"You go out there and give em' Heaven!"- Dean the temple worker

 I'm going go just tell you right now, this is going to be a long email haha this week went by so so fast, and it was jammed packed.


On Tuesday, we decided to do our studies at the temple, but when we got there, a guys named Carlos Polo started talking to us, and then the best thing happened. He proceeded to ask us if we wanted to see the new angel Moroni going on top of the temple!!!?!?! We obviously said YES!! I can now confidently say that I have touched the angel Moroni's eyebrow hahaha! It was so cool, and was so huge! After that, Carlos continued to talk for a really really long time, with no breaths lol. I didn't get to say anything the whole time haha. 

Another thing, the weather here is so bipolar. It has been pouring on and off every day this week, and let's just say, my hair doesn't want to cooperate with this weather and HEAT! I just need to accept the fact that my hair isn't going to he straight for the next 18 months. I try. And it goes curly every time lol! 

I also got the opportunity to teach seminary this week, and let's just say I'm not used to waking up that early. It was so awesome, and the youth in this ward!! They are amazing!! 

Sorry, I'm still going haha, we had the best miracle this week. It starts with Sister Mcleods dream lol she had a dream on Thursday night that she and I were teaching a mom and her daughter and she needed to remember it had something to do with a flower. Later, we were in the church, and we were so determined to find someone that night, so we prayed and started OYM'ing. As we were driving, we were so excited because we thought we found a new neighborhood, but quickly realized that we found the house we were searching for for weeks!!! We never wrote down the address of the house, but we happened to come upon it lol. We had such an amazing conversation with the lady that lived there, and we gave her a Book of Mormon and a Plan of Salvation pamphlet. As we started talking, her daughter came from around the corner!!! Then we asked her what brings her joy, and she said her daughter and GARDENING!! Okay this couldn't get any better!! I know that Heavenly Father places us in the exact places we need to be. When we seek for miracles, we will see them!! I know that from the bottom of my heart, and I really am so grateful to have this gospel in my life to guide me through everything!! 

Okay last thing, I promise;) on Friday, we went to lunch with the Gonzalez family, and the twins showed up with huge flower bouquets!! They are the cutest, and I absolutely LOVE their family. I know I say that all the time, but it's so true! 

I love you all so much, and I'm so grateful to be a missionary, and my love for my mission grows stronger and stronger every day!! Also, get this. I am already done with my first transfer! WOW time flew by and I've been in Florida for a month and a half already!! Craziness! And... I got to see the ocean today!! It was so beautiful and God is real!! Just look at what he created!

Anyways I hope you all have an amazing week, and thanks for sitting through that email, but love ya:)

Elder Morrison said what??!

  Woa Guan Man! (That is how they say good morning in Jamaica!) Our friend Antonio taught us that the first time we went to see him haha! I just have to say, I love people. This week especially was just full of so many different kinds of people, and I LOVE IT!  I'm just going to sum this week up in some bullet points:) - Let me start with Joe... Joe came up to us in Bass Pro shop and took our whole district to lunch! He was following us around, and we were a little scared and then he was super friendly, and sometimes a little too friendly. He sat in between Sister Mcleod and I and we each went one by one around the table teaching the restoration HA! He grabbed Sister Mcleod's and my hand, and he was like staring into our souls... kinda scary, but he was an adventure to say the least.  - Also, I don't think I've ever been more tired in my entire life! Literally! We woke up at the crack of dawn on Wednesday to film a music video for the Creole Facebook page, and it was so...

Chia pets, and shattered glass!!

  Hola mis amigos! Another transfer; GONE! I'm staying in Boynton Beach with Sister Anderson:) Time is just flying! I am so grateful to be a missionary! Seriously, I wouldn't have it any other way:) Okay let's get to what all of yall actually want to hear haha!  We have been teaching this super cool guy, Adam. There's a couple things you need to know about Adam: he has no concept of time, he wants to be baptized, and he has a lot of girl problems lol. He is always asking us for relationship advice... like of all people he asks the 2 girls who can't even have relationships haha anyways we just sit and listen. But he really does want to be baptized, so we are working with him to achieve that goal! We made a deal with him that if he doesn't smoke for one week, we will quit sugar. That one didn't last very long. I'm not going to say who cracked first, but let's just say we had ice cream last night haha.  Now for the crazy. Because you know I can't go...

Dori said to "Just keep swimming," so that's what I did...

  Oh-M-Goodness! If I could put every emotion into one week, this would be the week. I'm not even kidding. We cried, we laughed, we died, we "swam", we sang, we were happy, and we were sad. Everything in one:) "BREAKING NEWS, 2 SISTER MISSIONARIES STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AMAZON FLORIDA JUNGLE" no im kidding. For starters, I have NEVER seen this much rain in my entire life. This week we had a literal downpour. It was basically raining cats and dogs! I think we had 29 inches of water, and honestly, we probably had more than that. We were heading back home from our tech council, and we got stuck on this one street that was backed up for days because it was flooded! Every time a car would pass us, our car would lift off the ground a little bit because the waves! We were driving through the ocean. It wasn't funny at the moment, but it was funny to look back on, and especially watch all our videos. I found that we got distracted a lot, and ended up praying i...
