I can't remember what happened this week, mostly.

OH! Sister Rammell's family friends, the Walker family (with about 20 kids) will be shown in a documentary that will air between sessions of general conference this weekend.

     I'M SO EXCITED FOR GENERAL CONFERENCE OH MY GOODNESS!!! I love conference!

    Our ward had a Noche de la Hispanidad. SO COOL! So much amazing food and dances and cultural stuff and wonderful people! <3

    I hit my halfway mark on the 23rd. YIKES!!!! Freaking out over here!

Women's conference was AMAZING! I especially loved listening to Sister McConkie and President Uchtdorf.

   Sister Rammell and I are trying to learn a little bit of Portugese and Haitian Creole... it's not really working lol.

    And we got a new bishopric in our ward! They're amazing people! :) I'm so excited to work with them!

       PEACE AND BLESSINGS!

Short blog post! Had tons of people to email today, I just love talking to people and keeping in touch! :) 

A little bit of a slow week. Lots of tracting, and not many people to touch. But that is OKAY. We work as hard as we can, we strive to have the Spirit with us, and the Lord does the rest.

    We had Zone Training this week, which was awesome! Trainings and conferences are the best. I learn so much and enjoy every moment of it! It is also great to see other misisonaries. Missions are just the best thing ever, okay!!! :D

     The 17th marked 9 months since my first day in the MTC. My first day as a missionary. And the 23rd (two days from now) is my halfway mark. I have no idea how this is happening! Scary, it is going by too fast!

     Also tons of biking! Bikes are AMAZING for doing missionary work!

Lots of good member meals, Stake conference, and earlier today, we went to the Naples Zoo! SO FUN! Anyway, that is all for now! Love y'all! Bye!

Not much to blog about this week, so it'll be short!

We've been working really well with the members so far this transfer, so that is super good!

We found an AWESOME family to teach, and they even came to church. They LOVED it! :) We met a LA member that we hadn't met before; she is coming to church this Sunday and her friend is interested in the gospel! We gave a Book of Mormon to another member's friend, and she PROMISED to read 3 Nephi 11. We're excited to follow-up with her about that!

    Our new DL is Elder Mota, and he gives AWESOME trainings! Revelation is so real! We're learning tons!

   We had some awesome dinner appointments and member moments. Good laughs. And we're biking again! YAY!!!!

    Some people that we prayed with gave us EIGHT huge avocados from the tree in their yard! YUMMY! And a 7 year old boy that had seen us before came up and gave us marshmallows while we were knocking! SO SWEET!

     Anyway, I gotta go now! LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!     La iglesia es verdadera y el Evangelio verdadero de Jesucristo ha sido restaurado!

24 Agosto & 1 Septiembre

I have combined 2 weeks worth of blog posts yet again because email time is SO SHORT. :)
     I started off my mass email from last week by saying this: Congratulations to Sister Bond (a teacher from the MTC). She's getting married tomorrow! :)  <<Now it has been a week lol

SHORT BLOG POST!

Tons of lightning storms! This has GOT to be a Gulf of Mexico thing, because the storms were never this constant or crazy in Miami Lakes or Sebastian! Heck, lighting almost struck our apartment last P-day! And for these last couple of nights, there have been these BEAUTIFUL, QUIET lightning storms happening way far away in the clouds! It looks like a delayed strobe light, and sometimes you can see the rays streaking across the sky. Very gorgeous especially at sunset! :)

   We met a nice Cuban couple and prayed with them. They had one of those little saucer, vacuum robots. How cool is that?!

  We also had ZONE CONFERENCE! That was so fun and we learned so much! Then we had a wonderful full-day exchange with the STLs.

  The Elders in our ward have had a couple of baptisms these last couple of weeks, so we're super excited about that!

   Oh, and we also found English chocolate biscuits and Birds Custard in the "foreign food" section at Publix, so that was fun for me! It felt like food from my childhood! :)

  I've been having some exciting dreams. All of them either have to do with missionaries & missionary work, or zombies. Sometimes both. It's pretty entertaining, actually! One night I had a dream that Elder Jeffrey R. Holland came out with us for an MPL, and he was just the coolest, most humble man! Also super sweet. We took a selfie with him in the dream, haha!

  As for this week, we've been having TONS of lightning storms and heavy rain (even though Tropical Storm Erica missed us, the weather has still been crazy). Heck, Sister Pankratz and I almost got struck by lightning when we were on splits!

   We're still on the watch for hurricanes, though. Hurricane season is still in full swing and anything could happen.

   Oh, also our car battery died one night and a nice Haitian man gave us a jump start. :) He was a cool guy!

    That is all I have to say for now. Talk to you next week!
