This week was awesome :) It was full of so many great adventures :)
I am not sure if I shared my experience talking with a drunk man at 9
at night...though for anyone who was wondering what it is like, don't do
it. HAHA We are scared to go over to our recent
converts house because her brother wants to fight me every time I go
over. Moral of the story, the Word of Wisdom was created so that Elder
Stonely doesn't get beat up by people under the influence. HAHA
I had a great experience this week :) We had a lesson with one of
our investigators named Alex. From the information that I had gathered
about this man, he seemed to not really care what the missionaries
really said. Though we had picked him up again.
We had a scheduled visit with him, we wanted to bring members out with
us but we couldn't find anyone. We texted Brother Pizzaro who gladly
accepted last minute and came with his wife. His wife doesn't speak Spanish and Alex doesn't speak English, but we took
her along anyway. We taught the restoration, then felt that we should
give the member and his wife some time to bear their testimonies. They
both did and at the end of the wife's testimony we asked Alex what he
thought and he told us, "I just have to do what
she said and read and pray about it. Then I will know!" (Elder Moore and
I felt like we were looking around the room for a secret camera or
something like this lesson was planned or something... HAHA) But the spirit was strong. Even though there was a language
barrier, or as we thought, the members were able to show great love and
care for him and they invited the spirit. Thus, don't be afraid to talk
to people! The spirit will do the teaching :)
Also cool story from this week, many of you know we were teaching a
lady named "Ana" when I was in Cairo, GA. Welp, to my surprise, on Sunday (during
sacrament meeting), she, her husband, and her grandaughter walked in the
door!!!! They drove 50 minutes to come down here
to the Spanish branch and participate. And probably to see me. HAHA It
made my Sunday pretty great :) She still has her baptismal date set so
we will see what happens :)
Overall, this week has been great :) and I can pretty much tell you
that I have still yet to step foot on the same street here in
Tallahassee; that's how huge it is... HAHA JK. But really its huge. I
think it would only be fair to say,
From the smallest heart here in the city!

MUCH LOVE AND GOOD TIDINGS FROM THE FTM!
