Life in Florida

Hi all!

Tiffany update! Shes's doing well! We taught the Plan of Salvation last week at the home of a member family. It was good! She knows this is where she's supposed to and wants to learn all she can, but we're trying not to overload her with all the information at once. She's been reading The Book of Mormon and she came to the YSA branch on Sunday! Last Sunday she said she didn't own a skirt so we brought her one to borrow and this past week she went out and bought a cute dress! The wife of the branch president just loves Tiffany and has been there to help answer a lot of questions. It's awesome when the members reach out and take people under their wing, because as missionaries we're only here for a relatively short time and if they have relationships with members it's awesome! 

I'm excited to get to work with the YSA branch more!  Young Single Adults has been a big part of my life for the last 8+ years and I have loved it! There's always so much going on and so many ways to help each other. I know for me it's been a critical time of learning the gospel and having like minded people around me to uplift and support each other. I'm looking forward to helping in any way we can!

This is a picture from Zone Training Meeting this past week. We've been talking a lot about ways to find new people and how to be more consecrated. 


We had some extra guests on Tuesday night because the Hermanas car broke down and they stayed with us while it got fixed! It was great to get to know them better and to work down in our area together!


Sister Kirton and I will be moving apartments this next week. It'll just be within the same complex, but we went over today to clean because the elders used to live here. It smells weird and the water is very interesting...but it definitely could be worse. Haha. 

If you haven't had a chance to read or listen to the talk from October 2016 General Conference by Elder Christofferson called "Abide in My Love" than I highly recommend it this week! 


I hope you all have a great week! Remember than Heavenly Father loves you! He hears your prayers! The gospel is true! 

Love you,

Sister Gessel

P.S. Also, Chapter 3 of the Teachings of President Hinckley manual is fantastic! :)
