| This is the letter the the President Berry sent to me to let me know about Brock being a zone leader. I love how it lays out his duties and responsibilities for him. |
Friends and Family,
I've officially been out on my mission
for over a year now. It feels
like I've been away from home for maybe
a month! I don't know how time
goes by so quickly, and I fear it will
only speed up from here. Summer
has definitely arrived here in Florida
as we feel like we are getting
burnt from the sun after walking for 5
minutes. The humidity is
unbelievable, but I think I’m starting
to like it!
There were 4 really great things that
happened this week, which I feel
would be the best way to format this
email!

| The Leadership Council |
1) Elder Kapishka from the 70 came to
the mission to train the MLC. It
was a spiritual touchdown after 4 hours
of training from a special
witness of Jesus Christ. He discussed
how we can better love the
people and the missionaries in our
stewardship. It was really
motivating for me to work harder for the
people and the Lord, rather than
doing it just to do missionary work. As
Elder Harman and I implemented
this into our work, we found ourselves
more determined, and working
with a better purpose.
2) This week I was able to go on an
exchange with Elder Black! This
 |
| Brock and Elder Black |
was a very extraordinary exchange for me
because Elder Black has
Autism. I can't tell you how much I was
able to learn from him on this
exchange. He made a complete impact on
me and the rest of my mission
as he testified in the lessons, talked
with everyone, and was exactly
obedient. It reminded me of my cousin
Josh, and how much of an impact
he has had on my life. I'll always be
grateful for Josh, and the
example he is to me.
3) Elder Kapishka also talked to us on
focusing on the family, and how
we can find more people to teach as we
work with our investigators
families as well. As Elder Harman and I
really tried to get the whole
family into the lessons with our
investigators we were able to pick up
their families and they showed genuine
interest in the gospel, and
what their family members were learning
about!
4) A Recent Convert named Sky went home
teaching for the first time!
He was baptized the week before I
arrived in Daytona, and now went out
and taught a less active family in the
ward about the Restoration.
It's just cool to see how the Gospel
changes lives. If we are
dedicated and willing to make some
changes. I'm grateful to have seen
this and witness it for myself!
Well guys, we are into the second half
now! I've always been told to
be stronger in the second half, so
that's what I’ll shoot for! I feel
like I’m growing daily and loving life!
Thanks again for all of the
support. You guys are the best!
With Love,
