<span style="color: white;">Wow Christmas is such a joyful time of the year. Our preparation day is today because Christmas is monday! New Years is next monday so I am not sure yet when our next preparation day will be! This week has been so fun. I really love my new companion. Sister Morrow is so tallented and funny. :D We have incredible adventures. Last night we were out and about and we found this house that had rented a radio station and the lights went along with the music! I have never seen it before! One of our christmas dinners is with our bishop! He is making Shrimp Creole! Wow, That is not something I have ever heard of but I am so excited! We are truly seeing so many miracles in our area. :D I am so grateful to be a missionary out here. :) I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY. Today I got to see my sweet companions, Sister Prue and Sister Esquerra! Such a tender Mercy. I am so grateful to be serving in the same zone as them! They are such wonderful emmbasarries of our Savior Jesus Christ. We are all becoming the people that Heavenly Father wants us to be and It is such a special thing to step back and see how the people you love have grown! I am so proud of them! I love them. Take some time in the days coming to pray to see the strengths and growths of those around you and tell them how proud you are of them! What a wonderful way to Light The World!</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">It has been so cold this week! I have enjoyed the sweater weather. We had transfer calls! I will be staying in MacClenny and my new companion will be Sister Doxy! She was my STL this transfer and it will be her last 6 weeks as a fulltime missionary for the church! I am so excited to spend this special time with her! Fun fact, Sister Doxy trained my current companion Sister Equerra! I am so grateful to have another transfer here in MacClenny. There are many wonderful things to come! </span></div>

<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: white;">Here are some miracles from our week.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">Monday-We didnt get eaten but gators at Okiefenokee. And I also finished Jesus the Christ. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: white;">Tuesday- We had an incredible district service opportunity to help another church with a food drive thing. We also had a dinner and lesson with the part member family we found last week!!! It was wonderful. Also, the kinders from my last ward came to MacClenny for institute-tender mercies</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: white;">Wednesday- We sang to some members of our ward in the nursing home! It was so wonderful! The Grays come to Mutual! We had to split. I went with the boys and the combined activity, they watched the musical artist devotion fo rthe youth. IT WAS SO GOOD. Sister Equerra went with sandy to scripture class. Afterwards we got their jumpsuits all picked out for the baptism!!!</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: white;">thursday- We got into 3 different houses and found a new investigator! One was the other (less active) Gray family. We invited them to their cousins baptism!</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: white;">Friday- During daily planning a former called us on accident but was really happy she did. We later went out and had a lesson with her, her fiance and her daughter! It was a real miracle. tomorrow they are feeding us and having another lesson!</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: white;">Saturday was the Grays Baptism! There were so many people there that we had to move to the chapel! It was the best. The spirit was so strong as Brother Gray was able to baptize his family! Sister Esquerra and I both gave talks! That night we were knocking around a less active and found a former named Che'ron. She was really distracted so we had a very brief lesson and invited her to church.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: white;">Sunday- I gave a talk! during sacrament Che'ron come in WITH HER 2 GRANDCHILDREN AND ONE OF HER DAUGHTERS! It was crazy. We ended up having 6 investigators in church! We set a (stretching) goal of 2. It was incredible. They Grays confirmation was really beautiful. Later we had a lesson with a part member family. The mom Guadalupe, is catholic. We set up a church swap with her! Sunday night we are going to Mass and she is coming with her family to church on sunday!! I am so excited. We are really hoping to get to know her and help her feel loved.</span><br />

<span style="color: white;">What a wonderfull week! It has truly been miracle filled! We had our trade offs with the Sister training leaders this week! It was fun. I went to Callahan with Sister Doxy! I learned so much from her, especially about online prosyliting. We had interviews with President Lee as well! The Gray family had their baptismal interview! They are so prepared. Also, Brother Gray got ordained to the office of Priest and will be able to baptize his family! We found a new investigator who REALLY wants to get baptized. Her husband is a member and they want to be able to be sealed in the temple! Today we are going to Georgia to a place called Okiefenokie ( i honestly have no clue how to spell it ) to see a swamp with lots of gators! Pictures will certainly come next week!</span><br />

<span style="color: white;">Hey Y'all! Wow, we are so blessed in the FJM. As a mission this week we have been preparing for Hurricane Irma. We feel very prepared. Missionaries have been evacuated where needed. Sister Prue and I are hosting Sister McConnell and Sister Allgaier who were serving in the St. Augustine Shores area. The four of us have had a great day of preparation together. Each night for the past week (And for the forseable futrue) we have established a line of communication and are having nightly calls as a mission to recieve updates on the storm and information on how we need to be preparing. I am so grateful to be able to hear from our mission president,President Lee each night. I truly know that he is inspired. He is working closely with the area 70 and the stakes presidents in the area. We are all doing well. Our preparation day has been moved to today before the hurricane. We will likely not email until the 18th of September, our next preparation day.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">For anyone wanting to recieve updates on our mission and the hurricane. check out our mission blog. Sister Lee is updating it daily.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">I want Y'all to know that we are truly seeing miracles here! This week we found Less active part member family who was so prepared to recieve the gospel! We were able to share a lesson with them and set a return appointment for next week after the hurricane! People are truly being prepared and hearts are beign softened. Today we had a tender experience. One of the children in our ward has recently turned 8 and his baptism was scheduled for sunday. However, all meetings have been cancelled sunday. Wyatt did not want to wait to get baptized so the ward arranged to have his baptism done today. It was so beautiful to see another person enter the waters of baptism. Wyatt is an example to us all. I know that as we place our covenants as our highest priority that we will be blessed. We will be protected. The Holy Spirit of Promis will testify of our faithfulness to the Father at the last day. I am grateful for the time that I have to be able to serve the Lord. I know that This is such a special work. I Love being a Missionary and I love all these wonderful experiences we have. The FJM Is truly a place that we are learning and growing and striving to be like our Savior. Could we be more blessed?</span><br />

Yes, Our mission is now a Facebook Mission! On top of that we also will be receiving smart phones in the coming weeks! Our mission has frequently had the opportunity to pilot new things for the church (New missionary Schedule, Tablets, ext.) before other missions were able to receive these tools. It is such a special trust from our church leaders and from the Lord. We will be using our personal Facebook, However, we will not be able to talk or chat with people from home or otherwise communicate outside of emailing on Preparation Day and Skyping home at Mothers Day and Christmas. It is specifically for proselyting. I am so grateful for all of y'alls support and understanding. </span><br />

<span style="color: white;">This week has been so bittersweet. It was hard saying goodbye to everyone I have grown to love so dearly in Middleburg. However, I am so grateful to be here in MacClenny. There are so many wonderful people here. It is a pretty big little town. It is the most populated place I have served so far. With that said, i am certainly still in the country. I love it here. My companion Sister Esquerra is so sweet! I will tell more about here when there is time. She is from Arizona! We are seeing so many miracles! We are teaching an incredible family and were able to set a baptismal date with them for the 21st of October! the husband is a member, But his wife and 3 children are SO EXCITED to be able to get baptized! This is truly a beautiful gospel!</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Yeah we have power! Everything is good. We have returned to our normal procelyting schedule. We are doing lots of service mucking houses and steering out drywall from flooded houses. Two members of our ward got flooded and we have helped a lot of people in their area. There have been people from the Carolinas and Georgia wards assigned to come out. The Mormon Helping Hands have truly done so much good. The sacrifices of members in the nearer states have been so incredible. The church stepped in and sent lots of supplies. It has brought about many mighty miracles.i am getting transferred to MacClenney! I am so excited. I Wil miss it here but I am excited for a new adventure. When President Lee was reading over our conference call ".. Serving in the MacClenney Ward..." I just knew I would go. After he said "Sister Esquerra will be serving with Sister Spangler" the spirit truly testified to me that it was wee I should be going. I feel so blessed!</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">Autym was baptized on saturday and confirmed in church sunday. It was such a special weekend! Autym was so nervous to be infront of everyone when she was baptized so we stood at the steps of the font with her. When she came out of the water we got to give her the biggest hug. She was beaming. I was so grateful to be with her on this special day. On sunday we went with Autym and her sisters to Their sudnay school and Young Womens. It was so fun! I am jealous she is able to go to all her years of young women! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: white;">Monday we had our zone conference. There were two general authorities in attendance, Elder Brent Neilsen (the director of missionary work) and the newly called Seventy, Elder Goodoy. It was such a spirit filled experience. I received so much revelation about the gospel and just how much it truly does bless families and individuals lives. I am so grateful to be part of this work</span></div>

My new companion is Sister Prue! She was serving close by in our district and I really admire her. She has been out 7 and a half months. She is so uplifting and great at giving advice and correction. I AM GOING TO LEARN SO MUCH FROM HER. I really admire her so much.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I LOVE SCRIPTURES. This week I studied Ezekiel 47. SO good. I MISS THE TEMPLE SO BAD.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
There are such amazing things going on in this area. We updated our three month rolling plan. We feel like by the end of the transfer we could have as many as 4 baptisms! There are also quite a few that we see that could happen in October or November. When I got here we were not teaching many progressing investigators in our area... Not it is truly an example to our district</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
We actually saw a huge miracle in our area this week. When we were getting gas this week we were, you know, just casually talking to everyone. There was a young couple. My age maybe. And I talked to them and asked if they wanted a free bible-and they did! They asked what church we were from and I told them. I asked if they knew any Mormons.... the boy said his grandma was Dee Huggins! NO WAY!! I WAS SO FLOORED THEIR FAMILY IS SO PREPARED. He asked if he could have a book of Mormon too. I gave him one. We got his address and number. His mother is the one who is not a member that reffered herself to Salt Lake because of the influence sister Huggins had on her. It was such a miracle. There are so many in that family who are ready. Sister Huggins is preparing them.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Another Miracle came from roleplaying. We decided to roleplay searching the teaching records one day. We scrolled through area book to find a random person and make a lesson report for them based off all their information before they were dropped. When we did this we actually found a lost sheep! She was in as a gator but in her notes it said her and 3 of her children had actually been baptized in OP! WHAT.. On top of that we were in their area later on that very day! We stopped by and met them. She let us in to teach her... GUESS WHAT?! SHE HAS AT LEAST 2 CHILDREN WHO ARE OLD ENOUGH NOW TO BE BAPTIZED! We are not sure if she was ever confirmed. It is so confusing but she doesn't seem to be on any records here or in Orange park. I am not sure what to do to find her. They may potentially need to be rebaptized if they never received the holy ghost though... It was so long ago that they were baptized. They hardly remember it. Mostly they just know they have a book of Mormon and a restoration video. It was such a tender miracle.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Since transfers we found 6 new Investigators in the last 3 days. And of our investigators came to church. We are far too blessed to be stressed. We had 5 investigators come to church. It was so great. We got to go to primary with one of them! Two of our investigators came with their families. One of the families is less active! It was so great to see them bring their grandson to church!</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1280250139" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> night we were out working and saw a guy pull into his house. we really felt like we should talk to him. IT WAS SO INSPIRED. We were able to teach the restoration and he accepted the invitation to be baptized. We will have another lesson with him this week. Heavenly Father has truly blessed us with so many opportunities to find people who are searching for truth.</div>

<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">This week Jordan was baptized and confirmed a member of the church! I am so grateful to have been able to be part of Jordan baptism saturday. He had asked me to give the talk on baptism. Wow. He has grown so much. I am so full of joy for him - I am so proud of him. It is such an incredible feeling to have been able to teach someone and see them through to baptism. It is such a wonderful experience. I remember when I was taking the lessons and I wonder if the Missionaries saw such a profound change in me in that short time. It is my most sincere desire that he will never forget how he felt after his baptism. He and his family mean so much to me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">We had our first lesson this week with another part member family! Brother Kinder is so prepared. You can just see the spirit beam in him as we talk. He truly understands that After Baptism he will be able to be sealed to his wife. He is so in love with her and he truly has the desire to begin making covenants with God. It is truly incredible. Most of the ward doesnt realize he isnt a member. The bishop always says he is more active than most of the Elders Qurum and he is also already an active home teacher for an older woman in the ward. He always make sure she rides with them to church. When her temple reccomend expired he notified the Bishop. I am always so humbled by Mike Kinder. He is truly so Christlike. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Sister Goeller is being transfered a bit early to Flemming Island to serve with Sister Ganir. Sister Prue will come from there to be my new companion until the end of the transfer! I am really going to miss sister Goeller. I have learned so much from her. I do really love Sister Prue and I know it will be a great week or so! I know that there is so very much I will be able to learn from her. We have served around eachother the past two transfers and I am excited to be her companion! I have no idea what will happen at transfers. I know that Whatever happens it will be inspired and It will be so great!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">I love being a missionary so much. It is such a blessing to be able to serve the Lord, my Mission President and my Companions. I have learned so much about myself and my savior. Thank you all for all the support you have given me!</span></div>

Life is so good. I am so grateful for the faithful saints who acted in faith and made it possible to live and enjoy this gospel. We are way to blessed to be stressed.</div>

Sister Goeller and I have been really busy with lessons! Bill and Nita are doing so great. Jordan is SO CLOSE to being ready for his baptism on the 29th! We only have a handfull of lessons left! He is really excited. It has been really beautiful to see the changes in Jordan since we started teaching him. I know that he feels the spirit and that Heavenly Father is helping him to be prepared to make and keep his covenants! I am so proud of him. I know that his family is very excited because he is the last child to be baptized in his family! Since the Living Christ Fireside the ward has been really excited about missionary work. Everyone is wanting to know who we are teaching more closely and they are wanting to find ways they can participate in the work. Member Missionary work is so invauluable. We could never do the work we are called to do without members to help the people we teach learn and grow and feel comfortable in ways we just cant. Love y'all so much! Pictures will come in a bit!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">What an incredible week! We have seen miracles in Middleburg. This week we had several opportunities to bike. I LOVE BIKING. It is such a good feeling. A few times we got rained on but it was still so nice. I really feel like the more we bike here we will see wonderful opportunities open up to us!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">We have been teaching an unbaptized youth named Jordan. He is really hyperactive. Sister Harris and I have gotten inventive with ways to keep his attention. Having technology available to use has been such a blessing. He is retaining much better than anticipated and we were able to set a baptismal date with him for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1827794923" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">July 29</span></span>! His brother is 8 and getting baptized this week so he is the last of all his siblings to enter the waters of baptism. It is such a special thing to be a part of.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Wednesday was so great. We had the opportunity to have interviews. I love visiting with President Lee. Often, I wish I had longer. It honestly surprises me how often we get to see him. It is comforting knowing He and sister Lee are never far away. I love them with my whole heart and maybe even a bit more. This week I gave a training at district meeting and it went really well! There were some really powerful be still moments. Because of that I know that we were able to really invite the spirit and we all edified each other so much! there was also another really great experience that we had! We felt like we should go to a less active members house. We have tried a few times to get in but they are not very interested. THAT DAY WAS DIFFERENT THOUGH!!! She opened the door almost frantic and explained there was a spider in her house and that she had been praying for someone to come and help her kill it because she is so afraid of them. On top of that she has twins so her hands were incredibly full. I very courageously volunteered my very brave companion, Sister Harris to kill the spider for her! She was SO grateful. So was I because I am so scared of spiders too (and it was really big)! We were able to stay and do some service for her. It was such a blessing to be able to go about doing good. It was really a special thing because neither of us knew why we were going and we really didn't want to. I am grateful Sister Harris is so in tune with the spirit.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Thursday we saw another wonderful miracle!! We went back to try a part member family. It turns out that the husband, who is less active, is a perspective elder! We were able to discern that in the conversation and invited him to advance in the priesthood! We are excited to go back and start helping him work toward that goal!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Friday was our wards Founders Day event! We were able to use the family history booth. The booth is so incredible. Other missionaries from our district came to help as well. It was a really valuable learning experience and I am so excited to utilize it in the future.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Saturday marked 2 Years since my baptism!! Wow. That is really so surreal. Sister Harris had some Paper ribbon and she surprised me in the morning. it was so tender. I was grateful for the simple celebration. We were able to attend the stake conference. I really enjoyed it so much. I really loved it. Sister Lee had us take a picture to celebrate; It is cute! I am so grateful to be here at this point in my life: Serving int he Florida Jacksonville Mission under President Brent I. Lee. I am so blessed. I feel as though I am so undeserving of the richness that I have in my life but I am also so very grateful. I am surrounded by such amazing new friends and family. Especially, my companion, my district and Y 'all. Thank you so much for helping me along the way. It really does mean so much to me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">In closing, I have learned so much this transfer. Honestly, I cannot really believe that I am in my last week of training. Time is truly flying. I am grateful to feel like I am really becoming the Missionary and the Woman that my Heavenly Father is waiting for me to become. Again, Thank Y'all for being part of that!</span></div>

We biked one day and it started raining while we were out! It felt so good!! I love all the rain we have been getting. We also found an entire apartment complex we have never known about before. While we were there we met a really nice man named Josh! We taught him the restoration in the rain and it was incredible! He really wants to learn more so we will go back by this week! We also had a less active reach out to us! She has been really concerned about us and calls to check to see if we have all we need or if she can help us in any way. It is really a miracle because she hasn't had any contact with the ward in a while. Yesterday she called and told us about a nice little park close by so we could have something fun to do that didn't cost money on our preparation day. It was so sweet! In church we had 3 Less active members we are working with come to church as well as 2 investigators! This week has been so blessed. the members here are incredible and i love serving in Middleburg!</span><br />

Sister Harris and I have seen so many miracles this week! We found 3 New Investigators and we also had 3 Investigators show up to church! We also fed a huge turtle named Toby! We have not only had powerful lessons and really fun days, but we have learned so much from each other. I really admire sister Harris. She is a spiritual giant. We have had a great week and i know it is only because of our willingness to follow the spirit. Heavenly Father has blessed us with so many prompting. As we have followed them we have been able to really feel his love for us. It is incredible how constantly we feel guided by His loving hand. <3 hope yall have a great week. Be blessed now! </span><br />

Sister Harris is my companion and we are so simillar. She is really sweet. Middleburg is a really pretty area. I enjoy the people. My new district is really fun! It stormed really hard today after we washed our cars. It was kind of sad but it was fun to feel like we were playing in the rain some! :D It got really stormy though while we were in the chapel. </span><br />

It is really pretty. Sister Killpack and Sister Perry came with us and the gouleys. I LOVE THE GOURLEYS. I miss them a lot. it was such a good day.</div>

We had district meeting. one of the elders gave a really good training. It was from a talk given by President Monson in 1972 called "Finishers Wanted" Y'all should give it a listen some time. There was a mothers day dinner. LEO AND HER FAMILY CAME! IT was so nice to say goodbye to them! I love them so much. </div>

I got to se Sister Studdert!!! She is doing so great. I got to meet Sister Harris there. We clicked so fast. Saying goodbye was hard but it was really exciting too. I am looking forward to my new area.</div>

Yesterday we had an investigator named Michael come to church. It was so amazing! It is a joy to get to see people progress in the gospel. I really love the people and the work here. Sweet is the work. I wouldn't trade it for the world. We have a lot of work to do here and the ward is so enthusiastic and ready to help. We have members come out with us almost every day! The ward is such a blessing to us. I will try to send pictures next week because there are so many! </div>
<div>
I hope y'all have a blessed week. :D</div>
