Hey fam/friends! Sorry this one is gonna be a short one. I have a lot of cool pictures!... but forgot my camera chord.
So this week I gave my first MLC, basically a training for the missionary leadership. It was an intimidating experience, but was definitely a lot of fun as well. It's easy to train a room full of missionaries who are all boss and know how have success. Unfortunately, Zone Conference is in a week, so preparation for the next training already starts.
In our area, we have an awesome friend named Tina. She's from the Bahamas, and she's learning a lot and progressing towards baptism on the 19th. We always start off our lessons talking about the upcoming College Football season or basketball, and she's really fun to teach. Other then that, we find a lot, teach a lot, and drop (stop teaching people) a lot. Life in "Deepside" Fort Lauderdale is full of, like I said last week, great desires but weak commitments.
A recent convert in the Branch, Elvira, got fired because she refused to work Sundays. Since she's been baptized, she's gotten cancer, hospitalized with pneumonia, and now lost her job. But she's got such high faith and she doesn't even care! she's a true example of faith and sacrifice. We ALL can learn a lot from Elvira--remember she's a single mom trying to save up enough money to move out of Ft. Laud into a better neighbor and pays for better schools for her kids.
Sorry for the short one! Everything is going great and I love serving the Lord!
