Hello friends and family!
I hope you are all having a marvelous week!
Okay so are you ready for God's choreography to blow your
mind?!
So before my mission I used to go to lessons with these two
sister missionaries; Sister Goormastic, and Sister Kapelli... They were the two
sister missionaries that were there when I opened my mission call for those of
you who were there... are you ready for this?
So Sister Mohenoa (my comp) knows Sister Kapelli's brother
and kind of knows her from Tonga, and sister Guynn (my other comp) was one of
Sister Goormastic's best friends in high school... like she drove her to school
all the time.
RIGHT?!? We freaked out for several hours about it
yesterday.
So here's my crazy awesome week:
We DOUBLED our number of Gators with a baptismal date
yesterday! So right now we have Louis, Willy, Julia, Kiki, Kristi, and Ana!
Pray for them that they will continue to progress in the gospel! They are all
set for November so the month of thanks is going to be a hoppin’ month! I love
them all so much I can't handle it!
We also have David and Justin who are pretty golden if I do
say so myself. We are hoping to get them on date this week! Pray for them! We
also have several other amazing gators and LARCs we are teaching such as Sister
Trembly who is a recent convert that came to church for the second time in 15
years on Sunday! And Betty who is a RC who also came to church on Sunday, and
Matthew and Babeann's family who have been coming to church!
We also have a potential named Tig who has like 18
motorcycles in his house and he has a white beard that has ponytails in it. He
is super cool and the nicest person ever! We went to his house this week and he
had a huge horseshoe crab just hanging in his tree. It was the weirdest thing
and I really wish I would have taken a picture of it! (I have been terrible at
taking pictures this week.)
The weather is great here! It's perfectly cool and the sky
is always beautiful. I'm in a full car mission so I don't have to ride my bike
in the sun, although I did get a nice tan (sunburn) this week when our car
battery died and we had to stand in the sun while we got it jumped (twice) but
we got a new battery and my burn has faded so life is good!
In response to my mom's questions from last week; we have
dinner appointments a few times a week, but the craziest thing I've eaten is
hamburgers thus far. haha. We do have a washer and dryer in our house so that's
a blessing! I do Steph's conditioning every morning for a half hour so S/O to
Steph for keeping me from getting fat on my mission! You're a peach! My skin
feels great in the humidity and my hair is only slightly frizzy so that's a
good time.
Also, S/O to my tumbling friends and students! Send me an
email telling me how tumbling is going because Coach Sister Reid wants to hear!
Also, tell all the other kids on team to do the same!
I want you all to know that I love you and that I love this
gospel. God is so present in our lives and because He loves us He has given us
so many gifts; my favorite of which would probably be my amazing friends and
family. Thank you for everything and keep sending me love.
"God is good all the time, and all the time God is
good."
Keep reading your scriptures, and don't forget to say your
prayers.
-♥-
Sister Reid
