Well y'all... I'm getting TRANSFERRED. I'm all packed up and ready to head to Miami Lakes, which is right by Miami. My new companion will be Elder Gomez. He's from Venezuela so it will be so cool. I heard great things about him and he will help me so much. There is a ton of Cubans there so that will be tough, but I can do it, (Cubans speak really hard Spanish so that's why)
I'm leaving Greenacres which is sad. It's my birthplace and I have loved it. I have over 900 photos from this place and I have loved it. So many good times. This Ward and the people are like my second family and it's a new home for me I've found.
One amazing miracle we had was we finally got a lesson with our friend who we meet before Christmas. We went over to her house with a member. Before the lesson we planned to talk about the Plan of Salvation. I, for some reason (the Spirit was the reason), grabbed a Book of Mormon out of the car to have an extra one. We meet the woman's husband and he is so cool. He had a ton of questions and liked how the Book of Mormon explained the fall of Adam and Eve. Then half way through our member shared his testimony and we changed the whole lesson after that to explain the Book of Mormon and we gave them that extra book I brought. They were super interested and we are excited to see how their experience was. It was awesome that we were able to change the plan to a better plan that the Spirit had for us.
We also set our friend Luis on date for the 22 of February.
One crazy thing was I was knocking and this black Pentecostal Pastor opens up and he is super nice and excited. He thanked us for teaching about Jesus and he asked if he could pray for us so we said sure. Then he puts out his hands and we join hands and he begins to offer a BEAUTIFUL prayer. He blessed us with the 6 angels of heaven. 3 for me and 3 for my companion. It was so hard to not laugh. Plus half way through the like 2 minute prayer his wife comes over behind him and starts saying "amen" and "hallelujah" in the background. Super cool times and I felt so energized after.
I love this place.
Have a great week y'all.
Love,
Elder Isom
