Since I'm a trainee, I had the opportunity on Friday to attend a specialized missionary training meeting with the missionaries I came in with. We had the opportunity to go on USF campus with different trainers, so I got to spend a few hours with Sister Douglas! She is a great missionary and helped me learn different ways to approach people. Sometimes being a missionary means being Christlike and that's something we can do!
We had two fasts this past week concerning finding people who are prepared to be taught.
Yesterday we had a devotional called "Why I Believe" that's put on by our mission president. Missionaries bring their friends, and recent converts come to share their testimonies and why they believe! Denisse and Maya came and we were so excited!! They have been taught by missionaries for about a year now and they are awesome. We love them so much and they have such an amazing spirit to them. The Lord might be getting another baptism soon!
We're officially in hurricane season, which means we always have to have our gas tanks above half, and our 72 hour kits prepped until November. The Lord knows I love rainy summer days!!
We get to attend the Orlando temple on Thursday and see President Nelson on Sunday, yay!! I had the opportunity to go on an exchange to South Tampa. It's beautiful! Sister Hathaway grew up in Hollywood Florida and she's a solid missionary.
Know that the Lord will always provide a way. Take everything one step at a time and you WILL survive. He loves you, but He wants you to reach out to Him, so don't forget to ask!
I appreciate the emails I receive and I'm glad that you read mine!
