Well what a week.
It's been a stellar one here in the old Leesburg Zone/Eustis
Area. We saw a cool miracle or two and we are pretty happy with
everything this week. It was transfers and we both stayed and we are super
pumped about that. We have another transfer here to bring about
some good in Eustis! I'll hop right into it.
First, I'll share a cool miracle that happened. A couple of
weeks ago we got a referral from our ward council. They told us to go
visit a recent convert lady who moved in with her non-Member sister!
#GoldMine hahaha Well as it turns out the sister is very ill and on
her death bed. She's old too. LOL, but the convert is awesome. She's
from Idaho, and is originally from Florida as well. She's African
American and one of my favorite people now. We felt prompted to go visit her
on Friday evening. So we followed and had a cool experience. She's
been really struggling and her sister had not been treating her the
right way. She was getting down and distraught. We were an answer to her
prayers. She told us that she strengthened her faith. She had a couple
other issues, the biggest being she had high blood pressure. Her
medication that she takes for it ran out that morning. She had no way
to get it. She couldn't leave her sister. With her head throbbing we
laid our hands on her and gave her a blessing. Right afterwords her
ailments subsided and she felt good. Two days later we received a
call from her. She then proceeded to tell us of how the next morning
her Niece came and took her to the Walgreens to get her prescription renewed. As part of it they made it bigger! She was so pumped and I was
in awe at the goodness of God! He truly does love us!
Yano never in my life have I been so tired. Literally I am
exhausted physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It's been quite
the roller coaster to be serving here in Florida. Elder Dickson and I
find our
selves staying up late at night discussing the work we are
doing. We just love it. I just love it! Everything we do is worth it!
That doesn't mean it's easy- it's the hardest thing I've ever done
actually! Haha But that's the thing, that's how life is! Anything
that's good or great requires a sacrifice. This week we had to find out how
we could best help out our zone. We are doing well, but struggling in
some areas. We have great potential and we are confident we can
reach it! So we think we've found the solution and we are excited to
put it to work here in the coming weeks. Wahooooooo
Funny story time. So while we were conversing with our good
friend mentioned in the story above, she said something hilarious!
I guess her sister doesn't like it when we come over cause we
distract her from helping her sister. Hahaha So she try's to stop it, to
really no effect. But on the phone our friend was complaining as
people do! When she started to scream out "I'll just tell her to Get
Behind Me Satan!!!" I was dying, and so was Elder Dickson! Which
is not good because I was driving, but we made it back alive. Hahaha
Cool miracle #2 and we'll be done with today's email. So
Monday night we had a couple of appointments. Two with new people we are
gonna start teaching. The first was with a man named Chino. He's
half Puerto Rican and half Chinese. Which is funny cause his name means
Chinese.
Hahaha He's dope. We had a killer lesson with him. One of
the first things he's said was, I believe that God has to talk to man
through revelation. And we get it by praying. #HolyCow. We had a
sick lesson
with him and we are looking forward to teaching him more.
Then afterwords we saw a part member family. We taught a young lady
named Bay. She's dope too! We had a sick lesson and invited her to be
baptized! Both her and Chino accepted. The craziest part about all of
this is that it was on a Monday night! Which usually are a little
slower! Hahaha dopest P-Day yet. So we have some good things coming
this week!
So we are really happy with all the good things that
happened this week! I had a cool experience this week! I got to have an
interview with President Berry before he leaves this week! I needed a
new temple recommend and so we got to chat. It was so cool. He told me
of my strengths and weaknesses, and gave me great life advice. I
love him a lot and will miss him! Although he's from Draper and I'm
sure I will see him again soon! That was my week in a nut shell!
Hopefully I hear from some of you here real soon! Wahooo! You're never to
busy to email right? LOL! Loves!
Love, Elder Crismon!
