Week 34: You're the Inspiration

Earlier this week we heard that song on someone's radio or something. And its been stuck in my head the rest of the week. Good old Chicago. YOURE THE INSPIRATION!!!!! 


Hello wonderful people!! The work in Gainesville moves ever forward. This week honestly there isnt a lot to share. We went through our whole area book and we're working on calling/visiting everyone. Its a mess. So that has taken a lot of our time! But hey the Lord provides and its been great. 


We've gotten SO MUCH rain this week. Meaning we've gotten rained out of visits, lessons, and finding. But we're doing our best to show the Lord we are trying. 


One cool miracle we had this week was trying to find people in one of our towns, Newberry! So we were walking around and talking to people. And no one was interested. We found this fruit stand and started talking to the man running it. He was a very gruff guy. Not very friendly. But we started telling him about what we do and Sister Doxey shared a scripture about Christ (Alma 7:11, which by the way happy 7/11! Best celebrated by reading all the verses in the Book of Mormon with the referance 7/11) and gave him a Book of Mormon! His name is Dale :) He ended up giving us peaches! Later in the week we saw him again and talked to him about christ and he gave us more fruit!!! Yay Dale!


Gotta love Florida :) I have tons of weird pictures for no good reason so.... yay!

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
