It took a hurricane….

The Florida Fort Lauderdale mission was poised to have it’s second month of 100 plus baptisms when Isaac came roaring up from the South. Due to the possibility that it would have great impact on the area, two stakes cancelled all of their Sunday meetings and the others all had only one sacrament meeting in the morning. Therefore a large number baptisms had to be shifted to next week.

But even with all of this 27 great people entered into the waters of baptism during the week and brought the total for the mission for the month to 94! This shows that while Issac kept these above average missionaries from reaching the mission goal, they still had a great month!

We were at the office this morning when we got a call from Sister Anderson. She said that she hoped we were at home and not at the office. Because of the forecast of high winds and lots of rain, President Anderson wanted all missionaries – including the couples – to stay at home all day. So we did a few things – including calling other couples – and came home.
