We seem to get more and more going on each day. We have been surprised how involved the apartment inspections have been and how exhausted we felt the three days we did them this week. We started our work in the Snapper Creek Branch Saturday and Sunday. We enjoyed getting to know the Branch leadership and a few of the young adults. We are looking forward to helping them as much as we can in their missionary effort. We gave the last new member lesson to Dalton Rhoden and took him out for ice cream afterwards. He is a neat man and we have really grown close to him. We will teach the last new member lesson to Brother Ladden on Wednesday and then we are taking him out to dinner afterwards. That will wrap up our involvement in the Coconut Creek ward. Elder Black also took a Gospel Principles manual to Gary Francois Sunday morning and got to say goodbye to him.
The Pompano Beach Stake temple day was a great success with over 1100 endowments and a total of 1700 ordinances performed for the dead. The missionary work continues to go forward with great success. The week after next is Transfer Week and 15 new missionaries will be arriving and 6 departing. This arriving group includes 8 Sisters and 5 ASL (American Sign Language) missionaries. One of them is both deaf and cannot speak. I cannot imaging the faith and determination she must have.
We got to see some large Florida spiders today down by the beach. They are about 2 or 3" long and they make huge webs (see attached photos).
