Weekly Update 3.45
Hey there fellers/Lumberjacks
Well I hope all is well in the place they dubbed Utah.
Things are going well here in Florida! It's been a crazy week, filled
with a tropical storm, a zone meeting, an exchange to the boonies,
cows, and
a shooting in Orlando. For those of you who may be concerned I'm fine, we are about 45 minutes away from where the shooting
took place. I've driven past the place a couple of times so that's weird
to think about. The state of Florida seems to be holding up well. You
can feel a little uneasiness, but it's good. There is a ton of people
donating blood, so that's cool to see! Hopefully this will get people
asking those tuff questions about life that really only the Gospel
of Jesus Christ can answer. Please pray for those families involved
in the attack!
So to kick it off we will talk about the tropical storm that
came rolling through on Monday night, it was pretty wild. Ive
never seen clouds move that fast before. We got a text from President
Berry
informing us to be in early and to be careful. There was
minor flooding in my area, and a tornado about an hour away. The
wind howled and I loved every minute of it! It was cool to see how the
storm moved and acted. Really it didn't do to much to us here. Just some
heavy rain! We enjoyed our time though!
On Friday we had an amazing lesson with one of our
investigators Damaris. She's been studying with us for about 3 weeks now.
She's one of the most prepared people I've taught! This week as we
were teaching her she told us of a cool dream she had. Basically the dream
was straight from heaven and was an answer to her prayers about
which church she needed to join! She had already received an
answer to prayers in the form of a feeling and now this is added on top of
that! It was cool to see that Moroni's promise at the back of the Book
of Mormon is true. Anyone who has a sincere heart and really wants to
know, then acts on that and seeks by doing simple things such as
praying and
reading will get an answer. It's a good feeling to know that
God still cares enough to reach out to us and make himself known.
She's doing well and we look forward to continuing to teach her! Please
pray for her and her family, the Rodriguez family!
This week we had Zone Training Meeting, also known as ZTM.
What a good time! This meetings topic was all on involving the Lord in
his work and knowing how to better and more effectively find. The
meeting went well. It was a little sad knowing that it might be my last
one as a zone leader. I felt that it was a good one though! Transfers
as a week from Tuesday, so on Saturday we will be getting an email
holding our fate as the Eustis Elders. It's gone be weird cause this
will be my last full transfer before I head home! There is a
possibility that I might drop from being a Zone Leader. Not sure what I want to
happen! Honestly, I'd love to stay here but we'll see where the Lord
needs me!
The meeting was killer and it was also fun to have my two
good buddies Elder Johnson and Elder Thornock. Couple of Stallions.
We saw and milked a wood cow. It sits out from of the
Reisings home. I send pics of them from time to time. They are old folks that
help us out a ton!
I went on an exchange to a wonderful place called Lecanto.
This place is the farthest west area in the mission. It actually
boarders two other missions to the north a one to the south. Then on the
west side
it touches the gulf coast. It's out there and has some funny
people there. I was with a lovely missionary by the name of Elder
Carlos Hernandez. He's the man and we had a stellar time. We taught
some crazy people and I got to help them get their area to where
they want it to be! Hahaha We got to go on special permission from
president Berry, due to the bed bug issues our mission had been
having! But luckily we got to go and have fun over yonder! Haha
Well that was my week in a nutshell! We saw some good things
happen and I'm excited to see what this next week will bring for us
here in Eustis. Good things are happening. Please continue to pray
for us though! We need to find some more solid people to teach!
This church is so true! It has to be true! I've seen too many cool
miracles and felt the confirming witness of the spirit too many times! I
know that Joseph Smith was a prophet. Through him God established his
true church back to the earth! God still cares and he loves us very
much. He knows us by name and knows what we need most. Everything that
happens to us in life is calculated to bless and is for our benefit. I
hope you all
have an amazing week and hopefully I'll hear from some of
you here real soon! Where is Kelly? Anyone know?
Love,
Elder Crismon
