Hey family!
Oh how I love you and thought of you often throughout this special
weekend of celebration. It was weird- sis wills said I was in the MTC
a year ago to the day, and all I could think of was how I was sitting
in the jewbaru a year ago driving to sundance with the good ole DaddyO
in tears thinking of how much I would miss just being in his presence.
(Xan and Cec - know what I mean?) Dad you have made such a lasting
impression and influence in my life, and the lives of all those with
whom you come in contact with. Seriously. Some of my most cherished
memories are of late night canyon drives with you daddy. The windows
rolled down to keep you awake with the sound of the canyon flooding
our ears. In retrospect, it feels as if time stopped and we just
cruised on. It's moments like those that I loved, not because of words
that were said, or things that were done, but because of the time that
was spent. I love you dad! Hope you had a happy Father's Day.
Other news. Sis wills and I have built quite a relationship with some
of the members, especially the Budge's. Brother and sister budge are
the best! They love to do missionary work! They served their missions
in France. I think I mentioned that.
Any who. Bro Pascal Budge has
been everywhere for work- including Haiti! This week they invited our
gator Ursula and her member husband to come and have a lesson in their
home. Oh my gosh, miracles happened. Last we met with U and hubby they
had committed to pray for a date for baptism in which they had
previously been a little timid about setting. Well after not being
able to meet for a week because of scheduling conflicts we were real
excited to hear, in person, how things regarding praying for a date
were going. They said they had a date and it held special significance
in their lives and wanted to keep it a secret until things started to
get into place a little more. Oh my gosh! So cool. Then we taught
alongside the budges about the ten commandments and keeping the
sabbath day holy. I say alongside because we debriefed the budges and
they taught for the most part while we simply testified. It was
amazing. The spirit was so strong! I am so grateful for the wonderful
opportunity that it is to share my testimony with those around me.
Truly faith building. If you haven't done it in a while, I would
invite you to share your testimony, if not in sacrament meeting, share
it with someone who you care about. Not only will you be blessed but
the hearts of those with whom you are speaking will soften and the
spirit will testify to that person of the things They need to hear.
#spiritualthrowup #sorrynotsorry ANYWAY. So a lot of other miracles
happened obvi but that was the big kahuna. #callmegidg but seriously
call me gidg cause we are going to RON JONS TODAY! AHHH! Basically. I
am so excited. It's ridiculous! If you want a shirt or shoes or a
keychain or a sticker speak now or forever hold your peace. (Not piece
but peace. Like calm.)
Oh yesterday sis wills and I were looking at the fact that we didn't
have a dinner and sis budge told us we could come over. HOW COULD WE
SAY NO?! We love them. So we went over for dinner. Let me try to give
you a visual. They are like the Heaps. Bro budge is goofy but loving
and just an awesome guy who has had so many spiritual and rad
opportunities in his life. And sis budge is more reserved but still
great once you get her talking. They remind me so much of the heaps
and of dad it's crazy! So bro budge was telling us all about Haiti.
Dad you've gotta send me a list of all the cities you served in, he
worked in all of them while on a U.N. Mission. He wants to talk about
it.
Uhm, what else. Oh we love homeless people but that's classic down
here in Florida. Beach bums EVERYWHERE. they all say they live in
Sandominiums(like condominium but not because they just sleep on the
beach) haha. Anyway. Well. That's all I've got for you today.
Thanks for the package! It was really needed and is much appreciated.
Cec I am mailing a letter for you today. Xan and Thomas, how is NC?
Bro how is your swim tan? Mum are you still the dancing queen of the
grove?#diva4lyfe.
Oh I want to ask a favor of you - instead of praying for my
investigators, PRAY FOR YOUR OWN MISSIONARY OPPORTUNITIES. The Lord
knows His children who are ready and will put them in your path if you
will act. Let Him trust you. Let me know of miracles you see. Because
miracles happen when we believe.
Wellp. I love you. I love the work. And most importantly, I love The
Lord. I'm grateful for Him and all He has done for me.
xoxo
