A Little Burst of Speed

Hello Everyone!

Let's just say the Florida sun is doing it's job.

So the work picked up a bit this week! We were able to find 10 new investigators, and 3 of them came to Sacrament [meeting]! That doesn't sound like a lot, but it's the first time we've really been able to get anyone to come to church, so that's good! 

We still do tons of knocking, mostly because appointments are virtually impossible to keep for some reason. Even when we call them or text them that morning and they say we're good to stop by, when we get there they're either not home or sleeping. Maybe it's just Miami, but it seems like everyone just goes to work and then sleeps when they get home. And a lot of people work nights so they sleep during the day. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, we are always getting yelled at for waking them up. haha.

A couple highlights from the people we found:

1. Rudy- A super cool white guy we knocked into (there's not many of those around here!) He has a Doctors degree in Religious Arts and was basically Mormon without knowing it, but when church came around he dropped us over the phone because it was too hard to leave his church of 21 years. Bummer.

​I don't mean to brag,
but we decked out our apartment for Valentine's Day.​

2. Roscoe- A super cool guy that virtually committed to baptism right at the door. He really wanted to come to church and even bring his little brother and cousins with him, but got called to work at the last minute. Bummer. Still working with him though.

3. Kimberly- She's the one that actually came to church, and brought 2 friends with her! Found her knocking as well, seems to really understand the message but still has a little problem with "Mwen batize deja" (I'm baptized already). A common problem, but we can work with that.

That's pretty much it, sorry I don't have crazy stories, my memory is bad sometimes. I included some pictures from Valentine's Day though, aka the lamest holiday as a missionary! Haha. It was great though, cuz we got an awesome care package from home (thanks!). 

Love all y'all!

Lanmou,
