Jorge

Ayyo  what's goin on everyone!?!?! I am so sorry for my super dumb titles to my emails, I try so hard to think of what to put but am literally the worst at it so i just put someone's name I'm talking about lol.

WE OUT HERE BABY!!!! We have had some super good lessons this past week, we have got in contact with Jorge and taught him a couple lessons. The first lesson went great!!! We had a million questions about like our testimonies, what makes our Church different, and what we think of certain topics. He ended up bringing up the after life after a long time of talking and my comp and I said that we could come back the next day and teach him about the plan of salvation, and he was completely down!! We ended up meeting with him the next day and we basically just taught out of the plan of salvation pamphlet that we have and he literally just read the entire thing and completely loved it. He agreed and thought a lot of it was interesting and made sense. He asked some good questions and overall was completely fire. We ended up closing with a  prayer and just started talking, and he talked about how much he loves white people food and said that he loves Waffle House lol. And my comp and I have never been there, and ended up  telling him and he didn't believe us. So he invited us to Waffle House with him on Monday (today), so that was hype. We also invited him to church and he said he was completely down to come, he mentioned an issue he had with one of the members and a little situation that occurred, because he has attended one time in the past. But he still said he was completely down to go. Then Sunday comes and he ghosts us...... YAYYYYY!!!!!!! So he didn't go to church which was a big ol L. But then Sunday night he responded confirming for Waffle House and we were both confused. But today, in the morning we met up with him and went to Waffle House and just talked and had a good time. He is a super good guy and has a great heart. I'm excited to see where this takes us.

Wow Elder Harbertson that was a dang long paragraph right there, you gotta chill out. My bad guys. Today was super great for Pday, we played a ton of pickle ball after Waffle House, of which we invited Jorge to come and he said he would be totally down, we both left to go play and he ended up ghosting us again for some reason.... I know, this man's a mystery, and ended up saying he was at Home Depot like an hour and a half later so who knows what happens there lol. Then we went fishing later that day with a member and there was a million fish. We went out to this dock and would cast right under the dock with live shrimp and get a fish almost every time, it was insane. I caught a puffer fish with a couple other fish but the puffer fish was the coolest to see it puff up.  

Oh we also had transfers that I completely forgot to mention. But me and Elder Medina are staying together in Fort Pierce, and I'm killing elder Medina off (he's ending his mission this transfer), which means I'm going to have to fight the homesick demons when he starts packing everything up for the last time.  

We out here still working and hopefully putting Jorge on date up here pretty soon, but we have to see. 

Elizabeth and her entire family have been completely busy and sick this last week and weren't available to meet up at all which is sad. Hopefully this week goes better and we can pick up where we left off. 

Just wanted to share with you the classic but banger scripture James 1:5...

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him

It's classic, but it is so true. The Lord is always there and will answer our prayers, all we need to do is ask in faith and take action. 

I love you all, have a great week!!

Davidddd

I have some sad news everyone, David has moved to Atlanta. It's some tragic news to hear but it's okay, we are goin to send off all his info to the missionaries over there to hopefully help him progress and help him out. We had a lesson with him and he brought up some concerns he had which were good and we were planning on helping him out and talking him through it and to kind of, make sense of it all. He said there were a couple things he believes that he didn't think would match up or align with the churches but they didn't seem too bad. I'm overall really excited to see what happens with him, because i think we are going to be able to follow his dot and see what's going on with him whenever we want so that's hype.

Church Attendance :)

We had an amazing Sunday, the other week. Both Elizabeth and her entire family, along with David and his friend ended up showing up to church which was amazing!! Nothing could have made me happier and we were having the biggest struggle getting the translators to connect for some reason when we have never had a problem with it in the past but it worked out fine. They said they loved it and had a great experience and I could not wipe the smile off my face for all of church. Seeing people make great choices and watching them grow in the gospel is a different kind of joy you can't feel anywhere else.

Ward Party:

We had a ward celebrating Cinco de Mayo and it was super fun. There was super good food and a youth action for deserts!! The entire ward kept buying stuff and gifting it to us and it was absolutely insane. They were giving us money and spending so much which was helping out the youth so that's awesome. We were given $20 from a member at one point, and all the missionaries decided to go for the Cake Pops that they were selling. So when the actioner started at $5 all the missionaries jumped up and started shouting for it, then he ended up just going SOLD to the missionaries. And us missionaries could not let that happen, so we ended up betting against ourselves until $20 and it was just super funny. Ended up with 3 cakes, cake pops, and caramel popcorn so i don't even know what happened lol. But we gifted most of it to the members and the investigator that came because we felt super bad.

Stake Conference:

We also had Stake Conference and David ended up coming and bringing 2 friends which was amazing!!! we got to know the friends and they ended up really liking the stake conference so that was a great experience for them. We are trying to get in contact with one of his friends because we have his number but the other one we don't have his number yet and are trying to work on it. 

So sorry for not writing last week, I hope you all are doing well!!!
