Liberty Brew!

Wassup! Sorry I didn't write last week! We had zone pday and it was pretty busy! The past two weeks have been super good though!

First off. Last week we had zone conference where President Lee announced that we are all as a mission going to Orlando June 9th to hear President Nelson and Elder Utchdorf and their wives speak! It's gonna be such a good time! Being in the same spot as the Prophet of God! I'm super excited!

Some other sweet things that happened last week. We met Dave! His girlfriend is a member but has not come to church in a long time and wants to start coming back and Dave says he wants to come too and has shown a ton of interest! They came last week but we couldn't seem to get in contact with them this week because he's been working so much but really wants to meet with us and listen to the lessons. I'm super stoked for that!

We also met this lady named Selena at church who has been coming for a while now and Elder Bishop thought she was a member the whole time until her roommate who's a member came up to us at church and told us that she's not a member and really likes the church and is possibly thinking about joining but wants to take the lesson and see for herself! Our jaws were very much dropped after hearing that! On top of that we've been teaching this lady named Pat since I've gotten here and she expressed to us that she wants to get baptized and is now on date to be baptized on June 22nd! Miracles are raining everywhere! On top of that! That couple where the mother ran away with the baby is still crazy and she's still gone and they still have lawyers involved BUT! Tyler, the father, has been super duper humbled by it all and has turned to God like no one else I've seen and wants to come to church and has been coming now and is starting to read the Book of Mormon and wants even more to get baptized now! We are going to have to move his date back though but he's completely on board now! 

So ya these last two weeks have been very great and miracle filled and I am more excited than ever to be serving here in Interlachen! It's amazing to see the happiness that comes into people's lives when they find truth and work to get to know that truth and have it change them. That truth I know is the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. It truly is HIS gospel and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints truly is HIS church and He truly does speak to us today through HIS prophets and apostles. I feel so blessed to have that knowledge and beyond blessed to be able to share that with others and witness it change their lives. Hurrah for Israel!

I hope everyone has a fantastic week! Happy memorial day! I love you all! Keep on keepin on!

Love,
Elder Plumb

In the back of my truck in a farmer's field



Hello! These last two weeks have been really great and crazy! So far I'm loving Interlachen and my companion Elder Bishop! Both are great and interesting at the same time! We've had some great miracles and some weird and insane disasters at the same time these last two weeks.

First we got this couple on date for June 15th last week and one of them came to church! Then this last week the mother ran away with the baby and so there is a lot of drama going on and apparently, she has done it before so there's a while court case going on with them so we don't know how much longer we will be able to teach them. Please pray for them that whatever happens, they will be able to still be taught.

We are pretty much rebuilding the area because they really wasn't anything to work with when I got here but we have found some very promising people so we are hoping to have a good teaching pool going! I'm also right next to Palatka so I've seen some old friends from the Palatka ward which has been awesome!

Another cool thing that's happened is our car is in the shop! That sounds bad but it turns out to have been great! So our new car is a Chevy Silverado and it has no tiwi which is the black box in all the cars that tells us to check our speed and is super annoying. And we have unlimited miles because the truck is technically not supposed to be a mission vehicle so our vehicle coordinator said he's pulling some strings allowing us to have this truck until our car gets fixed! We've had a great time with it so far and hope our other car just never gets fixed haha!

I hope everyone has a great week! Love you! Keep on keepin on!
