Apparently we have a cold front moving in soon, which back home certainly wasn't fun news. Here in Rockledge though, it pretty much means I can finally get some solid use out of all the long sleeve shirts I bought for England! Speaking of weather, I finally got to see some legit "Florida rain" and it is pretty gnarly, it comes in massive sheets and builds up so fast that I finally understand why the entire state has an excellent drainage system on literally every road!
When it comes to the work itself, I have some great news! But I am first going to tell you about zone conference so I can build some suspense I guess. For those who may be unaware, zone conference is a massive gathering of every missionary in the zone (we still follow COVID precautions though) where we receive training from the AP's and President Ashcraft and his wife. It goes on for several hours so I will just give a highlight. The AP's gave a training where they took a tape measure and extended it to 100 inches where each inch represented a year in a person's lifespan. The had someone go and pinch the 18 and 20 inch marks to show just how short our missions are in the grand scheme of things, it was really cool!
Anyway, the really cool thing that happened was the sisters over in Port Saint John called about a week ago saying they may have a person who we can teach that they found but that lives in our area. A couple days later we have an appointment to meet with this guy and in the first ten minutes he is just like, "What do I have to do to get baptized?" Apparently he ghosted the sisters for a couple weeks to pray and ponder and he received a testimony that it is what he has to do! We put him on date for March 6th and we will be teaching him again soon! So even if we didn't find him ourselves, we have been trying very hard and the Zone Leaders said that the Lord sees our efforts and blesses us!
I love talking with you guys!
