Still in North Port


Hello Everyone,


I hope things are going well for you this last week. Hopefully pioneer day was fun for all of you.

So on Tuesday we got transfer calls and I am staying in the North Port area with Elder Arima. That was good to hear. There are a lot of good people here that I am excited to teach or members that I want to get to know better.

This week we had a lot of Member meals of people wanting to say goodbye to Elder Loy. Brother Collins gave him a belt buckle and a belt to go with it when we had dinner with him that were pretty cool. Then on Thursday, Elder Arima had to drop him off in Venice since Elder Humphries was also heading home. He was a great missionary and I learned a lot from him. Hopefully things go well for him at BYU-Idaho. If any of you run into him up there, say hi for me.

Elder Arima also had a good lesson with a man named Rocky. We met him last week and taught him this last week. He is super humble. and I look forward to meeting with him again this next week.

We also met a cool man named Derek this week. He was flying his airplane by the Publix near our house. He had a question about how there were so many bibles so we were able to answer that for him and give him a Book of Mormon. Hopefully we can see him again this week and answer some more of his questions.

Other than that, this week was just another good week in the mission field. I look forward to what this next week will bring. Goo luck with whatever you decide to do as well. Talk to you more next week!

Thanksgiving and Transfers!!!   Hey y'all! Hopefully Thanksgiving went well for y'all. I know that it went well for us here in the Palm Harbor area.   This last week has been full of miracles. I have gained a surety this week that Heavenly Father is aware of me and everyone and that he truly is in the details of our lives. Multiple times this week Elder Mainor and I have received promptings on where to go and miracles have occurred. One of them is we felt like we should go to a neighborhood with a couple of people that we could stop by, but would most likely not be home. One of the people was Walt. He is always busy and the last 3 times we have tried to contact him it has not gone well. Then on Saturday he was supposed to work all day for one person and he finished early. That is how we were able to see him in his garage and talk to him. He was very kind and had us give him a couple of chapters to read from the Book of Mormon. He promised us that he would read them some day. I...

  "I'LL BE HOME FOR (EASTER)" Hey Y'all,   Wow, this is it. My final weekly and final day in the Tampa Florida mission. Time really has flown by. I never thought I would get to this day. I have enjoyed every second of it though in retrospect at least.   So this week was pretty slow. We have had some good things happen. One exciting thing we have been able to do is reach out to some of the members who are less active. We had a man named Brother Mercer. He originally was a little weirded out by our call, but we were able to share a quick message with him and he wanted us to call him back. I hope Elder Memmott can help him well.   We also got to go to Tampa a few times this week which was nice. Elder Porter needed to train the next technology specialist so I got to go on a couple day exchanges with the Carrollwood Elders. It was fun to get to learn from them.   One of the other exciting things that has happened is we had a zone conference over video call which was ...
