Ella's Mission Florida Fort Lauderdale

  Happy Monday! I'm going to be honest with yall, not a lot has happened this week, so this is going to be a shorter email:)  We decided to go biking for like the first time in forever it felt... let's just say we are sore now. Note to self: bike more so you don't get sore, and instead get ripped! Jk! No but we biked to Chigozie's and found out some very valuable information about her and what she believes about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith! As we retaught her the restoration this random woman named Elizabeth came by the house and sat in on our lesson! As we shared the first vision, she was in awe and the spirit was SO STRONG! Anyways, the next day when we went by, Chigozie had read just the intro and did some studies of her own, and then ended up teaching us the restoration haha! It was awesome!  Then we get to the next part about our biking adventures... we're just riding along, and then Sister Mcleod screams at me that we have to go back to the dead iguana...

  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...

  Hello, and welcome back to the vlogs. Just kidding, but actually. These emails are starting to look a lot like my journals haha, but that is a good thing right? You all signed up for it, so here goes another week! I came to the scary realization this week that I am getting towards the end of my mission! Absolutely not! I also realized a long time ago that I never want to not be a missionary! Literally ever! Every day is a new adventure, and it's fun waking up, and expecting one thing, and then something completely different and unexpected happens! I LOVE IT!  Anyways, enough of my rambling, let's get to the good stuff that you all have been waiting for:)  Because we are the digital media specialists in the mission, we get to go around the mission recording missionaries, and other people! We recorded the new missionaries that came into the mission! It was crazy! It felt like I was right where they were like last week! I guess you could say it's been a little longer ...

  Hello! Good morning! Happy Tuesday! I know I say this a lot, but this week was one of my favorite weeks of my mission! For starters, it was General conference, so it's a win win! I absolutely LOVE conference weekend! And something that I've noticed, which is crazy to think about, but when you are doing a lot of spiritual work, your physically tired! And that's why everyone is so tired conference weekend! HA I found the answer! Hahaha anyways, all of the talks this conference were so focused on the Savior, and making covenants with our Heavenly Father! Bonnie H. Cordon said, "never give up an opportunity to testify of Christ!" When we say oir testimony outloud, the spirit testifies of the truths we say again! It strengthens our testimonies while we share them! Isn't that cool?? The gospel is just so perfect:)  During conference this weekend, our recent convert Charles texted us during the Saturday afternoon session, and told us that he has seen the choir in a...
