Daytona Has My Heart: Week 32

Daytona Beach
This week was crazy! It went by so fast.
We had ZTM (Zone Training Meeting) this week. Talked all about Facebook.
After Zone Training Meeting

Monday night and Tuesday night we got bashed... ha-ha. I don't know why; it just makes me laugh, it probably shouldn't. Monday night it was this member’s non-member husband. We showed him a video and it turned into a straight hour of him trying to explain how religion doesn't make sense or something like that. Folks, he literally got up and used a whiteboard to demonstrate! Ha-ha and the next night it was this guy from Jamaica. We had a return appointment with him. I won't even explain because honestly I don't know how. I don't understand any of the points people try to make when they bash us so I usually just let myself forget most of the conversation. I think it's better that way. 

One other funny story, so we're trying to figure out all these members we have on our list right? So we go by this one house, pull up, and there are just tons of cars parked in front. I'm like okay cool this might be a little awkward they are having a party or something. We walk past the front window and I see everyone is sitting in chairs and immediately in my head I think "ohh no it's a bible study" but I press on… right? Knock on the door. We just hear everyone yelling inside "OH ITS THE JDUBS!" (Jehovah Witnesses) and someone very excitingly opens the door. There's just all these men staring at me. Everyone was so intrigued, Bible in hand, you know getting ready to bash. And then a little disappointed to see it's just two young Mormon girls. Anyway, long story short apparently this man is not a member and we have the records wrong, but he basically just kept trying to get us to come to his church and have coffee and we were like, nah. It was hilariously uncomfortable. 

SHA! My girl. She's the one we met on the steps in front of her apartment. She's progressing so well, she's so excited to read the Book of Mormon and she remembers everything we teach. She has 4 boys under the age of 5 and man, are they cute. 

Also we got a referral from the other sisters, a guy they met in Walmart who came up to them!! And he said, "I have Mormon family, I think it's time I learn." So cool. So so cool. He's solid. Our lesson went so well and the spirit was so strong and he said all of this just makes sense to him, he feels that all the events in his life are just leading him to this. His daughter was there too and she's super into it. He's such a good guy, and he is a veteran. 

I don't remember much else from the week. I'm just a very sandy happy missionary.

P-Day at the Beach

 I will share how much I've been thinking about being my first Convert. I just want the gospel to be fully who I am, not a part of me or a"mission" me but completely who I am. I believe wholeheartedly that God is aware of me. And he wants me to know that.   I believe he drives to show all his children that every single day if we pay attention. 
God is the nature of happiness   : )
