We had a pretty good week this week. It seems like I say
that every week though haha. It cooled off a bit too. I froze to be honest! It got
down to 36 degrees which honestly sounds like nothing but I guess I'm turning
into a softy. Someone told me that when you gain a pint of blood when you go up
7,000 feet and when you drop 7,000 feet you lose a pint. He said that it takes
about 6 weeks to gain or lose it. So my
blood literally has thinned out. I'm not sure if that is all true or not
though.
All of our investigators are doing great! We have 3 people on date for baptism
right now. Diente has a date for February 19th. He is a 22 year old kid. We
taught him about the Plan of Salvation this week. He
loved it! My mom sent me a Plan of Salvation puzzle for Christmas so that's
been coming in handy recently. The next is Jimbo who has a baptism date for
February 5th. He is still doing super well. He just
has to quit smoking. However, he is determined to make it. The 3rd person
we set a date with this week was perfect. Her name is Brandie. We have been
teaching a less active family named the Spurlin's. They
kept telling us of this friend they had for us to teach. Well we finally got to
teach her. The very first lesson we had with Brandie she said she already knew
this was true. She basically called herself a Mormon before she even started
meeting with us. So to say the least she is super prepared. It's way cool
because the Spurlin's bare testimony to her and teach her. In the process of
helping Brandie get baptized in February 19th, we are reactivating the
Spurlin's. The work here in Daytona is great! We committed Tekeam to a baptism
date again this week. He is praying about it however, I am confident he will accept
the invitation to be baptized.
Well other than our investigators not much else happened this week. We had a
couple good exchanges and are seeing a lot of progress with all the
missionaries in our zone. The Lord truly has his hand in this
work. It's a privilege to be his instrument in bringing about such a marvelous
work and wonder.
Hope you all have a great week and stay warm!
