Dearest family and friends,
What an amazing week our Father in Heaven has blessed me with! I know that no matter how your week went, good or bad, it was a gift from God, so if nothing else we should be grateful for it! Thanksgiving was absolutely amazing! We had two dinners! One was with my favorite members the Keoppel family! They were so thoughtful and got pictures and letters from my family and surprised us with them! It was probably the nicest thing someone out here in Florida has done for me! I am so very grateful for them and the other members that have been so kind to me! The second dinner we had was with Brother Alderman and his girlfriend Nelly, (the ones that came to church last week) they are amazing! They explained to us how ever since that previous Friday, their lives had been changed for the better and how much happier they are! It's amazing how feeling the spirit and God's love can change an individual! Dinner was great and then on Saturday Elder Gillen and Elder Russell taught her another amazing lesson and she explained that she wanted to be baptized before her birthday in January! We are so incredibly excited for her! And then they came to church again! They are amazing! Keep them in your prayers!
Meanwhile I was on an exchange with Elder Gentry! We had an amazing day...
Whoops I got distracted by the other missionaries playing gatorball and accidentally sent my email... so sorry! Anyway on exchanges we found a new investigator, taught several less active members and then had about the coolest lesson ever! We had three members come with us to see a Haitian family of 5! We had planned to teach the Plan of Salvation, but our lesson didn't quite go as we had planned! One of the members was Haitian and spoke in Haitian Creole for 50 mins! I just sat there and watched the correspondence! It was amazing although I couldn't understand a word I felt the spirit so strong! After what seemed like a very long time the Haitian mother stopped and explained how she felt amazing! She felt that what the member said was true! She said that the church felt right! It was an amazing experience for me and really strengthened my testimony! I know that the church is true! It is true in every nation and tongue! I am extremely grateful I have the opportunity to be a missionary in this area! I love being on the Lord's errand! I love the church! I love my Savior! Look for the good in every moment! And know God loves you! Love you all with all my heart!
Your grateful and blessed missionary,
Elder Tracy
