Hey squad, as of Saturday I am now a missionary in the Florida Tallahassee Mission! I got booted from Alabama which is a shame, but I'm excited for what the FTM will bring. Also with that, we have some different rules so I am not allowed to message friends over facebook messenger, so if you would like to chat please reach out to me via email!
On Tuesday last week we visited the Parsons family and they have a few teenagers who we've been visiting and so we decided to all paint Books of Mormon with them and it was so fun, they were all stressing about what to paint on there. I tried to paint the ocean on mine lol, it's not done yet, lol.
The next day we had district council- last one of the transfer and later we had dinner with this cute lil fam, but we mixed it up and we brought the food! So us and the Elders cooked for them and we had like a lil picnic it was really cute. Sis Huish also made a tower of Babel out of our food containers. (Pictured below) We also visited this sweet sister in our ward who is going through a really hard time and we were able to share a conference talk that she really needed to hear and the Spirit was very strong
On Thursday we had our last Zone Conference in the ABM and we had to say goodbye to the Chibotas and a bunch of mission friends, which was soooo sad. :( But I know there is so much good ahead. The ZC was so spirit filled and there were so many things that I really needed to hear. We talked a lot about conversion and giving our all to the Lord, it was all really good. We each got to say goodbye to the Chibotas individually and it was very special, I am so grateful for them, they truly have become my 2nd parents out here and they have been so kind to me, they are forever my friends. Also got to see some missionary friends again so that was fun! We laughed, we cried, but it was a great time.
On Friday we went out to Alabama because we do have a chunk of it in our area but it's like boonies boonies. But we got to visit some awesome members out there and eat at a place called The Gator Cafe, haha. There's a street out there called Mormon Temple Road because there's an old church building on it haha, had to snap a pic. It was only fitting because it was our last day in the ABM and our last time in Alabama. We also got to have FHE with the Parsons and we were all laughing so hard the whole time.
The next day we helped a family move into the ward and then after that all our plans fell through so we decided to ask God who we should visit and we both thought of a couple families and they all said that we could come by and one of them even gave us dinner! That night we had a Zoom call with our new mission leaders, the Trustys! They seem super awesome and they were so excited to meet us! We get to meet them in person this Wednesday we are so excited!
Yesterday we had dinner with Jasmine and her family which was super fun. I love it here.
Spiritual thought:
The messages that we heard at Zone Conference really stood out to me. They taught us about how we need to be truly converted to Jesus Christ. and that's something that is very personal and individual and I know it's super important. I just know that God wants all of us to come to know him and Jesus Christ and that when we do things that are in line with God's will, we will come to know him better. We all just need to serve with all our heart might mind and strength- which can be hard to do. So just keep doing your best, y'all got this!
