Its been another wonderfull week....in Florida!!! This week I was transfered from Georgia to Flemming Islands, Florida! It is a really nice place here, very beautiful. Yet, there are still people to teach the gospel. The spirit will testify to anyone with a willing heart that there is peace when we live the gospel of Jesus Christ. My new companion is Sister Ganir, she is a hard worker and knows the area well. We had a ward activity, the young women held an auction to raise money for girls camp. They sold desserts such as oreo pie, oreo truffles, heath cake, reeeses cake, orange rolls, and other things. They also had a dinner before, and for the first time I ate jalpeno corn bread! There was also a lot of fried chicken 😂😂😂
I have met a lot of the members already, but still have to remember who they are. In my district here there are another set of sisters, (when in my district in Georgia, it was only my companion and I) There are also two sets of Elders. We found a lot of new investigators this week, including a family who has investigated before. They said they are open to anything right now. They have not yet prayed about and found a testimony of the Book of Mormon, which is really important for them to further progress in this gospel. We hope we can help them with that as we read it with them and teach them how to pray.
Last night we visited a less active member of the ward. She is a sweet, old french lady. She is married to her 5th husband and is very poor. She has her own paintings all over her walls and other art as well. She shared some stories about her past husbands and her weight loss experience. She walked us out to our car, because my companion was worried about another person who was in the area seeing us.
One of the youth members has a friend named Savannah, who wants to be baptized! She goes to seminary and has gone to several church activites in the past. We hope her parents approve so we can help her get to baptism as soon as possible!
1 Nephi 17:36 "Behold the Lord created the earth that it should be inhabited; and he hath created his children that they should possess it."
Love, Sister Jill Prue
