Sorry, it has taken me so long to
write back, we went to the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia for Pday and we are just
getting back.
Anyway, this week has been a bunch
of adventures. First we had a trade off with the sister training leader
coordinators (like AP's but not). It was so nice! I was able to get some
suggestions on how we could work with our Ward a little more and what we could
do to help them get really involved in the missionary work. I also got to
realize how much I have matured on my mission. I always love those little
glimpses of my progress, it is very encouraging.
So we have been working with a few
people, but they don't seem to have been able to get answers to their prayers.
Please pray that Marilee and Donna (names changed) will be able to receive an
answer that this is the true church of Jesus Christ upon the earth today. There
are so many people here who are on the verge of conversion, they just have to
exercise a leap of faith and they will receive their answers,
So today we went to the Okefenokee
swamp! It was amazing! We saw two alligators in their natural habitat! We also
went on a commercial water taxi ride through the swamp. It was so beautiful! I
bought some cool souvenirs that I will send home maybe for Christmas or I might
just give them to you when I come home! We also got to see the Chesser house,
which is a really old swamp house in the middle of the Okefenokee. We finished
our day with a hike to a tower in the middle of the swamp and at the top you
could look out across the entire swamp! It was so beautiful! I am so lucky to
be able to be in such a beautiful place!
Last week after I emailed y'all we
went and visited with a less active family and they had 40 snakes and a pet
raccoon! You know me I just had to hold the snakes and let the raccoon climb on
my back and give me kisses! I feel like I am a great adventurer out here in the
Florida jungle!
Anyway, I love you all so very much!
Keep up the good work! Also read Elder Scott's talk again (i think I sad that
last email, but I am just making sure!)!
