HI my LOVED ONES! I hope you had the best Thanksgiving with all
your closest fam and friends, and were able to pound as much food as I
did (:::: no regrets!!!!!
It was so fun to be able to have
two types of Thanksgivings this year, an American and a Latin! I can
tell you that I have never had rice and pork for Thanksgiving before
until now. But I got to try some new foods that I never had which is
always fun! It was so great to be able to be with families and get to
see their traditions. They made us feel just like part of the family, so
It made the first real family holiday away much better
Well
this week was great! The only bummer was that I got sick... Not sure
what it was, but it was a pesky virus that's for sure. It took my voice
as well so I had some interesting knocking experiences this week to say
the least. Hahaha, I thought I had a guys voice before (because of how
low it is), but man OH NO, I was cracking and squeaking at every door
and person I talked to. I sounded like a 14 year old going through
straight puberty. Poor every person that had to hear me, even I felt bad
for them, lol!
Well as I am sure you all have
heard, Fidel Castro (I think that's how you spell it) passed away, so
literally every Cuban down here (which is like 50 percent of Miami) has
just been rejoicing and over joyed. Thank heavens for these political
leaders in the world, because of them we are getting more investigators
and more people that want prayers hahaha. Besides the Cubans and the
prayers, it has been great to start showing and talking about the
Church's new #LIGHTTHEWORLD campaign. (: I am literally obsessed with
it. We have been asked that every person we talk to, we get them to get
out their phone or electronic device, and pull up the video and watch
it right there with them. I have already seen it like 20 times just in
the past 3 days, and I can tell I am never going to get tired of it. SO
GOOD. The Church's video game is STRONG. so powerful! People have watched
that two minute video, and are just in awe, bawling right there on
their front porch. It invites the spirit so quickly, and it is so
touching to me, how much it is touching to others. The spirit touches
all, and does so so rapidly. It is incredible to me.
I
cannot believe it is already like December! Time is flying! Every day
is the most exhausting but rewarding thing ever. I am so grateful to be
out here serving.
A quick weekly quote from Mikelle I want to end with lol. Sorry if you are all so done with these. jk not sorry. <3
"God
is making things happen for you, even when you don't see it, even when
you cant feel it, even if its not evident... God is working on your
prayers". -UNKOWN Don't ever forget that!! I have never been more
grateful to have this knowledge. Your biggest supporter and motivator is
just one prayer away. Don't become distant.
I
love you all so much its hard to even say it. HAVE THE BEST WEEK and
enjoy the snow haha. I am sure not missing it here in this 80 degree
December that I am having But I sure mis you all more than you know!
