I've got some big news!! I am being transferred this Thursday to an area called Largo! I am transferring with Hermana Marler so we will be companions for longer!! Largo is righttttt on the coast haha from what we've heard so we are SO EXCITED! They are white washing the area so it will be allll new and empty for us to figure it out!! It'll be a fun, new adventure! Hermana Molvar will be getting 2 more companions coming here to Ocala! I also hit 8 months in the mission on Sunday!! I cant believe it!!! My comps surprised me and decorated my desk with hearts for my 8 months and it was so sweet!!!
We had the best week here in Ocala!! I wanna share some of the highlights with you all!!
Well! We had interviews this week! We did it through zoom and my companions told me as soon has I came out from talking to President that they heard us laughing the whole 20 minute interview hahaha! President Hollingsworth and I both love to laugh so it was a good time!
We also had a "Finding Friday" where everyone in our zone prepared all week to find miracles on Friday!! We pushed and prayed SO HARD! We were planning during daily planning on Friday and we had the feeling to call this reference...she answered and she said she had time right then to talk! WHAT! FIRST hour of miracle Friday and here we are! An hour and a half later of talking to our new friend Evee was just the best!!! We were able to have another lesson with her AND a member on Sunday as well! There were so many miracles from Friday!! It was so crazy!!
We had the funnest service!!! We moved one of our members out and in to a house!!! He took us to McDonald's because the weather got SO SCARY AND SO BAD SO FAST! It was so fun to get out of the house and do service all day!!!!!
Update with Victor!! He has been so so sick lately but we were finally able to start making a few video calls with him! He had date to get baptized and then got sick :( he asked to get a blessing for his health!! We really pushed to power of priesthood with him and he asked all on his own if it was possible to get one! What!! So our branch president, President Grant is headed to his house tonight to give him a blessing. We are so grateful for our branch here! They are amazing!!
Speaking of our branch members, we got a call Saturday (FOURTH OF JULY WOOT) from a member, Hermana Suero saying she had some treats for us! We went to her house and came home with 5 things of bread, 2 sheet cakes, 2 cases of chocolate chip cookies, 2 cases of other cookies and a dozen donuts! WHAT!! OH, and some milk. Haha! We split it with the elders who we share the branch with. But WOWZA! It was a lot!! Haha! Our fourth of July was so great! We got to watch some RAD fireworks and we did pop-its and roasted marshmallows! We had a party and a half!!!
Okay guys I just want to tell you how much I love this gospel!! This past week I made a goal for myself to listen/watch one talk a day from President Nelson starting from the very first one he gave and WOW is it powerful!! It's one of the best parts of my day!! I look forward to it every morning!
My spiritual thought comes from his talk, "Self-Mastery" and boy was it good! One of the quotes I loved is this:
"To reach your highest destiny, emulate the Savior." Wow!! I know that this gospel is based on simple and plain truths. This is a plain and simple truth from our living prophet!! To become our BEST self, we simply focus on how we can emulate Christ.
My challenge to all of you for this week is this!
Pray about a member of the First Presidency. Whichever comes to your mind, start reading their talks daily! It has become such a blessing this past week for me to listen to the prophet's voice!!
Wow I love all you!!! I love being a missionary!!! Thank you all for everything!!!!!!
Love,
Hermana King :)
