Whats up FAMILY!!!!!
I can't believe i am already back here emailing you all once again!! The weeks just fly by and pretty soon i'll be over the hump which just doesn't make any sense at all to me!!! haha but It is what it is and i still have a lot of work to do in Florida thats for sure!! We had another amazing week though!! We truly did!!
The highlight was obviously yesterday at church!! We were able to get 2 families there for a total of 6 people. The one family was Derek and his two boys Raheem and Jaheem or (aka RARA and JAJA) haha they are studs that....... GOT BAPTIZED YESTERDAY :) haha i'll tell you about that later on. But also we had angela and her two girls come. She is a miracle that is for sure. What happened was angelas water in her apartment got turned off. 2 days later we knocked on her door and gave her a blessing. She knew it was a sign from god. She knew not having money to pay the water bill was a trial or a test sent from god. The only reason she didn't have money to pay it was because the check that she is supposed to receive each month got sent to the wrong house and that person stole it and cashed it. So she basically has nothing for this month. BUT she understood it was a test sent from god and god made that happen so that she would be open to our prayer when we knocked! It was awesome! We helped round up some money for her and we helped her... but we didn't help her with all of it. We did that so she would have to show faith and desire to receive it from god. Each time we went over she wanted us to help her soooo badly. We told her we would have loved to but we didn't have extra money like that. We told her all she can do is trust and god and have faith in him so that he can provide a way for her to get the other half of the money she needed to pay her water bill. Well one lesson afterwards we told her as she was crying... Angela we want you to get on your knees and ask god to provide a way for you to receive this money! As she did she said the most beautiful prayer!! It was amazing! she was crying and pleading to god with all her heart. It was a sincere prayer. Well 3 hours later she called us and said she found a way of getting the other half of her money! She did it... God did it! He prepared a way for her. It was such a testimony builder for me with the power of prayer. We have to be sincere and do it with all our heart! God grants us blessings according to our desires!! What a great god he is!!
Okay on to the baptism!! :) So we baptized RARA and JAJA... well their father derek baptized them. Derek is a recent convert and was baptized 3 months ago.Big buff black guy with GOLD TEETH!! haha Now he baptized his 2 kids. I was so special! To see him do it was something else. It took him awhile to finally get it right but he got it!! They were both baptized and right afterwards they came up to us and said... WELL we will see you at church next week!! haha Their both 11. TWINS. Elder thompson and i were so blessed. We have been working with them and teaching them for a few weeks. They were ready and were awesome! We just have to keep them involved and loving the gospel. I'll send a picture of them:) i'll try at least!!
I got the package!! It was the best haha i loved it! I've been talking in the recorder everyday! i'm going to try and send some recordings home today we'll see if it works. Idk if it'll let me but we'll see. I need to go and buy a little memory card for it! I want to do my journal on that. It really is so much better. I can say everything in like 5 minutes with detail and it's super funny!! Then after the mission i'll have to hire aynsley or someone to type it all up for me so i can put it in a book haha but anyways i love it!! Even used it in a few lessons!! Espanol lessons :)
