About how our lessons went, too...
Down here in Key West, things are going better than I could have ever imagined! Elder Petersen and I are loving it. Honestly the people are sooo friendly, and everyone is super interesting. Some people have never left the Keys their whole lives, and you can tell hahaha, but as a majority, the peole are awesome.
We've seen a ton of great miracles this week! First, if you remember Sunny, we were able to make contact with her. She's the lady that almost got baptized when we came down to visit. We're going to see her tomorrow night. She's been out of town all weekend for her birthday, I was super happy to see her again and we're excited to help her and her family out.
Big miracle # 2. Tristen! He's from the great Potato State of Idaho! He grew up surrounded by members his whole life, almost was baptized awhile ago back in Preston, but never went through with it. Now he's stationed down here in the Navy and he's been coming to church for a few months. He's seriously going to become one of my best friends.. he's a great kid! Tonight we're going out to eat, and then we're gonna teach him and help him overcome some fears he has about getting baptized. We aren't exactly sure what they are, but that's the purpose of tonights visit.
Then we got Alex, straight from Venezuela! Elder Petersen doesn't speak Spanish, so i've been teaching him one on one. It's been super weird, I keep saying "we" and waiting for my companion to teach as well. But he's one of the most elect people I've ever met! I love Venezuelans. He loves the Gospel so much already, so all the new things were teaching him are making perfect sense to him and he's super excited to keep learning more. He's already accepted a date for baptism! He wants to be baptized before he heads back to Venezuela.
The members down here are great. We're really trying to work closely with them, and they don't mke it too hard! I already love them a lot, and they're trying really hard to give us tons of people to teach! They're great examples of being disciples of Christ.
We're off to have some Key West good times! We'll try and stay out of the water...
