<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well it looks like this is it. I don't have a lot of time but I just want to share a few things I've learned from my mission. </span></span></div>
<ol style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<li style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Book of Mormon is true. I know it is. It is as simple as that. There have been times where I doubted on my mission. I questioned why this is so hard. It's at those times that I fall to my knees and go back to the foundation of the gospel. I ask if the Book of Mormon is true and I receive and answer.</span></span></li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/32.26-43" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: blue;">Alma 32:33-34</span></a></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: normal;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">"33 And now, behold, because ye have tried the experiment, and planted the seed, and it swelleth and sprouteth, and beginneth to grow, ye must needs know that the seed is good.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: normal;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">34 And now, behold, is your knowledge perfect? Yea, your knowledge is perfect in that thing"</span></span></div>
<ol start="2" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<li style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Charity is the greatest of all gifts from God. We must view others in the perspective of Christ. "Walk with Christ" as President Eyring says it. I have come to love the people so much on my mission. They are not just random people, they are sons and daughters of God with the potential of becoming like Him! What a neat experience it has been to see this change in myself, a change of perspective.</span></span></li>
</ol>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: normal;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: normal;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">48 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen."</span></span></div>

We cannot just live the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the mindset that it is something we are suppose to do. We must seek to become rather than just seeking to do.</span></span></li>

If any of you are deciding whether or not you should serve a mission, Go! It is worth every second of it.

We saw a lot of success with our </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">investigators and I also got to go to the temple for my departing </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">temple trip. It's always nice to be able to do that.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">An update on our investigators. Gildardo is doing awesome! He has been </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">reading a lot and was super close to committing to baptism. We read </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.lds.org/search?q=mosiah+18%3a10&lang=eng&domains=scriptures"><span style="color: blue;">Mosiah 18:10</span></a><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">with him which says, </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"If this be the desire of your </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">heart, then what have ye against being baptized?"</span><span style="font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> The spirit was </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">powerful and testified to my heart and I know he felt it but he didn't </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">quite accept it :/ eventually he will have that desire in him. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a good lesson with Michael too. He opened up a lot to us and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">said that his goal is to one day go inside the Salt Lake City Temple. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We explained that he would have to be baptized in order to do that and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">he said he knew that. Gildardo and Michael are the reason I am here in </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Sebring. They have become some of my best friends.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">A missionary once told me that you go on your mission to find your </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">friends. I know that all the people I have met from Orlando to Lake </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Placid, Clermont to Daytona Beach, and now Sebring are all the friends </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">that I was suppose to find. The pas two years have been the best of my </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">life. If you are on a mission, value it. The time you have left is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">sacred so don't waste it. If you haven't gone in a mission yet, go! I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">haven't regretted a second of it. It has changed me forever. I know </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">this church is the Lord's kingdom here on earth. Live the gospel of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Jesus Christ to the fullest and don't ever take it for granted because </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">many people don't have it in their lives but we do.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I had the opportunity to go to the temple this past week. What a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">special and sacred place! I can't wait to be able to go more often! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">While in there pondering on my mission, the spirit touched my heart so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">powerfully. I don't cry very often but I will admit, I did this time! </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">What a great experience that I will never forget.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you all have a great week! See you all in a couple weeks!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Elder Goff</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Our Temple Trip</span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time's winding down. It's crazy to think how fast time flies. It's a bitter sweet feeling. You can change a lot <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_199872489" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">in 2 weeks</span></span> though so I'm going o make the most of it!</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a super good week once again. I did a little tour of the zone the first part of the week. I went to Vero Beach on exchanges Monday night then Tuesday night I went to Okeechobee and stayed there until Thursday morning at District Meeting. It was a good time. We saw a pretty sweet miracle Wednesday. Elder Haderlie and I were on exchanges and we drove past this guy walking down the road when I got a strong impression we needed to talk to him so we turned around and did so even though we were already late for a meeting at the church. He told us that his sister is a member of our church and that he would be down to meet with us and his sister for a lesson. We went to his sister's house and talked to her as she was walking out the door. It was the first time she had met with missionaries in about a year. She was stoked to see us! The Lord provides when we listen to the Spirit. We showed up late to our meeting but with a good excuse.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saturday we had dinner with Gildardo and Lady. Lady is a member and Gil is an investigator we have been teaching for a while. They are so cool! We gave him a soccer ball and in turn he gave us a home grown sugar can and a papaya. He also sent a super cool text the following day telling how we are friends for life! What a cool family. Pray that we will be able to set a baptism date with him soon!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">This week was another great one! For me physically it was a little </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">rough because I was a sick but spiritually it was as awesome as ever. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">Our investigators are doing well. The main people we are teaching </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">right now is Bob (we found him at the start of last transfer and he </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">has come to church every </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1562380959" style="background-color: white; border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;"> since), Michael R., Gildardo "Gil", </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">Paul, Damian, Steven, and Zoe. The are all super prepared and will </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">probably all get baptized sometime soon but we haven't been able to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">set a date with any of them yet so if you could help us out with some </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">prayers for them!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">We had a pretty sweet experience this week. We went into a super </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">ghetto apartment complex to teach a less active named Marco. Marco was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">talking to a few of his friends so we approached them and asked if we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">could share a message with them. One of the guys there is what you </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">call the go to guy or "the plug." He was all tattooed up, had a gold </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">grill, and a chain necklace. He was a rough looking guy to say the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">least. As we testified of our savior and the Restoration of the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">gospel, I witnessed this rough looking man break down in tears. We </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="color: #222222;">read from </span><a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/mosiah/3.5-12?lang=eng#p4"><span style="color: blue;">Mosiah 3:5-12</span></a><span style="color: #222222;"> which testifies and witnesses of Christ. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">"There is no sin or transgression, pain or sorrow, which is outside of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">the healing power of His Atonement." The spirit was so strong! We </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">started out with 3 people we were teaching and as we taught people </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">would walk over to see what we were talking about and by the end of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">the lesson there was a pretty good size group of people. Our </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">invitation to them all was to repent. I felt like Alma or Ammon </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">declaring repentance to the wicked Lamanites! It was a good time. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">There is so much power in the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">We have been doing group chats with our investigators over Facebook </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">Messenger with our investigators and members. It has been working </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">miracles. Bob had a concern about some deep doctrine he came across so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">he voiced his concern over the group chat. Immediately the members </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">reached out and helped him. At church yesterday Bob seemed to be </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">weighed down with the concern so the same member in he group chat </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">pulled him aside to a classroom and helped him have some peace. Later </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">that night the Bishop who is also on the group chat asked Bob if he </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">would like to sit down and meet with him and us. He did and it was a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">sweet lesson! I love this work and this Gospel!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">I hope everyone has a great week! Never take this Gospel for granted </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">because there are people who have been searching for it their entire </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">lives. Love you guys.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;">Elder Goff</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elder Arnson and I have been working with Facebook and it is producing miracles! We don't use it to post things, we just use it for Facebook we have been doing is creating group chats between our investigators, us, and members. It's super nice because it fills in all the days where we aren't able to meet with them for lessons.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also was blessed enough this week to be a part of a huge miracle! One of the coolest of my missions. I was in an exchange with Elder O'hare and we had decided to contact a bible referral (she ordered a bible so we deliver them). We contact this lady and she was polite but wasn't interested. We get back to the car and I got this very distinct prompting saying to turn around and do more work in this area. Obviously a promoting to my heart from the spirit. So we do so. It's about <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_215586697" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:30</span></span> at night and on top of that it was raining so everyone seemed to not want to listen. We were determined however. We decided that we would knock every door in this small complex that had a light on. The second to last door a man answered and he said, "Hey. You want to come in?" That's one of the best lines to hear as a missionary! Long story short, this guy is super Down! His name is Fritz and he has been living in Avon Park for about 4 months and hasn't had anyone come visit him. The cool part is that just before we knocked, he was talkinon the phone with one of his good friends from Miami who is actually a member of the church! She even had taken him to church with her before! We called her during the lesson and had her bare her testimony to him. He is like 26 and a straight up stud! "My beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, [Nope!!!]"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It breaks my heart that I only have a few weeks left out here. I have never come to love people so much. If you haven't served a mission or are thinking about going, don't hesitate! Do it!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a lot of ups and downs this week. So first off, Elder Arnson is a stud! He is from American Fork, Utah and he is a black belt. It's a win win. I get a new friend and a personal body guard for 6 weeks! What more could you ask for!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately we had a bad turn with a few of our investigators. Judeler who was preparing to be baptized on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_215586695" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">June 10th</span></span> suddenly moved to Kentucky for college without any notice. He was planning on just visiting for art but then I guess they asked him to stay so he did. Damian who also is preparing for baptism on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_215586696" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">June 10th</span></span> had a bit of a hold up with some commandment issues. He has been avoiding us so if you could pray that we can get things worked out with him. We are just going to keep working hard. There are so many prepared people here in Sebring. We just need to find them! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A cool miracle of the week was that one of our investigators that we have been trying to get to church forever finally came! Her name is Mirtha. She is a slightly crazy but super sweet old Spanish lady from Puerto Rico. We called her Sunday morning and she said she was coming then about 2 minutes before sacrament we felt prompted to call her again so we did. She was lost! Somehow she ended up 5 miles away in a retirement community looking for the right street number for our church. We finally were able to direct her to the church although we ended up being 10 minutes late to sacrament but hey Mirtha made it to church!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #454545;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As I was pondering during sacrament meeting I asked Heavenly Father why this work is so hard. Why do the people we teach not just run to us asking us to baptize them? My answer came in the words of a scripture </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">"...know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good." - </span></span><a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/122.7-9"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">D&C 122:7</span></a><span style="color: #454545; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> When life is tough or when we are faced with frustration or depression or sorrow, we can always learn from it and gain experience that shall be for our good. </span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Got some transfer news this week. Looks like I'm sticking
around Sebring for my last transfer! I love this place. There are so many good
people here who are just friendly people. Everyone will wave at you which is
not normal for Florida. Unfortunately, Elder McKee will be leaving me. He has
been here for 6 months so he is ready to move on. Actually he will be
transferred to my first area which is Conway East so that's pretty cool. My new
companion is going to be Elder Arnson. I haven't met him yet but I've heard he
is awesome.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our investigators a doing well. Judeler is in Kentucky for
an art competition so he was gone all week. We reset Damian's baptism date to June
10th which is the same as Judelers so we should have to baptisms that day.
Judeler also has a few friends we are teaching too so we call them the Haitian
crew because all 4 of them are Haitian. They all come to the church for a
lesson on Thursday nights.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Some other news is that we will be getting Facebook to work
with. Yup that's that. Should be interesting. Not sure what to expect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
Here is a cool miracle from the week: Elder McKee and
I were headed to a lesson when we saw a guy sitting outside in a wheel chair
watering his lawn. We felt prompted to turn around and go talk to him even
though we might be late to our lesson but we did it anyways. His name is Bill
and as we talked with him I felt an immediate love for him. He seemed
depressed. As we talked a bit more he opened up to us and said his wife just
passed away and he was getting ready for her memorial service. We asked him,
"What if we could show you how you and your family could be together
forever even after we die?" His face lit up! We taught him about the
Atonement of Jesus Christ and the hope that He brings to our lives. He wanted
to know more but was leaving town so we plan to follow up with him when he
returns in a couple weeks. We missed our next appointment but it was definitely
worth it. I was talking to a young man this week who wants to serve a mission.
He is only 16 but was asking some questions about it. I explained how the Lord
is preparing people right now for him to teach when he serves his mission. I
know that Bill was one of those people that was being prepared for me to teach
him when I was 16 because about 3 years ago he had a stroke which confined him
to a wheel chair. Now his wife just passed away and his heart is softened. I
love this Gospel! </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">"My beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText";"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another week down. It was a good one too! We are teaching a lot of great people! We got a new Ward Mission Leader. His name is Preston and he is only 20 years old and has only been a member of the church for 6 months! This past week he came teaching with us 3 times for the entire day each time! I have never seen someone so converted to the gospel. He came from a pretty rough life but now is working on his mission papers. It's pretty crazy!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText";"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Judeler is doing great. We moved his baptism date to <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1157782323" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">June 10th</span></span> to give him time to quit drinking coffee and when we met with him he hadn't drank it in over 4 days! We had a lesson with him <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1157782324" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on Thursday</span></span> where he brought a bunch of friends. We set baptism dates with them too for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1157782325" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">June 24th</span></span>. Their names are Djephsondy "Jeff" and Zoe (not sure what his real name is ha). We also found another part member family a couple weeks ago and challenged the nonmember husband to read the Book of Mormon. Well we taught him <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1157782326" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Wednesday</span></span> and he is already to Mosiah so he is loving it. His name is Gildardo and his wife's name is Lady.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText";"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course the best part of the week was <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1157782327" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span>. I got to hear from my family! I'm so blessed to have the family I do. And especially the mother that I do. As the 2,000 young warriors of the Nephites were asked to face the Lamanites army they said the didn't fear because they had been taught by their mothers not to doubt. As they acted on the faith which their mothers helped them gain, they defeated the army of the Lamanites without a single one of them dying. I feel like a modern day stripling warrior being taught to have great faith by my Mother.</span></span></div>

I honestly </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">cannot believe how fast time has gone. We saw several miracles this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">week.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Sister Stichler and Bob, one of our investigators, opened up to us </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">this week. They told us of their experience they had a couple weeks </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">back. Sister Stichler has been less active for over a decade and Bob </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">is a devote catholic. They were having some serious trials in their </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">life. They both were praying for help the same day without telling </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">each other. Well about 2 hours after Bob prayed for help, Elder McKee </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">and I showed up not knowing them at all. We had a short lesson and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">felt prompted to offer them a priesthood blessing so we did. After the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">blessing Sister Stichler was crying but we didn't think too much of it </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">at the moment until is past week when they told us of the experience. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">They have been to church the past 3 weeks in a row and Bob is starting </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">to have a change of heart and accept the gospel! Its super hard to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">explain the feelings and details in words. This is the Lord's work and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">w are simply just his hands. There is a reason for everything whether </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">we know it or not!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I taught a few lessons in Spanish this week. I used a lot of google </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">translate and then just a few words that I knew. I'm getting to the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">point where I can understand a lot of Spanish I just can't speak any </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">of it. One family we taught is Juan and Carol. They aren't married but </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Juan wants to get baptized before I leave so hopefully I can get </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">something worked out. During one of the lessons we had with him this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">past week there was a knock at the door and it was Jehovah Witnesses. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">It got real awkward and I won't get into any details but the good news </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">is that they came to church with us Sunday!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We have a bunch of other people we are working real closely with! The </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Lord sure is blessing us here in Sebring. The further into my mission </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">that I get the greater appreciation I have for the gospel and the Book </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">of Mormon. We would be lost without it. I'm just about to finish it </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">again and then I'll be starting it over once again.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Hope you all have a great week!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Elder Goff</span></span><br />

Damion and Judeler are both solid for their </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">baptism date on May 27th. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> We committed Judelers friend Jeff to be </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">baptized on June 10th</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> this week too.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I went in another exchange to Lake Placid (one of my past areas) and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">we had dinner with Brother Short and the Bacevic Family which are 2 of </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">my most favorite families in the world! It was pretty great!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Today we went fishing in Okeechobee which is where they have the big </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">bass tournaments every year. I hooked a monster fish that I would </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">guess to be about 10 lbs but as I was about to get him in he shook the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">hook off. I about cried! It was the biggest bass I have ever seen in </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">my life! I caught a big catfish though so it's all good. Also we had </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">an alligator that kept sneaking up on us but we were up in a bank so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">he didn't have any way to bite us haha. And he was just a little </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">fella.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Well I had another amazing week!

Week 2 in Sebring was a great one. Honestly I feel like </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I say that every week but it's true everything about the mission is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">great!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">So I had the opportunity to go on exchanges to Lake Placid this week. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I got to see my recent converts from a year ago!!! It was super good </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">to see them. I sure miss that place. We also taught a few of the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">investigators I had worked with. We picked up a few new investigators </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">from it too. It was awesome to be back!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We also had ZTM this week. I thought I might be done giving trainings </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">in Zone Meetings for the rest of my mission since I left Daytona but </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">then I got asked to give another training at this meeting. It was good </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">though. I talked about how we need to set the stage for the spirit to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">teach through us. I feel like that is one of the secrets to a mission. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We don't even need to be good at speaking, if we are worthy of the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">spirit and prepare others to be taught, we don't even do anything in </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">their conversion process. It's all the spirit!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Our investigators are doing good. We had a few new people come to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">church. There is a part member family we found this past week that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">came. The wife is less active and the husband is not a member. He is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">actually catholic but decided he wanted to try our church out. Judeler </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">is doing well. Also Damion is too. They are both still good for their </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">baptism date May 27th!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Well time is sure flying by! When I started my mission I felt like I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">had too much time on the mission and now I don't feel like I have </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">enough. Time is sacred especially when you are serving the Lord! I was </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">talking to an Elder while back and he said he just wanted to chill to </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">the end of his mission. He said he just wants to listen to real music </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">and do normal things until the end of his mission. As I pondered on </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">that later I thought about our Savior and His mission here on earth. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">It's sure a good thing He didn't just chill to the end of his mission. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Towards the end of His mission here on this earth he literally changed </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">the world.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Love you all!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Elder Goff</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">TJ and Ashanti</span></span><br />

I'm loving Sebring! There are so </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">many prepared people here. Elder McKee is awesome! He's been out about </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">9 months and is from Mesa Arizona. I'm super excited about this </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">transfer.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We are teaching a few people who are great. Judeler is a Hatian kid we </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">are teaching that is preparing to be baptized on May 27th.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> He loves </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">this church. He even gave a Book of Mormon to one of his friends and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">is already considering a mission! I'm super excited for him. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We set a Baptism date with a kid named Damion. He knows this gospel is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">true and loves it so much. He basically bore his testimony to us in </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">how he knows it's all true. The only problem is that his family is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Catholic and is completely against it but by the sound of it that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">isn't going to stop him. We set his date for May 27</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> also.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We had a pretty cool experience this week. We had about 30 minutes </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">before our next lesson so we were looking through some records and saw </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">a part member family that lived near by so we stopped by. Earlier that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">that we had prayed that we would be led to someone that day searching </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">for the gospel. Well we met Maria. In the past she wasn't able to be </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">baptized but she said her mom now will let her so when her Dad gets </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">back in town next month he will be baptizing her! She said she already </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">has been reading the Book of Mormon and knows it's true. The Lord sure </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">answers prayers for those who are striving to be diligent!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Another miracle happened back in Daytona. Nick got baptized </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Saturday!!! I called President Clark and got permission to skype for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">it so it was as if I was there. It's a pretty long drive back so I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">wasn't able to go in person but I felt the spirit just the same. He is </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">such a stud! I sure am going to miss him.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I took the time this week to study the Atonement of Jesus Christ. It's </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">hard to even comprehend how difficult it must have been for him. The </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">driving source behind His Atonement is charity. "Charity never </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">faileth." The love Christ has for each of us is uncomprehendable. He </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">is risen and now we have hope. We will overcome death and have the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">opportunity to one day live with God in complete joy for eternity. "O </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">how great the Plan of our God!"</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Love you all and hope you had a happy Easter!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Elder Goff</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week was a bitter sweet one. I've got a lot of good news and bad news. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue", arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I guess first I will give the bitter part of the week. I am being transferred. I've been here in Daytona Beach do about 7 1/2 months and have met some lifetime friends. Can't wait to come back and visit! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The sweet part is that I am going to Sebring! That is in the same district as Lake Placid which was one of my past areas. I'll be able to go on exchanges and visit some sweet members and also my recent converts there!!! Man I miss that place so much so I'm super stoked that I get to finish my mission there! My new companion will be Elder McKee. I actually have been in a few exchanges with him so I'm excited about that too. Mission life is great!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The other good news is that Nick passed his interview for baptism. He will be baptized Saturday at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_719800896" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">5:00</span></span>. Unfortunately Sebring is over 3 hours away from their so I won't get to be there for it :/ I'm going to ask the President Clark if I can Skype in for it. We also went a date with a family last week. Their names are Latoya, Nikita, and Archero and will be baptized on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_719800897" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">May 28th</span></span>. Also Johnny is doing really well. We are going to reset his date for baptism tonight, then I leave tomorrow morning. Its such a good feeling to see so much happening here and I'm pretty sad I have to leave it all. But the Lord is calling me to another Promised Land. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was doing some pondering this week on miracles. Just as Mormon teaches us in Moroni 7, "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased because Christ hath ascended into heaven?... And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men." Miracles have not ceased and I know without a doubt that as we live the Gospel of Jesus Christ by excercising our faith and repenting daily, we will see miracles and angels will minister to us. I have witnessed way too many miracles for this church to not be true. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hope all of you have a great week and take the time to recognize the miracles in your life each day.</span></div>

I'm super short on time so I will just </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background: white;">quickly sum it up. Nick is doing great! He is dead
set for his baptism </span><span style="background: white;">in the 15th. He texted us during Conference
explaining how excited he </span><span style="background: white;">is for it. Elder Curl and I found a family of 13
and 10 of them are </span><span style="background: white;">baptism age. It's going to be hard to teach them
all but they show </span><span style="background: white;">some interest so that would be sweet. Finally,
Conference was </span><span style="background: white;">amazing!!! One of my favorite talks was from the
priesthood session </span><span style="background: white;">with President Eyring. I loved how he challenged
each of us to "walk </span><span style="background: white;">with Christ." As we change our perspectives
to the Savior's, we will </span><span style="background: white;">see others with charity. I love this work and I am
truly humbled to be </span><span style="background: white;">a servant of the Lord!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Sorry I was so busy today so I won't be able to
respond to any emails </span><span style="background: white;">but know that I love You!</span><br />

We had some pretty cool miracles. They are teaching an awesome guy who is being baptized soon! It was a ton of fun. Then I went on another exchange <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_752906531" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span> with one of my former companions Elder Dummer! He served with me here in Daytona about 3 months ago! I sure miss that guy and I learned so much from him. It was good to go back to the good old days. We had a sweet miracle in the morning. A random member from Tampa called us and said that a couple of her friends were in the hospital in Daytona from a motorcycle accident and they needed a blessing. We met up there with the member and gave the blessing and taught them about the gospel. They were humbled and were in tears throughout the blessings. They want missionaries to come over as soon as they get back home! The Lord truly does know his sheep and has a purpose for everything. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So some interesting news. Elder Hawkins will be leaving me this week. Elder Curl will be my new companion just for a few weeks. Elder Curl hurt his ankle so he needs to be in an area where there is a car (Daytona). I'm pretty excited for Elder Curl to come but I am sad hat Elder Hawkins will be leaving me.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our investigators are doing super well. The one who is progressing the most is a kid named Nick. He is being baptized on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_752906532" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">April 15th</span></span>! I'm so pumped! We found him about a month ago because he was sitting out on his porch and we decided to talk to him. He has a member friend in Utah who reads with him and always gives him advice. We asked why he wanted to meet with us and he said he just wanted to start a new life! I would never give up these few short years for anything. I was thinking about the thing that has changed the most of the past couple years and I would have to say that it has been my perspective. Life is not about me. I see things in a completely different way now than I used to. I try to see things the way God sees things! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bike week is over finally! It was crazy because here were tons of bikes here which slowed down the traffic and hey are all crazy drivers. We saw a lot of miracles this week that I'll update you on. Also I'll update you on a few of our investigators.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_59812167" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Wednesday</span></span> I had an exchange with Elder Hardman in New Smyrna Beach. Going into the exchange I had been praying diligently that while on this exchange we could set a baptism date. We talked to each other about our goals and he said his was to find 3 new people to teach and mine was to set a baptism date even though they didn't have anyone they were teaching. Well the Lord sure blessed us because we knocked doors all day long and found 7 new investigators. One was named Shawn who we had just met and were finishing up a lesson when the spirit prompted us to challenge him to a baptism date. We did then boldly testified and he accepted! He will be baptized on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_59812168" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">April 29th</span></span> in New Smyrna. It was so cool to see how willing the Lord is to bless us if we simply have a goal and work diligently to achieve it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other Miracle is that we set a baptism date with Nick. He is a YSA that we have been working with for a few weeks. We found him tracting and it turns out that he used to go to church with one of his friends from California. He and his friend now study together over the phone so he texts us almost every day asking us questions. Anyways, he committed to being baptized in <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_59812169" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">April 15th</span></span>. Keep him in your prayers. The other investigator that we are putting a lot of focus in right now is Johnny. He has been suuuppper sick the past 2 weeks so we haven't been able to see him. Really other than those 2 we have a few people who are in idling mode then are doing some finding.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.3px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jed, one of our investigators, taught me a cool lesson this week. We had him study about conversion to prepare for our lesson. He said conversion is simply just changing. To convert means to change in form or character. The way we're become converted is through repentance aka changing and "putting off the natural man and becoming a saint." </span></div>

I guess that is every week huh? The weather </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">has been just like paradise as always. However it is starting to warm </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">up a bit. You only get about 3 months of amazing weather but then for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">the rest of the 9 months is like a sauna.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">The best thing ever happened this week. Hunter who is our recent </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">convert of about 3 weeks baptized his younger brother Gavin on </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Saturday! It was so cool! The spirit was so strong and it was such a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">blessing to watch. About half way through the week Hunter called us </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">asking for a Book of Mormon. He said he had a friend who wanted one. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">I've been blessed to be a part of his conversion from the start. I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">remember a couple months ago when Elder Dummer and I first found him. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">And now he has the priesthood and baptized his little brother. The </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">gospel blesses families!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Other than that it was a normal week. Our investigators are doing </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">good. Johnny was sick so we weren't able to visit him but he is still </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">set for his date in April!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Time is flying by way too fast.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What a week. It was packed with the spirit! We didn't have a whole lot of time to do stuff because we had a ton of meetings but it's all good.<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_331995788" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span> was transfers which is always a busy day.

It was crazy! It's pretty cool though because although we only had a short time to work, the Lord helped us out and we were able to set 3 more baptism dates. I would say that is one of my favorite parts of my mission: being able to recognize that I am just an instrument for the Lord to carry out His work. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our investigators are doing well. We set a baptism date with a cool guy named Johnny. He is such a stud! Every time we go over there he cooks us up some fried chicken. We had a lesson with him <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_331995794" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Tuesday </span></span>where we went in knowing we were going to set a date with him. We taught him about faith, repentance, and baptism. The spirit led the lesson because Elder Hawkins and I were asking the perfect questions at the perfect time. We asked, "Do you have faith in Jesus Christ?" -Yes "Do you know what it means to repent?" - Yes "Then will you follow the example of your Savior and be baptized?" The Spirit reeled the room as he pondered on he question. He then looked at us and said, "I guess that would make sense if I were so yes I will. What do I need to do to be ready?" My favorite thing to hear! He is getting baptized on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_331995795" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">April 2nd</span></span>.

We had a pretty good one here in the Promised Land. The weather has been perfect as always. I guess it's why they call it the sunshine state. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUIText";"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The highlight of the week is once again Hunter. He was confirmed <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1700579991" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span> and he received the priesthood right after. He is going to baptize his younger brother in a couple weeks. It's super cool to see his testimony grow so much. Here in Daytona we cover a family Ward but we also cover a Young Single Adult branch here. In the YSA there isn't very many people so sacrament meeting is always a struggle. Usually they have to call a few people up to bare their testimonies. Well they called Hunter up. He told us in the past that he would never do it because he hates talking in front of people. He bore such a powerful testimony. I know this church is true!</span></span></div>

Probably one of my favorite parts about transfers is making the transfer calls to the rest of the zone. We get some pretty funny responses. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1700579994" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span> afternoon right after we said goodbye to everyone here what do you know, we get a call from President Clark saying to unpack our bags because we are staying once again here in Daytona! I guess he changed his mind. Elder Hawkins is such a good guy and I'm super excited to stay here with him. This is going to be 7 1/2 months of Daytona Beach for me.</span></span></div>

I got to tour our zone a
little bit. In Tuesday and went on exchanges with my former companion. We had a
sweet experience. Elder White and I had about 30 minutes before our next
appointment and decided to do some finding. We both had an impression to knock
on a specific house. We did so and they let us right in! Turns out this Lady's
brother and Father are members. Her Father had actually just passed away. Her
heart was softened and we were able to deliver a Book of Mormon with some
powerful testimonies. What an amazing experience! The spirit is the best. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tuesday night I then went on exchanges to a different area
with Elder Garcia. We exchanged back Thursday morning then Friday night I went
on another exchange. We had another super spiritual experience. It was Elder
Hardman and I. We were trying to find a Less Active member. All we had was a
building number to an apartment complex. There was about 12 apartments to
choose from. We decided we would just knock the whole thing. Well what do you
know, the very first door we knock a little boy comes to the door and his face
lights up. He yelled, "Mom it's the missionaries!" It was the Less
Active family we were looking for. Again we were led by he Spirit. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Unfortunately Hunter wasn't able to make it to church
yesterday so he will be confirmed in church next week. We plan to take him
teaching with us right after that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been studying a lot is week about sanctification.
Sanctification is the process of becoming pure in heart. <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">"8 Blessed are
the pure in heart: for they shall see God." -</span><a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/matt/5.8?lang=eng"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> <span style="color: blue;">Matthew 5:8</span></span></a> I feel like one of
the main purposes of serving a mission is this, to Sanctify our hearts through
the Atonement of Jesus Christ, the reception of the Holy Ghost, and our faith and
repentance. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hope you all have a great week!</span><br />

Florida has
been living up to its name as the sunshine state. It's been sunny and 75 all
week. So I've got some good news and some bad news from this week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last Monday I lost one of my best friends out here. Grandpa
Vic passed away. He had been sick for quite a while and now has moved on. I
spoke at his memorial service on Thursday about the Plan of Salvation. We are
so lucky to have a knowledge of what will happen to us after this life! <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/40.12?lang=eng"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Alma40:12</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> "And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are
righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a
state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles
and from all care, and sorrow."</span> So that's the bad news.</span></div>

Good news, Hunter was baptized!! He is such a stud! I have
seen him change so much from the time we found him to now. He was struggling a
bit with life when we found him. Now he says he gets good grades and is a whole
lot happier. We had the coolest lesson with him Thursday night. We were going
to teach him about missionary work. We met at Wendy's to have dinner with him
and we're planning to teach him there but there was a creepy guy watching us so
we left. As we were walking out this guy followed us and asked us about our
beliefs. Hunter jumped right up and bore his testimony of the Book of Mormon
and the church. We got to a park after that and sat down for a lesson and about
half way through the lesson, a random lady walked up to us and started asking
us questions. I reeled out a card with our phone number on it and was going to
give it to her when hunter reached out and asked if he could give it to her. I
was like, "Of Course!" He walked up and gave it to her then taught
and testified of the Book of Mormon. He is a stud! We've been talking to him
about serving a mission even.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week is going to be short because I don't have a lot of
time today. It's been a read good week with ups and downs. The biggest miracle
of the week is that Hunter passed his interview! He's going to be baptized next
Sunday after church. He was already talking a bit this week about serving a
mission.<br />
<br />
I had a super cool experience this week. So we had someone call and ask us to
go to the hospital to give an old lady a blessing. We got there and she was in
NICU. The nurses told us that she didn't know what was going on at all and that
she might say some crazy stuff to us. We put a gown, gloves and a face mask on
so there was no way she could tell who we were. The nurse was right...at first
at least. As we laid our hands on her head she smiled and closed her eyes.
After he blessing she kept smiling and with a tear rolling down her face she said,
"You guys are the missionaries. Thank you." There was no way she
could tell that we were missionaries but she just knew. The power of the
priesthood is real.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a great week! The gospel is true and if you are debating in
whether or not you should serve a mission, do it. The experiences you have and
the person you become is priceless.<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a great week!<br />

Time
just cruises on by. I guess I can't complain because I am pretty blest. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So this week we had some pretty big changes. I'm sure a lot
of you already know but there was a change in the missionary schedule and he
way we track our lessons. We now do not have nightly planning because it was
moved to part of our morning schedule. We also had companionship study get
moved to later in the day. The whole reason this happened is so that we can get
more sleep <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75"

</v:shape><![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]--></span>I'm sure looking
forward to that! The other thing, we do not track the number of lessons we
teach any more. Really he only thing we keep track of is how many New
Investigators, the number of people who came to church, people on date to be
baptized, and people baptized. It's pretty crazy! I feel like my whole attitude
changed. Now it's seems like it's down to the basics: find, teach, then
baptize.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
Speaking of baptism, we had an unexpected surprise. We got a
call from Hunter (an investigator who originally said he wanted to get baptized
in March) call us and tell us that his little brother is getting baptized March
4th... and Hunters brother wants Hunter to baptize him. Hunter then said he
will do whatever it takes which means he will be getting baptized real soon. We
called the Branch President of the YSA branch we cover because Hunter will be
in his stewardship once he is baptized and asked for his permission to go
through with this. He said yes! Hunter is now going to get baptized on February
12th, get confirmed February 19th, receive the priesthood February 26th, then
baptize his little brother on February 4th. His little brother Gavin will be
getting baptized in another ward though. Keep Hunter in your prayers so that he
can make his date!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Other than that not a whole lot has happened. Brandie and
Diente are not looking like they will make their date for February 19th. We
have had a hard time meeting with both of them. We picked up a new investigator
who I used to teach a few months ago. Her name is Hannah. She was on baptism
date but then her family gave her a lot of problems for it. As we were driving
around, we got the prompting to stop by her house so we did. She says she wants
to try again for baptism!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
We continue to see miracles each day here. I was doing some
pondering his week on the many tender mercies the Lord gives to us. I take them
for granted too often. It's amazing to see his love for us because he is in
every inch of our lives helping us along the way. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I know I say it a lot but I still cannot believe how fast
time is flying by. I still feel like I just got out of the MTC! I guess it's
true when people say time flies when your having fun. Especially here in the
Promised land of Florida.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My new companion, Elder Hawkins is a stud! We are a lot
alike. He came out on a mission 6 weeks after I did. He's from Orem Utah and
comes from a family of 8. He also loves basketball so of course you know what
that means. Since he just came from my last area we have had plenty to talk
about. Good old Clermont seems to be holding up pretty well. I sure miss that
place. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Unfortunately Jimbo dropped us this week. We talked to him
about some requirements for baptism namely the word of wisdom and I guess
he couldn't handle it. Agency is so hard to deal with sometimes. It breaks my
heart. However, Brandie is still doing well. We haven't been able to get her to
come to church yet. So if you guys would like to pray for that, it would sure
help. Diente is doing well also. Unfortunately he didn't come to church either.
It's a struggle! We did have a super cool with Diente though. We taught him
about how to repent and then at the end he said a kneeling prayer pleading for
God to help him change so that he could get baptized. The spirit was so strong.
At the end he said he feels like he is already a member of our church and he
hasn't even been to church yet! His date to be baptized is the 19th of
February.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The other investigator who we have been teaching a lot is a
kid named Hunter. He is a lot like me. His mom is a member and his cousin was
just baptized in another ward. He is a lot like me so it's super cool. He said
he wants to get baptized in march.</span><br />

great week.</span><br />
