Finding New People to Teach

Dear Family and Friends,

Spiritual Thought of the Week: "God doesn't use a floodlight when a flashlight will do."

and "We are all CREATED for a happiness that endures." -Lasting Happiness

This week marks the first week of the transfer. Sister Snow and I will be staying together for another six weeks. I love serving with her. She is very inspiring in all she does and all she is. We have loads of fun together too,  so I know that this transfer is going to be awesome. The transfers are beginning to fly by SO fast. I feel like I just got to Sarasota last week.

Family home evening at the Bizzaro's. Sergio is a member and his wife and
children are investigating. The Castillo's were there with us it was great!

This week we saw several miracles. It seems that when we became creative in our finding was when we found our greatest potentials. We decided to help a less-active's friend with her English the other day only to find that this girl (named Lady) had been meeting with the missionaries in Honduras! We asked her if she wanted to be baptized and she said yes! So we gave her a Book of Mormon and have been teaching her ever since.

We've also been teaching a new investigator named Jorge. We met him by walking around in a trailer park one day. He told us that everyone has tried to talk him into going to their church and he's never wanted a part in it but felt like he met us for a reason. We had an amazing first lesson with him at a member's home and then he came to church on Sunday. It was great! 

These are the best tacos in the world!

We also had several other great member present lessons this week. Our members are great. We love them. I absolutely love this area! We had several family home evenings with several of our members and investigators which turned out to be a success. It's true what Harold B. Lee said, "The most important of the Lord's work you will ever do WILL be within the walls of your own homes." 

For P-day this week we went to Miaka, a nature park in our area, with our sisters. It was beautiful and so fun to spend time with the other sisters. One more reason why I love being Spanish is  because our area covers their areas and we can spend p-day with them. I will be sure to send home some pictures.
