Florida Orlando Temple

 Lots of developments this week! First off, we had interviews with President Ashcraft which were great as always! Then, we have a friend who recently got baptized that we are teaching about the temple. We decided to take him on a temple grounds tour but for the past month we haven't been able to make it happen because we needed to find a member to drive us. After sacrament last week a member just went right up and said he could drive and also invited the non member brother along! Between then and Wednesday (the day of the tour), we decided to invite more people so we got another recent convert to come along as well as the two other elders in Deltona. We had quite the procession going to the temple and it was beautiful! I really miss having the opportunity to go inside. The whole experience has been a great testimony builder of member missionary work. Members really can do what we can't.

Otherwise, we had some interesting experiences talking to people in a park where the first person was interested but visiting from another state, the second person was an inactive member of MANY years, and and third one was a little tipsy but more than happy to give us their number (as they always are)! I have also come to find out that Marijuana is very liberally used here in Deltona, frequently we will smell it pungent just driving down the road. Luckily, no one we are teaching has had a big problem with it yet!!

Love you all!
