Good Church Members in Florida

Hello everybody!

This week has been just a really good one. It's shown me the power that church members have in being a "light to the world" as Jesus Christ so well puts it. There are just so many amazing members here in Fort Caroline! They're incredible at sharing the gospel with their friends by example. 

It's amazing to see the many walks of life that the members here come from. One of them is in underwater construction and electrical work (scuba diving and working on bridges and such.) Another works developing prosthetic limbs and travels across the world to different countries for marketing every week. One amazing lady works as a cafeteria worker and house cleaner at her son's school. I love hearing about their lives and hearing how the gospel of Christ has blessed their lives. 

     The relief society president here is one of the most Christlike people I've ever met . You can just see Christlike love all over her face. She's always talking with members of the relief society. Whether it's a young mother who needs help with her kids or she's sitting down and holding the hand of a 95 year old lady, she's always ministering to the one. 

       

     This is us at the Garfield's home! They're an amazing family here and Brother Garfield loves coming out with us to lessons. They're really great people and their kids are adorable. And it was just super fun to have a bonfire!

 I missed s'mores. They were really good...

     This area is very different from my last, as far as meals provided by members go.  We get fed so much! Every single night this week and six nights next week. This week is amazing. We do eat some seafood here! I've had oyster, clam, lots of crab, and some squid. It's good! I don't really like oysters but everything else is good. Cold seafood is gross though. Not good leftovers 

Our investigators are doing really well! It's hard to watch them make decisions against what what we're teaching them, especially when they know that what we've taught them is true. But it's so amazing when investigators are living the Gospel of Christ, and studying the scriptures and praying, and just tell us that they feel such a difference in their lives.

I might start closing all of my emails with the words of Elder Holland because they mean so much to me. "Keep loving. Keep trying. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep growing. Heaven is cheering you on today, tomorrow, and forever." 

Love you all!
