Hey hey!!! I got an email from my wonderful mother saying she doesn't know much about what goes on here in the Promised Land, or what I do in general, so I will give a brief synopsize of these past few weeks!
Elder Hanks and I get to talk to a lot of people in Florence! There are a lot of lower class people that we talk to that don't have very much, but they are really funny and we can joke a lot with them! We find a lot of new investigators, but turning them into progressing is the real battle! I think of it as we are in the Kobe Bryant area. Like Kobe, we take a lot of "shots" or we find a lot of investigators. Now Kobe Bryant scores a lot of points, because he takes so many shots :) As long as we keep finding lots of investigators, we will be able to teach a lot of them that will progress, because we've talked to so many! :) haha
Currently we are teaching a pretty decent group of people. Emily and Zach are a cute 19 year old couple that are trying to strengthen their relationship, and they have been seeing lots of change with their lives as they've been reading and praying as a family. (they have a 1 yr. old boy) But they went to this concert church called 7 hills, and that church is just like a youth party hangout called "church". So they like that one, and they feel bad just leaving it and coming to ours, so they are going to switch back and forth every week, which is totally dumb, but they'll figure it out soon enough haha!
We are also teaching Jeremy! Jeremy is a 20 yr. old from Jamaica, and he is a Rastafarian, or however you spell it haha!! But he's been kicking the weed, and cigarettes and soon will be baptized!
Things are great though!! I love serving in Florence, in the great state of Kentucky!! It has been my favorite area for sure!!! I have definitely done the most growing in this area, but we've also had the most success, so that is awesome too!!
I hope that does the trick mama, the rest will be fun stories when I get home :)
I love y'all, Godspeed!
