Week 16 Daytona Beach

We had another solid week here in the Promised Land of Florida. It was super eventful. We had a lot of referrals this week too. One of which we were even able to set a date for him to be baptized! His name is James or Jim or Jimbo The 3rd. Whatever you want to call him. We found him through a Less Active member of the ward. He agreed with everything we said even though we don't think he understood everything we were talking about. He would just say, "yup" or "yes sir" in a his southern accent to anything we talked about. So when we popped the question about baptism. He responded with a "yup". So then we asked how February 5th sounded... "Yes sir." He is just a cool southern guy who is looking for more of God in his life.

The rest of our investigators are doing well! Jed came to church again this week. He is super solid! We met with him and he was studying the discourses of Brigham Young. He obviously knows a lot about the church. The only thing holding him back is that he thinks he has to know everything about it before he is baptized into it. When truthfully you don't have to know hardly anything at all about the doctrine just as long as you know the Book of Mormon is true and have received an answer from God. We have a few scriptures in mind that will hopefully help him.

We are starting to see a lot of miracles with all the investigators we are teaching. Tekeam is starting to get back on track. He was suppose to be baptized the first of December but then looked up some anti videos. Bret is still waiting for the court to get back to him about the date for his probation to end. He will be baptized after that. We also found Errol this week! Not sure if you remember him or not but we were teaching him a lot about 2 months ago. He didn't have a solid address and he lost his phone so there was no way to get in contact with him. Well we were driving down the road yesterday and just happened to be at the right place at the right time and found him walking down the road! He was so excited to see us! It was a miracle that we happened to find him!

With the New Year here I hope we all take the prophets counsel when he says, "Choices determine our destiny." We must choose the path to eternal life. Although there are many things attempting to sway us from the path, "I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works, that Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, may seal you his" - Mosiah 5:15

Hope you have a great week! Happy New Year!
