THIS MONTH IS ALMOST OVER!! #25

September 28, 2014 #25   THIS MONTH IS ALMOST OVER

  WOW‼ This month is almost over and where did it go?  We are  almost in to our 6^th month but who is  counting.. We have made some good friends here had some fantastic experiences with the YSA  people, we have been able to  love these young adults which has been pretty neat.

  Just a few highlights for this week:              

Elder Judd worked at the Bull Market with the Elders and Sisters Wednesday. The Sisters came up with a great idea of showing pictures of the famous people, that are members of the church, that these young students would know.  It was quite successful  too , well the tootsie roll helped bring them to the table too.  This day is a feast day for the missionary work to  go forth.  From this 4 hour exposure the elders and sisters have a lot of referrals to work on throughout the week, It is exciting for them and for us to see missionary work in action.

During this time I worked on the dinner for Thursday making Feathery Fudge Cake and a new recipe of chocolate chip cookies.  Yeah both turned out  great‼ 

Thursday I had a dentist appointment clear across town and it was early---too early but I made it and now I am the proud owner of a new crown.  This dentist reminds me of my childhood dentist –Dr. Jesse Jensen- who was wonderful, kind and good.   I made it back only to start making 4 batches of taco casserole.  Elder Judd became the tester he added so much taco seasoning to it I knew I would not be able to eat it but he loved every bite full.  I did not even try it because it smelled so spicy.  And yet the students ate it all.   They said it was a success.

Saturday we went to the Orlando Temple with about 35 YSA. This was the largest group in a long time.  It was such a good experience.  We were able to take 1 recently baptized young man.  He was quite excited to see the inside of the temple. One of the questions he asked us was will I see Jesus. We explained to him that His spirit would be felt and he would recognize it. He brought 1 name to be baptized but did not have all the information to complete the slip so Sister French (bishop’s counselor’s wife) is going to help him start getting the correct info to get him going.  He is excited‼

Sunday Elder Judd baptized Andrew Allen today. It is a  great day for both of them.  Andrew has such a sweet and very sincere testimony.
