Under Pressure

Hello there!  this week was a great week!  Week one of transfer #4!!  we had a great week! 

 We got to take Sister Smith out on a lesson with us on Tuesday!  (we were a little nervous)  It went really well. There was no reason that we should have been nervous haha.  But when you take the mission president's wife on a lesson, the pressure is on....  The Spirit in that lesson was intense.  Sister Smith shared a beautiful testimony!  I am so grateful for her and her great example!  I found out that she is related to Debbie Donaldson, the lady who cuts my momma's hair.  Its a small world for sure!!!  The best part about tuesday though, was that President and sister smith took us out to dinner!! That was super fun!  I love president and sister smith so much!!  I  gave them some of the Bananna Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies I made, and they LOVED them!!  We can just say that i am the new favorite sister missionary in the FTM haha ....if only that were true :)

We had some success with getting in touch with some less actives this week.  I love teaching the less actives in the Pensacola Ward!!  The love that I have for these people is unreal!  This new focus for the mission is going to change lives, wards, and stakes!  Its absolutely amazing.  I have never been able to experience love for people quite like this before.  I am able to see people how our Heavenly Father sees them.  Its is a priviledge!! 

Saturday, Ermilisa had her Baptismal interview..... She passed :) haha  So she is ready to go!  We got her fitted for a jump suit, and have the whole baptism program all planned out!  We have been inviting everyone!!  Its gonna be a great day!  She is an amazing woman!  She truly is a woman of faith.  She has changed so much over the last 4.5 months.  But all for the better of course!  She is so ready and excited to be baptized!!  She is already a great missionary too!!  she has given out 4 book of mormons!!  and she has taken 3 friends to church with her!!!  How awesome is that!! 

Sunday was the primary program in the Pensacola ward :)  it was so good!!  The way these kids testified of Christ through their singing and talks was absolutely incredible!!! Ermilisa had brought her neighbor with her to church, and they loved the program!!!  The ward is also super excited for her baptism tomorrow!!  I think there is going to be a great turn out!!  Hopefully anyways. 
Oh how i love being a missionary!  Its nothing i expected... its better!!  The experiences i have had are so special to me!  I cannot imagine doing anyting else right now.  I know that it is not chance that i have been called to serve in the Florida Tallahassee Mission.  Its not by chance that President Smith is my Mission President.  I look up to them so much and learn so much from them!!  Missions are hard, im not going to lie.  But they are more than worth it!!  This gospel brings such joy and peace into my life!  I love sharing this gospel with others with the intent of getting people to come closer to our Savior Jesus Christ!
