All is doing good here in Plantation. Remember back in March
when we baptized 106 people? Well 100 has always been a mission goal. In the
month of July, we baptized 141!! Isn't that way sick? Of course, Elder Larsen
and I didn't contribute... But, it's still way awesome. We have 6 dates so far
for August. So we'll definitely get some people dunked next month. "J" and
her family are still way sweet. They were out of town this last weekend so she
wasn't able to come to church, but we send her a scripture every morning and
she really likes that. We had a way good lesson with her at a members' house
who lives in the same apt complex. The kids were with their dad so it was just
her, us, Sister "Y" and her two daughters, and the ward mission leader. So at
first she was a little shy, but by the end she was good. It was the best lesson
like ever. We just taught the Gospel and she understood it well, she's Catholic
so she's heard it before.., but you could tell that the Spirit was there. It
was so cool.
We also have a guy named "J" that was a media referral. We
just stopped by his house because we were right by it. He was excited to see us.
He's like 30(?) and he told us all about his past and drug addiction and he's
been clean and sober for 2 weeks and he wants to come closer to Jesus Christ.
So we committed him to be baptized right there. We're seeing him again tonight.
Other than that, not a whole lot is going on. We're working
hard and having fun. The mission is kinda going slow right now. Idk I've kinda
been discouraged even though we're having more success and fun. But I hear that
it happens to pretty much everyone at this point in their mission. So I'm sure
it'll pass soon.
K so guess what? I haven't bought soda for like 3 months
now. I used to buy some every week. But now I buy Clear American. Isn't that
what you used to drink dad? I buy like 6 of the one liter's. And that's what I
drink at home. K some spanish member here said that J. Marriott pays 90%
tithing... There's no way that's true. Dad? haha. So remember how my areas just
got more and more ghetto? Well this is definitely the nicest, but at the same
time, I've never heard so much sirens in my life ha. At least twice a day we
hear some sirens. It's kinda funny. We haven't made it downtown or to the mall
yet. We don't have the miles.. So next P-day hopefully. I got the package.
Thanks. Can you send me some food? Like chips and snacks.. I didn't have a lot
of money on my msf so I couldn't get a lot of food today. So that would make me
happy :) Look at mormon channel and watch the Alex Boye music video for
"Have I Done Any Good in the World Today". And the "Stay Within
the Lines" video. B Lomu is in it. Haha. K I love you guys! I gotta go
play some bball. Love you!
