Guess what? It's that time again, one of the two greatest days of the
year... MOTHERS DAY!!! I hope you're all as excited as I am, mothers are truly an
amazing gift, especially mine. I'll be skyping home around 4:00 MST, just so all
of you know.
This week was an adventure, we agreed last night that it feels like we've
done nothing and everything all at the same time. It's been a long one so here
we go:
Monday- We had a Zone Development Day. So what happens on a ZDD is we all
get together for some training and activities. It was a complete success!
Everyone had fun. So what we did is the Zone Leaders trained us on committing
people to baptism, then we trained on companionship inventory and the other
sisters trained on personal study.
For our training we had 6 companionships link
arms and then race to get underneath a table and stand back up again. It was
pretty hilarious, and a lot harder than you would think. Then we talked about
how we can get through hard lessons if we lean on our companions for support. It
was pretty short, but everyone enjoyed it. After that, we all went to the park and
had a BBQ and played Ninja and Signs.

Tuesday- We went on exchanges with the Seminole A sisters. I stayed in the
area with Sister Wakefield. It was a good day filled with lessons. We taught
Elouisa and Juan again, we brought President Lopez and he talked with them about
marriage. They are super close...
Wednesday-Our one scheduled appointment fell through, so we decided to do
weekly planning instead of on Thursday because we were booked Thursday.
Regardless, we were able to have some good lessons. We went to Cindy's and taught
the 10 commandments and made cake balls with a kit she had from a member in the
ward. We also found out that we are now teaching in mostly English; Largo has
been changed to a Zebra area. (Spanish and English)

Thursday- More lessons all over the peninsula.
Friday- We went to MLC in Bradington. We were so excited because it was
going to be on the beach. We got there and were all huddled underneath
a pavilion because it was storming all day. We would have stayed at the beach, but the hurricane warning went off, so we had to go to a church instead. I love
MLC meetings though, because it's great to discuss with all the other leaders of
the mission what's going on and how we can resolve problems. News is, some of us
are not doing facebook anymore and emails are in full swing.
Saturday- We had lessons with most of our investigators and a couple
members. I got to see Antonia's new baby, he's so cute!
Sunday- We had the Ft. Lauderdale Temple dedication. Wow! I loved it! Even
though we were just watching the transmission, the spirit was SO strong. I
realized more than ever how blessed I am to have the opportunity to go to the
temple and to be a member of this church. It was so amazingly beautiful. We
watched two sessions, one in English and one in Spanish. I can't wait until I
can go through the temple again!
So that's it. Hope you all have a great week.
Con Amor,
de La Hermana Mathis
