The week we chopped down 9 trees

Hey y'all!

I hope you guys have had a great week :) This week was pretty good, we did a TON of service which is always fun. For some reason, everyone needed help with stuff this week and I'm glad they called us!

We were able to paint the ceilings of a house, mow some lawns, do some weeding, serve at a few soup kitchens, and cut down NINE trees. It was so much fun. I did get bit by mosquitoes like crazy but that's pretty much expected now haha. It has rained like everyday this week! I love it so much! There's nothing quite like a FL thunderstorm. It's so nice in the summer because it cools things down a little!

We had so many miracles this week! My favorite was meeting and teaching our new friend, Chloe. Chloe is 16 years old and has been catholic most of her life but has been looking for more. We taught her this past Wednesday and she told us she wants to get baptized and become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!! She has already told us she knows through the Holy Ghost that this gospel is true! AHHH! Now she just needs her mom's consent... She came to the young women's activity that evening and had a great time. She is so prepared!! I love her so much already.

It's crazy that so many of my friends are home or getting home from their missions! Where does the time go?! I don't ever wanna grow up.  I think I'll just be a missionary forever!

Guys, I just love being a missionary.  Never in my life have I felt such a weight of responsibility towards helping others receive their salvation , but I love that weight.  It allows me to feel just how important this gospel is, how important this message we have to share is, how important the work I am doing out here is.  It can change lives, it can save lives!

I love you all so incredibly much! Hope you have a wonderful week <333

A note someone left us after telling us
to come over to teach them a lesson

When all your missionary friends send pictures
in front of castles and waterfalls, in Crestview we send
pictures in front of cool m&m hay barrels
