The three amigos

This week we got another missionary, his name is Elder Burton and he is from New Mexico. At first I thought that a tri-panionship would be hard but we all get along great and it is so much fun. Non the less our fun doesn't get in the way of our work, in fact we have been having great success in this week. Things didn't go exactly the way we planned and sometimes our plans fell through but president gave some good advice saying, " when an appointment falls through don't feel discouraged, instead look around for the person or the reason the lord sent to that area for. So we didn't get down and and we did it all week.
Scottie is looking better and better for his baptism this coming Saturday. He may not understand everything but I think that he will understand enough. We are also trying to figure out what is holding Big Scott from getting baptized. He is coming to church and reading and praying and we have been really searching for the answer. We were really happy when we went over and Big Scott told us some of his worries and concerns. He trusts us. I know there is something else but we will have to address that next time.
Margie is great and happy as ever, She got a visiting teaching assignment and she is just awesome.
All week we have been trying to find some new investigators and it is not happening. We followed up with some people but their spouse just told us to go away and they aren't really interested. I don't like it when that happens. On Saturday we helped some a family move out of there old house and into their new one. I was so drained after that not even pizza could wake me up. It stared to rain and we were in the middle of it and if you don't know Florida than you don't know rain.
Church on Sunday was great! Elder Burton, Elder Cook, and I sang a special musical number the hymn," I Believe in Christ". It was very nice, it brought a very tender spirit into the meeting. After church we went over to a guy named Joey who we have been tying to get a hold of for a while. He Finally was home and we were able to teach him and he is interested in finding what ever truth is out there. So that brought us some joy to finally find a someone.
We also had one other new investigator named Makayla. She came to church and is friends with the Clawsons. We are going to teach her this week at the Clawsons Huge Mansion next to the beach. There house could probably fit my house and 4 more. I am having a great time and I love this church and I know for a fact that it is the true church of Jesus Christ. I love you all. Take care.
