My companion Elder Cook got sent back to his original assignment in Brazil. I'm in a trio with Elder Brower and Reynolds until transfers next week. We are covering both the Windermere and Olympia wards and the work is POPPIN. We've been super busy and the members of both wards have been feeding us like crazy. There was a two day span where we got fed SEVEN times.
I did exchanges with Elder Spillet, who's a new missionary and one of my favorites in the mission. We had one of my most memorable days of my mission. We had a really powerful lesson with Barbara and put her on date for baptism on March 20th.
We also had lunch at the Rampersand's house. They are a really nice catholic family and they live in Isleworth, which is the neighborhood where all the rich celebrities and CEOs in Orlando live. They are an extremely kind and humble family that wanted to feed us because they heard we dedicate two years of our lives to teach the gospel. Their house is SO COOL and they want to have us back.
We went fishing with a guy named Juan as a pass-off lesson with the sisters. Juan is a total homie and taught us the basics of fishing. We hit it off and we'll be setting up a time to meet with him again.
Fishing was a bust tho, all we caught were little tiny fish to use as bait for big fish.
A member took us out to eat at the Bay Hill Club. We show up and find out it is BOUJEE. Everything on the menu was really expensive. Turns out, this club hosts the Arnold Palmer Invitational which is this huge pro golf tournament that will be going down this next week.
We are teaching a Brazilian lady named Danielle and she is awesome. She likes coming to the english ward but we generally teach her lessons in Portuguese. My portuguese is rusty but I've gotten to use it a lot more lately.
I started reading the book The Infinite Atonement and it's cool how often it emphasizes the importance of The Atonement of Jesus Christ. Without the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, there wouldn't be any other doctrine, hope, or salvation. There's nothing more important to understand than The Atonement of Jesus Christ.
