing the Army of Helaman, I remember glancing at Jacob and seeing that he was tearing up to and we just started to laugh. Such great memories! Also yesterday we sang Families can be together forever. When it came to the part "I always want to be with my own family" I kinda chuckled and said to my self, "ha, yeah that's me. I wish I could be with my family."but that phrase made me take a step back and ponder the true reason why I'm out here. To leave my family for two years in order to invite others family's to be sealed together for eternity. It really gave me a new perspective of why I'm here. Although I do miss my family... But, mostly Kevin. 

Spiritual moment of da week: 
We met with Mary a few times this week. It was awesome. I love teaching her. It's a wonderful experience. The spirit truly guides our lessons. It's the neatest experience going into a lesson knowing what points you want to touch on but you just kinda dive into it with faith knowing that this is Gods work and that everything is gonna turn out just fine. And if it doesn't then that person isn't prepared for the restored gospel yet. That luckily isn't the case with Mary. She's awesome she came to church yesterday and she's been reading the Book of Mormon. She has a solid testimony that she can build her conversion off of. Seeing her get excited gets me excited. Keep praying for her. Both her and I appreciate the prayers for her. Her baptismal date is July 9. 

Sooooo. . Yep! I love you guys and I truely do appreciate everything you do for me. The emails. The letters everything. You guys are the best!
