Happy
June! I can't believe it's summer now! Florida doesn't really have
seasons...it's been hot for months, but it's officially "summer time"
now.
Sister Gillman and I have had a good week! We have had a lot of
investigators drop us...so we have been back to doing lots of finding
this week. Lots of talking to everyone and tracting and visiting
potentials. There are about 5 housing complexes...and that is our
area.
Brittany got confirmed yesterday! I loved hearing her
talk about how she felt at baptism and then again when she received the
gift of Holy Ghost.
We had a great lesson with
the Luna family this week. We were at the right place at the right time
and were able to teach one of the teenage daughter's friends that was
there and that sat in on the lesson. Sister Luna said the closing
prayer and she teared up afterwards and said that that was the first
time she had really, from the heart prayed. It was one of those moments
where any trial you've been through seems so worth it for you to be
there at that moment and share the spirit with someone. Teach them how
to be closer to Christ so they can be "self-sufficient" and do it on
their own.
We are working on helping the members gain more
confidence in doing missionary work. There is a great article about it
in this month's Ensign!
I had a lot of dogs slobber on my skirts this week and try to flip up my skirts with their noses. It was extremely annoying.
But I'm still doing good over here! Every week is progress on myself and on the work here in St. Johns! :)
