Week 55: Walking on Water

Scout Benson

Hello from Lynn haven! More affectionately known as lynn heaven :)) this week has been so good just getting to know people and the area. Of course a new area is always hard because it's starting at ground zero and I miss my gainesville family, but I know I'm needed here and I've already seen that!!! So here's some miracles this week :)) 


- we went to invite a lady named denise to the blood drive. She had never let the sisters in and seemed uninterested. Well it was chilly when we showed up so... she invited us in!!! We just were getting to know her then she started asking questions. So we introduced the book of mormon and she was like "um... not interested in a book that replaces the Bible" so! We had some explaining to do and we ended up teaching the whole restoration!! By the end she had promised us to read the book of mormon! We came back 3 days later and she was in 1 nephi 11!! What a miracle! 

- we had an awesome lesson with a lady named Ashley and we taught the organization of the church and she said it all just made so much sense that she couldn't help but love it!!

- we are teaching a family named the Coles. Paula is the mom who is fighting cancer so she needs prayers, her 11 year old ellie and her 9 year old Steven. They're all so smart and they came to church and they're getting BAPTIZED on the 17th!!!! 


It's been a whirlwind of a week but I couldn't be more grateful. Sorry for the late email, we spent all day at the beach ;)

  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...
