Week 9 (Orlando, Florida) Loving Orlando and the people!

  What's uppppp!!!

How's everyone doing??

Too keep things short and not make you read so much, I've stolen the way my comp formulates her emails!

Sweets:

- me and Hermana Idiart made cookies, they were buss

- taught slang to our friends that come to English class

- the whole missions goal of finding people was 1,000 and we found OVER 1,000 how sick is that!!

- went on an exchange w/ the STL's, they both came to our area and we went on a finding grind so my spanish was put to the test, it didn't go to terrible! i was shocked lol

- New years eve was celebrated by getting ice cream at Twistee (so buss) and going to bed at 10!! right up my alley but I would've loved to go to bed earlier

- District council on Wednesday is always super fun, my district is lit

- played pickleball and volleyball for pday and went to the World's Biggest McDonald's and then hung out with everyone at the chapel

Sours:

- honestly too many to count.....

- slammed doors, people telling us they actually don't wanna get baptized....lol yeah but it's okay this week is gonna be great!!!

Pensamiento espiritual:

In our Sunday night Devotional, we talked a lot about baptism, and the Book of Mormon. President Belot quoted something from a missionary's testimony from a baptism. He said "I CANNOT and WILL NOT deny that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that this church is the true restored church on this earth". The spirit was so strong over zoom lol. Anyways I'm so grateful for this opportunity to serve the people of Orlando, I don't think I can say it enough, I love it here!

I'd love to hear from yall :)

 Hey everyone!! How's everyone doin?? Let's get right into it! Sweets: - our friend Ico got baptized!!!! He's the chillest guy I've ever met and his family got baptized in Utah last year! #eternalfamilies - lots of fire lessons with our friends - not gonna lie this week was pretty lowkey Sours:  - weird knocking interactions - not too many sours this week! Sorry for the short email but I'm not complaining! Pensamiento espiritual: This week there was something on my mind that I just couldn't shake! Thinking of what I am doing here, is crazyyy!!! I love being here and being a missionary! And how so many of our friends and just random people will tell us anything about their life and when I say anything I mean ANYTHING, and we're some complete strangers it's crazy! But I love seeing all our friends testimonies grow so fast and so much! I have so much love for all of our friends! Have a greet week everyone! - Hermana Bailey<3

 Hola hola a todos!! This email is a little different and let me tell ya why! This week is transfers so when you're reading I will know if I'm staying in this area or leaving. Now here's why it's different, I actually know what's happening for me this transfer! I'm... gonna be a MOM (mission lingo), which means I'm training a new missionary! Now I don't know if I'm leaving or staying but it's my first time training so I'm praying I'm staying in Saint Cloud! But I'm super excited to have a mini me. Sweets : - more buss member meals  - another special musical number at church Sours: - Lots of rejection Pensamiento espiritual : Listened to a Hank Smith devotional, he's funny and helped me a lot with things I've struggled with the past week! - hna bailey
