{8.29.16} #ReceiveTheHabanero

Before:

 This week has all been a blur. I honestly can't remember it very well, a lot of stuff happened! So I'll just throw down the things that I do remember.

After...

-Tuesday we had Northern Zone Conferences. We made a animation in the powerpoint about finding those that will receive the message of the restoration. I will try to attach it.

Tuesday night we drove across the state to the West coast for the central zone conferences. We slept over at the Naples Zone Leaders. Elder Jones (from Mexico) had some Habanero Peppers that we all tried. A couple of us got wrecked! My tolerance for spicy has definitely gone up a lot

Pre-Naples RoadTrip

-Wednesday we gave another zone conference, and drove back across the state.

-Thursday we gave the southern zone conference annnnd then started on MLC for this week. It feels like we are giving a training every week this transfer

-Friday Elder Adams and I saw some cool miracles on exchange. We went to follow up with a potential and found someone else setting on their door step. Her name was Tabesha, and she was super lost and sorta having a break down. The area we work can be really sad sometimes because of the circumstances people are in. There's a lot of odds stacked against them to make it out of the neighborhood. But she accepted the prayer and instantly felt way better. She committed herself to take the bus all the way to the chapel, and even remembered she's been before when she was younger.

-Saturday we taught the Reyes family. They're doing so well! They're really struggling with finances right now, because they just barely got jobs and lost the car and the school won't send a bus for their kids because they live "too close" to the school (2 miles). So they've been getting a cab every day. Ed has been walking everywhere for job interviews (3 hours in the storms you've been seeing on the news.) He already has a job but he is so driven to better himself and his family that he will sacrifice anything and everything.

-Sunday we got wrecked by the rain! but it was a good Sunday in the branch. A lot of people are stepping up in our little congregation and it's exciting to see the growth!

Today we had to do an emergency transfer, so we woke up at 5:30 am, drove to downtown miami, picked up an elder, drove him all the way up past fort laud, out to alligator alley, then up to Belle Glade (by lake okeechobee) and then we drove all the way back here to start play hahaha. It's always exciting! Even if it is tiring. I'm honestly so tired all the time now that one of the days I'll probably just shut down.

I can't really think of anything else. I had a lot of stuff in my mind earlier, sorry for the scatter brained email!
