Week 9 Daytona Beach

This week was an awesome week teaching wise! We were able to see a lot of miracles. The main way we have been doing finding is actually because of the hurricane that His about a month ago. Members of the ward have been referring us to people they helped clean up from. It's been a goldmine!

We had a pretty funny experience Saturday night. We had stopped to teach a recent convert of ours named Paul. We had a great lesson with him for about 30 minutes and walked back out to get in our car and it was gone!!! We had some run ins with a few kids in that complex the previous times we stopped by so immediately I assumed they had stolen our car. We called 911 and explained. Well, it turns out the car actually wasn't stolen. It had been towed! Apparently we are not aloud to back into parking places in that specific complex. We called a few members and finally got someone to help us out and go get our car. We didn't get back until super late that night.
Our investigators are all super flakey here in Daytona. They all are willing to set a baptism date but none are willing to follow through with it! It's super frustrating! We're working on finding some ways to fix this problem. We had a lesson with a lady this week named Shirley. It was super cool. We knocked and she came outside already almost in tears because we had stopped by. She said she already knows this is true even though we had barely taught her anything. We shared the story of Joseph Smith and then testified of the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is so true! She broke down in tears as we explained it. She was so excited! I don't feel like I even did anything that lesson. It just goes to show how this truly is the Lord's work. We are just his tools he uses to work with. 

I hope you guys all have a great week!
