I ran out of time ... sorry ...
On hump day [June 9th], I went through my outline from my setting apart and after each line I would write a small comment of how I've seen that blessing in my mission so far. It was a great activity - and it was the first page in my new journal! That's right! My first mission journal was exactly nine months! I hope this journal will last my remaining nine months. That would be awesome! As soon as I get some pics prepared, I'll send home a package with my old journal included. . . .
I'll write a letter to you today to make up for this short email. Sorry!
Loves! Bye!

And so . . .
On a light note, you may be experiencing triple digit temperatures, but we are beginning to experience the usual Florida summer weather with a rainstorm or thunderstorm every day. It's been fun! We typically drive through it all, but once, we went tracting in the rain because Sis. Homer really wanted to. Thankfully, my rain jacket was in the car. Sis. Homer though didn't have any protection and was wearing white. Let's just say we looked like quite a site. But it was fun.
Thursday was Zone Conference so we received last week's mail on that day. I received yours and dad's, but didn't get Al's until Saturday. Thank you for the letters. . . .
And now, my time is done. So, next week.... loves, bye!
‘Make no small plans: They have no magic to stir man’s souls.’ This is the vision I have for the South. I believe that one day the South will baptize more people into the church than all other English speaking missions in the world together. There are great hosts of marvelous Baptists, and members of the church of Christ, Methodists and Catholics who are honorable people, and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and love him. As they see their church veering off to the right or to the left of these basic teachings, they will begin to search for the truth. And as pivotal teachers come into the church and have influence, we will see the time when we baptize hundreds and thousands, tens of thousands. In your day you will see a million members of the church in the South. There will be Temples plural in the Southern States. What a great call you have to serve with these marvelous people. ~Spencer W Kimball (1974)
