Short email this week and only one
picture!!! I already gave Brock a hard
time for that one. One picture is not
okay. In his email to me, it sounded
like he loved this week, but it was full of challenges too. He told me that he thinks he’ll stay in
Winter Park training Elder Wesemann for the rest of this transfer and the next
one too, that will be until the end of May.
I think he’ll definitely be ready for a change by then.
Friends and Family,
Week 4 of the transfer is finished up
with the sun shining hotter then ever here in Florida (or at least that's what
it feels like!) I loved this week of my mission, and have learned valuable
lessons. General Conference was great, Easter was great, and my soon to be
farmers tan will be great!
Monday- Just a regular P-day! Biking takes
up a lot of our time for p-day between shopping, emailing, and finishing up
anything else we may need to do!
Tuesday- We visited a Less-Active member
of the church in an Assisted Living home Tuesday afternoon. On our way out, a random
guy in a wheelchair named Bob asked us if we were Mormon Missionaries! He
didn't look very old, and seemed pretty energetic. We replied yes, and he
invited us onto his patio. We sat and talked with him for a good hour and a
half as he asked us all sorts of questions about the religion. We cleared up misconceptions, answered his
questions, and bore some serious testimony. Bob then broke down and informed us
that his family had left him after he was in a serious car accident a little
over a year ago. He broke both femurs, and now has a lot of other difficulties
which refrain him from walking. He said he's been looking for God for the past
year or so, and just hasn't been able to find him. After the lesson, he had a
baptismal date for the 10th of May. What a miracle. It's events like this that
have helped me stay out on a mission.
Wednesday- We met with Tyrone Wednesday
morning on exchanges with a Elder Fontes! He is 24 and hails from Cape Verde!
How cool is that? He told me all about the little island west of the mainland.
Tyrone's lesson was awesome. We had planned to talk to him about the word of
wisdom. As we listed off some of the things we should not partake of he said
that everyone of them were disgusting and he promised his mom to never to do any
of them when he was 14 years old! Tyrone was definitely prepared for this
message
Thursday- Zone Training Meeting, and a
lot of trying to find more people to teach!
Friday- Weekly Planning, and a Ward
Easter Party! No I didn't get my face painted like a bunny either.

Saturday- SPIRITUAL FEAST Pt 1. Wow,
General Conference this weekend was the best. I was able to take away so much iPad
Sunday- SPIRITUAL FEAST Pt 2. Happy
Easter! Another great day to listen to the Prophet and Apostles speak to us. We
finished up the night by visiting Tyrone and Bob to see how their Easter
went!
Sorry for the shorter email this week!
Today is District P-Day and we are going to play sand volleyball! It's 82
degrees and no clouds in sight. Couldn't be much better! This week, it's
predicted to get up to 93 degrees. It's starting to get hot here in the
Sunshine State! Summer is right around the corner, and so is my one year mark.
I do t know how, but it is. I hope everyone had a great Easter, and bass good
week. Thanks again for all of the support!
Much Love,
Elder Doman

are becoming, and who we are, rather then who we once were"
