Week 26 in Florida (Full Spanish Week 10)

Okay. Get this. I am writing you from an iPad! Not only that, but I am speaking my email! This Suri thing is so cool! This work is for real hastening. I hope that you all realize that. Carrying around this thing has a really made me feel that. I feeling pretty much the whole work has changed a lot. Even just since I've been out here. So, on Tuesday we are huge conference. Well not really that huge as with people, just what happened. That's where we got iPads! The Us a little bit of instructions, but mostly they just said to work on them and learn how to do it as you go. Not going to lie, I kind of freaked out. I wasn't really sure I could use technology. Been a long seven months of no technology. Well little bit of technology, but not really that much. Hna. Miller's been driving, so I've had some more time to play on it and use it more. It has EVERYTHING on it! Well, not everything in Spanish. But basically the mission's going paperless. Crazy! So we do this thing now in the mission where you spend one whole day without the car. You can walk or ride your bike or ride the bus or do anything, you just can't use your car. This week we walked until the sun went down and then we rode our bikes. We found one guy who recently moved here from another country, and used to take the lessons there. He said that he lost contact with the missionaries but he'd be willing to learn again. Hopefully we get to see in this week. I think almost everyone we talked to accepted an invitation for us to go to their homes and leave a prayer. Not sure if they really excepted, or if we're actually going to be able to go. But that's something! The second day we had the iPads, we went to a members home to leave a prayer. We pulled out the iPads for a return appointment to teach his nonmember wife and he was all like "oooooohhhhh whaaat?!" Haha, it was pretty awesome. We had the same reaction on Sunday when we pull them out in Ward Council. The members really know that this means business! We have one investigator right now named Joel. He has diabetes and is going blind. He's praying about a baptismal date right now, but he wants to make sure he goes to church before he knows for sure that he should be baptized. Of course he can't drive right now, but we had a member lined up to take him. But! we gave her the wrong number. So she called him to say she's coming to get him, but she couldn't reach him! Hopefully we can fix it and they'll come next week. We have another investigator praying about a baptism date also. Her son just got sealed in the temple. He doesn't really know how to explain it to her. He called us a couple weeks ago to ask how teaching his mom is going. It's been going really well. She's a very special daughter of God. We taught her about temples last week and she just started crying when I was testifying to her that she'd go to the temple some day with her and and the rest of her family. She knows it's true! She just needs to know that she knows. We taught the parents of the 6 boys on Monday. We taught the Plan of Salvation. We asked the dad what he thought of it. He said its all new to him, but it makes sense that it's the plan of God :) We're seeing them again tonight, I am so excited! Pretty sure these are the people that are most prepared to receive the gospel right now. Those are the best! Well! That's pretty much it for the week. Lots of changes lots of things happening. This work is the work of God. I know it is. I hope they are all doing everything you can to be a part of this work. There are so many blessings that you can get from it! Les quiero mucho! Hasta luego, y que Vaya con Dios :)  Hermana Despain
