Daytona has 2 weeks out of the year they dedicate to
"Bike week." One was this passed week and one is in February. There
were literally thousands of motor bikes here over the weekend. All day from
Thursday to Sunday it was nonstop revving their engines. We counted about 500
bikes on 2 hours then we finally gave up.
The work here is going great! Our top investigators right
now are Henry, Marlo, and Lamish, Brother Valesquez "Papi", and
Hannah. We found Henry after he requested a bible. He is an awesome man who is
in a wheel chair. He lives with Marlo and Lamisha who are awesome too! We've
been meeting with them just about every day this passed week. They're all
super pumped for their baptism which is November 13th!
Brother Velasquez is getting baptized on November 20th! He
an old fellow from puerta rico which is why he got he name Papi. He loves it
too! We showed up to his house the other day and were like, "Papi! Let's
go check out the church and we'll give you a tour." So we hopped in our
cars and gave him a tour of the church. The spirit was so powerful! We set the
baptism date with him. He also came to church Sunday as well.
Brett is waiting to get off probation which was suppose to
be last week but was delayed by the hurricane so hopefully he gets off this
week. He plans on getting baptized right after he gets off.
The last investigator who is progressing really well this
week is Hannah. She is a single mom and about 20 years old. She knows the Book
of Mormon is true but her family is completely against the church. She is in
the middle of making her decision whether or not to basically be against her
family and join the church. We met at the church for a lesson with her this week
and she told us how she carries her Book of Mormon everywhere she goes. She
said anytime she is angry, scared, or not happy she just pulls the Book of
Mormon out of her bag and holds onto it and it makes her happy and peaceful!
The gospel is so true! I have never been happier in my life
as I am now because I get to see the eternal blessings this gospel brings to
people right before my eyes. There was a talk in conference that was about how
we too often take the gospel for granted rather than counting our blessings
that it brings.
Well I hope you all have a great week!
