Tallahassee Transfer 7 Week 3
Heyy how is everyone? I hope this last week was absolutely fantastic for each one of y'all. Things are just moving along down here in florida, crazy that this next week I hit 9 months out in the mission. I'm basically going home soon. But without further ado let's get down to it.
This week was a pretty good week, but a little slower by way of teaching. Our friends are all doing just fine, but this week it was a little harder to get in contact and find some people. We also had to take Andrea off of baptismal date because of some challenges, but she's still going strong and has a super strong desire to be baptized. If y'all could please keep her in your prayers that would be absolutely amazing! She's just such a trooper, I'm amazed how much God is working in her life. But other than that we don't have much new news by way of our friends and our teaching.
We did get the opportunity to go to Zone Conference this week which was absolutely amazing. There's just no way that the leaders of this mission aren't inspired. I had a lot of questions going into this conference and somehow they all got answered. The main things that we talked about during the conference was the power of the spirit, and the power of the scriptures and different things that God has blessed us with. All these things, scriptures, Preach my Gospel, revelation, are all such amazing testaments of God's love for us, individually and personally. I think it's crazy how these different things were written by men, who lived a long time ago, who had no idea about the challenges, experiences, and things that we would go through. But they were inspired by God to give us things which are literal road maps through all of our challenges and experiences, all of our pains and questions. God doesn't want to leave us in the dark. His love is too great. Isn't he just amazing??
Well that's about all that I have this week, I love all of you so very much and go have an awesome week for me. Remember that you're awesome, and Jesus loves you. Love y'all!

Spiritual Thought:
1 Nephi 19:9
9 And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it; and they smite him, and he suffereth it. Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it, because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men
How amazing is the Savior? How much does he love us? Enough to be scourged, spit upon, smote, all out of his amazing love for each one of us. There isn't anything that He wouldn't do for us, I just think that's so amazing. Even if He had to go through it for just one of us, He still would. He just loves us that much. And so we should love Him, show Him our dedication back. Simple as that.
