Life in Temple Terrace :)

Brandon zone!

Love this!

We did service at a place where they have stuff for kids who have to go into foster care.

The sisters! Sisters House, Neibaur, Whitlock, Graham, me and Suman. They are amazing. :)

Love you all! Keep the faith! The spirit is real!

Hi everyone! :)

Life here in the Temple Terrace part of Tampa is great! I have the
most amazing companion, she is the best. :) Our apartment has been
having some issues so we've spent the last week with the sisters
serving in the YSA (young single adult) Ward. They have been so kind
and it has been so fun to get to know them better! They each are such
great examples!

This week we've spent time serving online (we're basically the other
side of Mormon.org) as well as getting to know other ward members and
teaching lessons in our area. Online we call people who have ordered
the Bible or Book of Mormon, we chat with people who have questions
(moments and nonmembers), sometimes we teach lessons online, etc. This
week we got to speak with missionaries in Ghana and tell them about a
referral headed their way. Hermana Whitlock got to speak with some
members in Peru who were referring a friend in Chile. Chilean
addresses are sure hard to find, but it's been an adventure!

We also were trying to visit a new member this week, but it turns out
the address we had for her hadn't been changed to her new address, so
instead we met her husband's grandma! She is awesome! She's had so
many experiences with the church in the past and was so excited to
read the Book of Mormon. We are going to see her tomorrow, we will
keep you updated. :)

We also had a zone Training Meeting on Wednesday. It was all about
baptism and it was such a good meeting! Moroni 6 is such a great
chapter. We did a short training on the importance of keeping records
and remembering those who have made that sacred covenant with God.
Once they're baptized we can't forget them! We are all brothers and
sisters and we've got to help each other remember how to get back to
our Heavenly Father. :)

Here are a few pictures of the week. :)

Heading back from zone Training Meeting :) My companion is awesome!
