Floridian Update!

So, life here is a little hectic. With my phone not working and my Internet down I have felt much like this is another full-time mission. I even sent snail mail to my family and 2 of my friends yesterday--whoa--blast from the past.

I have seen some really wonderful people come to Christ while I have been here. This week was like the marathon gospel week. Last Friday and Saturday I spent in Ft. Lauderdale at a young single adult (YSA) conference, then church in Sunday, with missionary meeting after, teaching new member discussions, and to top it off a fireside. Monday was FHE, Tuesday meetings with the bishop/YM/YW @ the church, and a couple hours working with LDS Family Services to establish the addiction recovery groups here in So. Florida. Wednesday I taught Institute on 2 Nephi. Thursday was the Relief Society pioneer dinner, Tonight was the YSA/missionary dinner we hosted, tomorrow morning at 6:30 we have a stake temple trip leaving for Orlando, then back by 7 or 8pm, and church the next morning.

The work with LDS Family Services and also AFSP, and most especially the church have been wonderful!!! I love it here!!! I got offered a job in Nantucket for the next 4-5 months, and I had decided to go...I made a list of pros and cons and all the "cons" were the people here, quality friends, missionary and service opportunities. I don't want to leave the people.

Oh, and an incredible Jerusalem Story. I will save it for later! Lovin' life here!
