A Fun Week



We had a fun week. It was Elder and Sister Kynston's last full week in the mission and we took them to a place we knew of to purchase some presents for their family and also visited a Miccosukee Indian Village where we went on an air boat ride to an island with an Indian Village and also got do see a lot of alligators and even hold one who's mouth was not taped. He really squirmed around and wanted to take a bite out of us. On Saturday, we had a party at Elder and Sister Hogge's for the Kynastons and after dinner we played a Florida type Jeopardy game and found out how little we know about Florida.

We also had a rewarding week in teaching Daily Dose English and helping out. One of the families told us that they felt we were here to help out their family at a difficult time when the husband is facing possible deportation and other challenges exist. Elder Black gave the husband a priesthood blessing last night and his immigration hearing is today. We have been praying for that family for many weeks and hae faith that the Lord will help them. Tomorrow is the Transfer Meeting and it is allows exciting when the missionaries get their new area and companionship assignments. We delivered the Chapel Card printer and files to the Mission Office for them to take over the printing. Elder Black printed about 3000 cards for nearly all of the companionships last week so that it will be an easy transition for the Mission Office to take over there new assignment. Over the next 10 days, Sister Black will be over the missionary medical and Elder Black will be over the apartments until the new couple, Elder and Sister Welch, arrive in early October. It should be a busy week or so.
