Tallahassee Transfer 9 Week 6
How are y'all going this beautiful day??? Hopefully the sun is shining, birds are chirping, and you are just feeling the love of God abounding in your life. Even if the rain and birds aren't there, I know for a fact God's love is there. Understand? Good. And don't forget it. Well let's dive right into this jam-packed week. For those who are here for the pictures, scroll on there. For the other 3 people that actually read these, let's go on a little ride!
We were absolutely packed this week, honestly it was all a blur and I don't remember much of it. But mostly this week consisted of a lot of finding, visiting media referrals, and a few bomb lessons with none other than Andria and a few more of our amazing friends. Andria is turning into a full-fledged missionary, she's now trying to do bible studies with her friends so she can introduce the Book of Mormon to them. Isn't she amazing?? All she's missing is the tag. And we're working on that. So stay tuned. We also had some really cool lessons with a couple newer people, one new lady we found this week is Shanda. I was on a tradeoff with Elder Toolson, and we felt like we should stop by her house. We go by, she's home, and we proceeded to have a killer bible study. At the end we asked her, "what's your end goal in meeting with us?" She proceeded to tell us all the struggles she's going through and how she wants to study the bible to get through it. We proceeded to tell her that the bible is great, but we have a special message to share with her that not only will bring her peace and joy in her life, but will help her want to make covenants with God. She was so pumped to hear that. And she's elect. So we're excited about her. But other than that by way of teaching, not much else too exciting went on. We had a wild lesson with these two people we found, one of the ladies had ADHD hard core and was supposed to be taking crazy pills and so the lesson was all over the place. It. Was. Wild. But the crazy thing is, that's not what I took away from that lesson. Honestly as I was talking to them, I was just filled with an overwhelming feeling of love coming straight from their Heavenly Father. And even though these people weren't in the best circumstances, maybe they weren't doing the best of things, I was just in awe at the love that God has for them, regardless of their circumstances or choices. And I know that it's the exact same with each one of y'all. No matter where you are, what you have done, you CANNOT sink lower than God's love. It's impossible. So remember that. Will you? Good.
On other news, I also burned a shirt this week because I hit a year last week. So that was fun. And I've been waiting for forever to be able to say that I've been out on my mission for "just over a year". So that'll be fun. We also had stake conference which was pretty fun, nothing like hours on end of sitting in a pew feeling the spirit and listening to inspired men. It's the best. So that was super fun too. But honestly other than that not too much went on this week. Just lots of work. Lots of grinding. Good times.
Now for transfer news... so after staying in Tallahassee for the last 8 months, I was definitely anticipating these calls. So turns out I'll be wishing Tallahassee goodbye. I'm getting transferred to Gainesville FL, to be with an Elder Callaway. We'll be whitewashing into the University of Florida YSA ward and the 3rd ward. So to say the least, I'm pretty stoked. Elder Callaway is a stud and a super good missionary and I'll be starting in the YSA just in time for the fall semester so hopefully we'll be packed. So good things are coming.
Well that's about all that I have for this week. Love each and every one of y'all so very much. Keep killing it, and remember that Jesus loves each and every one of you and so do I!
