Weekly Update!!
#TurnUp
We had a
good week here in the Lake Mary Zone!! Like a really good week. We hit every single one
of our targets. Which is just nuts! Wahooooooooooo!! We are just
instilling faith and hope here in the Lake Mary Zone. God is blessing
us! It's pretty awesome! I'm very grateful for that because I really
don't feel that it is anything that we are doing! It's so so cool.
So thank you for all the prayers for me and my zone! They are truly
working!! Wahoooo! Other then that I had a busy week with three
exchanges, tons and tons of lessons, and cool miracles! I'll just hope right
into it!! Wahooooo!
So we had
three exchanges this week which honestly is just draining. I love it though.
They say sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven! I truly
believe that is true! I've seen it as we go on exchanges the zone seems
to be doing better. I went on an exchange with Elder Bone, Elder
Lindsay, and Elder Walker. Each one was lots of fun. The first two I
was in my own area. Which is fun cause you just go ham, and show others
how we find success. Elder Bone is a good guy and so is Elder
Lindsay! I've gone on exchanges with Elder Lindsay before as well! Then on
Saturday I went on an exchange with Elder Walker! We had so much fun
in his area. They had been struggling and we just went off. Taught
7 lessons and got that area going again! So that feels good!
Elder Walker, Elder Lindsay, and myself have been out on our
missions the longest in our zone. Which is so weird to think about. I have
always been the young gun, but now I'm like the old hag. Hahaha! It's kind of a
fun change of events. Now people just seem to respect what I
say a little more, so that means I've gotta make sure my advice is
sound!
So cool
miracles that happened this week. The first one I'll mention is that we found an awesome woman to teach. So we were going LARCing which is just when we go and
try to find some Less Actives to teach. Which can be kinda crazy
sometimes! Hahaha! So we were going to find this one, we knocked on the
door and this lady Melanie answered. She was awesome and we taught
her on the door step. Then later on we came back. We taught her the
restoration and it was an amazing lesson. We all felt the spirit, and
she cried a couple of times. Hahaha! That always feels good. But we then
committed her to be baptized. She accepted. We were so pumped! The
feeling of
the spirit in a killer lesson like that is priceless! It
makes all the planning, finding, knocking, and hard twerk worth it! Life
is Gucci Mayne for these two missionaries right now! Please pray that
as we
continue working with her and others that we will continue
to help them get baptized, and find other people! Then later on that
same night we found someone else. His name was Joseph. We knock
on his
door, he lets us in and the first thing he says are
"These Are My Brothers In Christ!" We were like uhhhhhhh. Okay, yeah
we're your brothers! He requested a Book of Mormon and we gave it to
him. #Bang It was pretty dope, he told us to come back later this week,
so we are. I'll let you know what happens there!
Alright funny
story of the week. So on Sunday Elder Thornock and I were out LARCing again, and
we found ourselves in an apartment complex! As we were getting a Book
of Mormon
out of the back of our car suddenly we heard a voice from a
window two stories up across the parking lot. It was this little kid.
He was like "What's up?" Elder Thornock and I looked at each
other and yelled in response "Nothing, what's up with you?" He
responded quickly with a "Nothing!" I then responded with "Can We give
you a book?" Not knowing if he was old or not. He was just quiet. Then suddenly the
door flung open and he was like "What Did You say?" We saw
that this little kid
was like ten so we responded with "Nothing!" LOL! It was probably one of the weirdest things that has happened to me on my
mission. Later on Elder Thornock was like "You know your bored when you
start yelling at random people outside your window." LOL! It's true, it
was a good time.
Over all it
was a pretty good week for the Swool Squad here in the Longwood area. After all was
said and done we taught a ton of people, and got some people to
church. Sadly that super awesome guy that Elder Johnson and I taught moved
to West Palm Beach due to a job offer he received! We were both
pretty bummed. But that's okay, God just wants us to find other solid
people to teach. We are hopeful, and faithful that we will find those
people. Please pray that we do! God is at the helm of this great
work. I just know it, because somehow this work rolls forward when an
imperfect instrument like me is involved. I mean I'm crazy and stuff.
But we still see miracles! I'm so grateful for the chance I've had
to serve him here in Florida. The old orange state! My zone is
killing it as well. Pound for pound we are doing the best in the mission.
It's pretty dope, and again it's not me, it's God! I'm just a
little fellar from Utah! God lives, and he sent his son Jesus Christ here
to the
earth! He restored his gospel in these days through his
prophet Joseph Smith. I know it, and I know that God knows it! This work is
true, and the book we hand out is blue. Generally, sometimes is like
different colors depending upon the style. Either way it's true! I
hope you all have an amazing week! I'll keep you all in my prayers! OKAY
LOVE YOU SEE YOU LATER BYE!!!!!!
Love, Elder Crismon
