July 21st
Friends and Family!
Time is flying by here on my mission!!
I'm absolutely loving it! Some days I feel like I never want to go home! There
are definitely hard times, but I know that my Savior Jesus Christ is with me
every step of the way! One of the members had the story "Footprints in the
Sand" hanging up in his home and it really made me so grateful
for all of the experiences I am having! If you haven't read it,
I suggest looking it up!
We are still seeing a lot of
success! We taught our investigator Pam the word of wisdom and
tithing Monday night and she willingly gave up her coffee, drinking,
smoking, and she agreed to pay tithing! It has now been one week and she is
still clean! She said, "There is no way I would have been able to do this
without the help of my Lord, Jesus Christ. I love the power of prayer. I don't
even want to drink beer, or coffee anymore. I've been trying to get off for 2
years and haven't been able to until you guys asked if I'd pray to Heavenly
Father for the strength." Wow. What an experience right?? August 2nd will
be an awesome day for her! We had to move back our other investigators date
because she hasn't been to church yet!
We were able to attend the Orlando temple
this Friday! The temple is so incredible and there is such a great feeling
while you are there! It was nice to be able to go and take my mind off of the
missionary work and to relax and feel the spirit so strongly.
So the most common question I'm getting
from loved ones back home is what is your day-to-day life like? and that's
really hard to answer because everyday is different! But I'll try. We wake up
at 6:30, work out, and prepare for the day until 8. We then have 3 hours of
study with our companion, preparing lessons and where we are going to try to
contact people. We are out and about teaching lessons, biking, drinking
gallons of water, and sweating to death until about 9:15. We then start to plan
a little bit for tomorrow and try to be in bed by 10! That's really brief and
so much happens in between but it really just depends on the day!
I posted some pictures with this and
hope you can see them!
I miss you guys, but I know that this is
where I am supposed to be.
Much love,
Elder Doman
