Well I'll just jump right in and give a summary of some highlights this week!
-After we found out about transfers we made a LOT of cookies, like a TON haha and went to say bye to some of the members! It is so crazy because I was only in Ocala for about 3 weeks and MAN I miss it so much! We all made such strong connections with the people we were teaching and the members! It was rough saying goodbye!
-Last week we were able to have one last lesson all together with Jesus, Elizabeth, Evee and Victor! A highlight from those I want to share was with Victor! He was our last lesson Wednesday night and so that meant that was our last lesson teaching as a companionship! For the lesson we had planning on just reading wherever he was in the BOM so we could help him study! Wellllll turns out he was in 1 Nephi 10. We started reading and next thing we knew we were talking about baptism! We extended a baptismal date again to him and he just looked at us and smiled. He said he would pray about it for reals and give us an answer on Saturday! It is so crazy how even though we aren't in person, we are able to feel the spirit so strongly. It's like the church is true or something! Haha!
-Thursday rolled around which meant transfers! We got to the mission office and got keys to our new apartment, all that jazz figured out and then we got the keys to our NEW CAR. When I say new car I legit mean new car haha! We got a call a few days before transfers saying that because the church is all out of church owned cars they are renting a bunch out! SO we got lucky enough to be a companionship with a rental! Which means unlimited miles and no Teewee haha teewee is something they put in the car to log where you are, your speed, aggressive driving and all that! But we don't have that so we feel pretty lucky haha! Saying goodbye to Hermana Molvar was rough!!! We are so happy for her though and she will be SO GREAT leading the area in Ocala!!
-We pulled up to our new apartment and we were so pumped! We walked in and looked around and then headed up the stairs..our apartment is TWO floors and is actually massive haha! The only thing is elders were in here before and so Elder Cook who is over housing warned us to take a day to clean.. which is exactly what we did and MAN it is great! Hermana Marler and I are so excited to get started here in Largo!
-We share the branch with elders and they are great! They passed us some people the were teaching because they felt like we would connect better! We had our first lesson just yesterday with one of them and she is so cute! Her name is Karem! We are so excited to get to know her better! Just in 3 days of being here, we already have received a few references and we could not be more excited to get BUSY!
-We were also able to meet more of our zone! They are awesome! Our zone Leaders gave us the sacrament on Sunday and it was just a great and special as ever! I'm so grateful we get to take the sacrament every week!!
-The majority of the past few days have been spent making cookies and taking them to members! The members here are AMAZING! I am so excited to get to know them better!
This week was filled with cleaning and meeting members so just wait till next week haha!
I wanted to share some quotes with you all about what I've been studying this week. :)
I have been reading President Nelson's talks everyday and I think my favorite from this week was "With God Nothing Shall Be Impossible" even the title of the talk gave me chills!
"God has timeless trust in us"
"The Lord employs the unlikely"
"Is anything too hard for the Lord?"
In this talk he talks about things that are "impossible" that the Lord did. It was crazy to read about them from this perspective. He talked about how a virgin became a mother, a 90 year old woman became a mother, and so many more stories like these ones in the scriptures. I loved the last quote, "is anything too hard for the Lord?" Nothing, NOTHING is impossible to the Lord. He created us as individuals to develop our own talents and abilities. God does the impossible. I am so grateful for the knowledge we have of our loving Heavenly Father!
My challenge this week is this!
Awhile back I made a goal to end my night with a gratitude prayer and always start my morning with a gratitude prayer. There's been times this week that have been really hard for me, times when usually I would spend a long time asking for things. This week I want to challenge all of you to start and end each day with a gratitude prayer! As I've been doing this for awhile now, I really have seen a difference in my day.
I hope you all know how much I love you! And how much I love this gospel. I love waking up every day and being a missionary! This gospel is true:)
LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!
Hermana King :)
