Peter 3.19.12

I'M GETTING TRANSFERRED to Kissimmee east it is just south of Orlando and is close to my first area. we will actually meet in the same building as the Pleasant Hill Ward. so i will see the Iglasia family that was baptized almost a year ago at church on Sundays.

 this past week was awesome we had a st Patrick's day ward party. the ward mission put it on so we ended up being very involved we were inviting people all week. the party consisted of a potato bar and a church tour. the idea was to have members invite their non-member friend to enjoy the food and come on the tour to see what we are all about. they did brief presentations of what we do in many of the rooms and some of the different programs the church has. c and d came with their two children as well as sus with her 2 children. the ward was amazing in welcoming the them and making them feel comfortable. the activity was awesome. c and d came ten min. early and with the church being the same all around the world everyone was running late. so they were the first ones their. we were nervous that it would not be well attended by the members but by a half hour after the supposed starting time the members showed up. we were super grateful that they all came. the party was just what sus needed. she has been exposed to the church for a long time but was never really interested. she accepted the invite to church and said she would be there. c and d also said they would be there

 Sunday morning came and sacrament meeting started and nobody was there. when we saw c and her family coming we greated them and as we were coming in one side of the chapel with them sus and her kids were coming in on the other side  of the chapel. it was a huge blessing to have them there and they both stayed for the entire 3 hour block. they all liked church and we were able to teach them both after church. we also had a tender mercy of 2 guys that we have never meet randomly come to church. all in all it was an awesome day.
