January 27

I KNEW IT!!! I FELT YOUR PRESENCE!!! 

I was literally was like "I bet you anything my family is in Florida right now... "

But that's crazy with HSN! How did everything sell? 

Yes, last week was kinda rough.. not gonna lie. I wasn't sleeping well even though I was taking this supposed miracle medicine called melatonin that's supposed to make you sleep super soundly... Still woke up. I was having some anxiety issues... Especially when it came to tracting... Like.. on the verge of tears sometimes.. But this week has been amazing! I had a phone call with President on Tuesday or something... That was really helpful. I'm not in trouble and I'm not coming home! haha I just need some help working through that. And I started praying really really hard that I wouldn't be anxious anymore because I wanted to be here and that I wanted to be able to work to the best of my abilities.. The next day... No anxiety.. Whatsoever. It's a miracle! Heavenly Father is so dang good to me. And then the other day.. I actually kind of enjoyed tracting.. What?! And so we always leave pass-a-long cards at every door if they don't answer saying like "Come to church!" with the church address and time.... SOMEONE CAME TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY BECAUSE OF OUR PASS-A-LONG CARD!!! That has never ever ever happened! Miracles everywhere!

Also, it was stake conference this weekend, so Saturday it was at the Hendricks building... Oh my gosh that area is freaking GORGEOUS. I want to serve there so so so so bad. It's all these amazing old homes! Look it up! But stake conference went... a half hour over... So it was from 7 to 9:30.. It was ridiculous. But Sunday was amazing! It was a broadcast through all the stakes in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Elder Gay and Kopischke from the 70, Sis McConkie from the general YW presidency and Elder Nelson spoke! It was fantastic! And our investigators were there and all the talks were exactly what they needed to hear and they were crying the whole time and it was just great. MIRACLE AGAIN!

This week I have seriously grown to love the Book of Mormon... Even more. I can't get enough... Most the time I study that for my entire personal study and nothing else. I've been in 2 Nephi and then Jacob, Omni whatever.. Then I just finished Mosiah! I love it so much! I have never learned so much from it in my entire life! I can't get enough! It seriously relates so much to our time now. I can't even begin to tell you how much it can relate to us personally. I love it so much. Read it. Every day. I'm telling you. It helps so much.

But other things that have been going on... We're still getting fed quite a bit. We got to go to the Cummer museum on Tuesday with the Relief society and it was awesome. I've been sick the past few days with this crappy cold... Because it's been SO cold here.. The other day, right before I got sick. It was 40 degrees with wind and humidity... It was freezing.. and I obviously don't have winter clothes. All the locals are freaking out about how cold this winter has been and they've never experienced a winter like this here... Of course that happens to me. And there's supposed to be another cold front coming through on Thursday?

But this week has been so much better! Next week I'll have been in Florida for a month! Weeeiiirrrrdddddddd. But I seriously love this gospel so much! I love being a missionary! Even though I get discouraged sometimes. I know that I'm supposed to be here and There's someone who needs me! I love this gospel with all my heart! I love you guys!!!

Love,
Sister Bradford
