Hola Familia,
Well, this week we are using the snail mail instead of emailing. I’m tired of trying to find a place to email. We typically would go to the library, but I got our cards confiscated today because they found out it wasn’t our card. Orange County won’t issue library cards without a Florida ID; so as missionaries, we can’t get one. And without one, we can’t use the computers. So, we borrow cards from others. Well, I don’t like how it is dishonest, so we don’t want to do it anymore. In our area, the next closest [place] is UCF; but in all honesty, only students should use those as well. So, we are tired of being dishonest; so we will use snail mail until a better way is presented. We’ll get permission to check our email when we are at the office next, but we only have a month left. Snail mail is fine enough. Sis. Snyder and I don’t mind. However, we just learned about some mid--transfer changes. On Tuesday (Feb. 8th), we are going to have another sister join our companionship. Threesome again! Number Five!
This week is zone conference, and it will bring a lot of amazing changes to the mission. I’m a little jealous that I won’t be able to be a part of these changes. It really will be an instrument in working miracles for the Florida Orlando Mission.
Well, we just bought stamps. It’s Tuesday night. Sis. Freeman just arrived. Gotta go! Love ya lots!

‘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)
