Farewell South Florida


We cannot believe that our mission is just about over. The attached picture shows members of the Snapper Creek branch who gave Elder and Sister Black a send off with a cake, a nice picture and messages from them written in a journal. Sister Black was not feeling well today, so she was not able to be there. We have really enjoyed our assignment to the Snapper Creek branch. In our last posting on the blog, we mentioned the two waiters at Olive Garden who President and Sister Hale invited to have the missionaries over. One of them has been taught and has accepted a baptism date in early May. President Hale is going to baptize him. We have had a busy week teaching Daily Dose on Wednesday where there were 13 students (a record) and then training a sister from the Ft. Lauderdale ward and 4 missionaries assigned to the Ft. Lauderdale ward on Daily Dose English. We have had a long list of things to do (36). We ended up getting new tires, shocks, alignment and balancing as well as nitrogen in our tires. The Jeep has never run smoother. We did not want to take a chance coming across the country. All of our furniture was moved out on Saturday except our bed, a card table and two folding chairs. It echo's in our apartment. Tomorrow morning we will be meeting with our landlord, shipping off our bed, finishing packing, doing the Data Base Reporting, taking our keys, phone, etc. to the Mission Office, saying our goodbyes, packing up the Jeep and doing a few more things before heading to Orlando.
