The Floridian Adventure of a Lifetime: Week 25

"Pure love is an incomparable, potent power for good."- Richard G Scott

So the big news is...

DON'T SEND ME ANYTHING IN THE MAIL THIS WEEK BECAUSE IM GETTING TRANSFERRED!!!!

I'm going to East Jacksonville to an area called the Mandarin 2nd

Ward. My new companion will be Sister Gagnon, who is super sweet and

served in the ward next to my current one about 3 months ago so I knew

her! This will be her last transfer, so I will be "killing" her. :)

I'm so excited! I will miss Normandy but I really am excited to go out

there. It is a bit intimidating though because I'll be serving in the

ward with the Assistants to the President and the mission president is

in my ward! Scary!! But it will be fun.

This week was a very good week!

I attended my second funeral ever which was for the oldest member of

our ward, a 96 year old man who was absolutely adorable. But his

funeral was pretty good.

Sister Smith and I ran into my very first baptism, K on the street

when we were walking. He hasn't come to church in about 3 months and

so we talked with him for a little while and took a selfie. I cried

afterwards because he just looked so different. People need the

gospel!!!!!!!!!!

But we also met a man that day who was really nice to us and let us feed a banana flavored Popsicle to his pot bellied pig named Oliver. He was so cute!

Then later in the week we went to visit one of our really incredible investigators and her husband showed us his giant cage filled with passenger pigeons! It was awesome!

We thought it was pretty cool.

The elders had a baptism this week and the mission president and his wife came!!! I didn't know then that I would be serving in their ward but we got a nice pic :)
