Happy New Year

We have had a good week visiting missionaries and enjoying Christmas. After talking to our family on Christmas day, we traveled to Florida City and stayed over night, got up early and the drove to Key West the next day. We had companion study and training with the Elders and then later in the morning, another couple missionaries, the Kynaston's and Sister Kynaston's sister Susan, showed up and did their apartment inspection and a car inspection. We then took the Elders to lunch and after taking the Elders back to their apartment, we did a little sightseeing and started driving home around 4:30 pm and got home at 8:30 pm. It was a long day. On Sunday, one of the new members we have been working with received a church calling in the RS visiting teaching. We also spoke in Sacrament meeting at the Hollywood ward and attended a baptism after that meeting. Brother Vazquez was baptized. Sister Vazquez had been baptized 1 1/2 months ago. His husband had been investigating and she was so disappointed when he decided to discontinue the lessons. But, the Holy Ghost told her to just leave him alone and so she did. On Christmas eve, he told her he was ready to be baptized. On Sunday evening, President Hale came to our apartment and told us we will be moving to Coral Springs (north of where we now live). We will live in Coral Springs and work in the Lauderhill branch (Spanish speaking branch). This will likely happen in about 2 or 3 weeks. We appreciate all the kindnesses and thoughts of encouragement we received during the Christmas season. Thank and best wishes for a prosperous New Year to everyone.
