The Week We Ate Goat


Hey hey hey everybody on this fine Floridian day! My email started working again so I am emailing off of my tablet now.

Well, this week was pretty much not too eventful but I will explain what occurred.
Florida has been heating up lately and Saturday was 92 degrees.  Elder Meacham's bike spokes broke so we did a lot of walking.

We met with some recent convert boys and shared a message about how they can feel the spirit.  Their father, Brother Kinney, had lots of struggles with work but he felt the spirit tell him how to get through the problem.

We ate some Olive Garden with an eternal investigator.  He, Tom, is extremely knowledgeable so every time meet with him and he spouts tons of information to us.  He does not believe in the trinity, agrees with exaltation, and a lot of other beliefs that the church has.

On Saturday we walked about four miles to get to a member's house for a dinner appointment.  They are the Morse family and they made us some goat meat.  Goat meat is good and quite chewy but still enjoyable.  Brother Morse went to the Ft Lauderdale mission and met Sister Morse there.  They got married soon after his mission.

Church was great as always.  Tom came to church and expounded a lot of information during Gospel principles.  We have an assistant ward mission leader which should help as the ward mission leader is quite busy.

Overall, everything is looking great.  There is lots of blue skies and soon the new missionaries will learn that cold water is worth more than gold when the summer comes.  It does not seem that hot this year compared to last year.  My blood has thinned out way too much so anything under 70 degrees is chilly.

The Lakeland Zone will be having a zone activity day at Circle B today. Circle B is a nature preserve with a bunch of gators.  I'll hopefully be able to email you again at 2:00 p.m. your time and have some pictures of some Alligator Mississippiensis (American Alligators).

Love you all,

Elder Fabricius
