Dear Family!!!!

            This week I will have my exit interview with president! I am excited and not. It’s sad that it will be my last one. I really love him and Sister Richardson so much!!! It’s going to be an interview filled with different emotions but it will be good!!

            This week was a great week!! It’s been raining like no other which has been good. Has been a nice break from the sun!  This week Jasmine came to church! It was so amazing! We hadn't been able to see her all week because she was in Orlando but she came to church and loved it! After church, we scheduled to come over later that night. Well when we got there, it turns out her family was having a Sunday night football party. So she invited us in and fed us a bunch! Her food is soo good! We were able to talk a little bit about baptism with her but she said she didn't feel ready yet. We were bummed but it was also super crazy so we are going to continue to work with her and talk about baptism with her when it’s a more spiritual setting. She is amazing and I love her!! She will get baptized! It won’t be when I am here but she will and that's all that matters! :)

            We were also able to find Jackie this week! She is so elect! We said a prayer with her and she accepted baptism right away!! She felt the spirit so strong! We are going to go see her tomorrow! She is so cute! I am excited to continue to teach her!! :)

 Me and Sister Moise are doing great!! I love Hialeah so much!!! The ward is being funny and has a countdown for me and every week they ask "Are you trunky yet?"  I could not have asked for a better area and ward to end in! I love the people so much!!!! They just make me so happy!! :)

            The women’s conference was amazing!!!!!! I loved the quote "There are two important moments in a girl’s life, when she is born and when she finds out why." So good!!! Elder Uchdorf’s talk was amazing! It was an answer to my prayers! It taught me how to be happy in very moment and to be like that pioneer girl in the picture! So skip happily! Always see the bright side of things! :) I am so excited for conference!!!! Best way to end! I have never been so excited before. My spirit is in need of spiritual food hahaha 

            I love you all so much!!1 I miss you all so much!!

            Love, Sister Heacock

Family!!

            This week we had Stake Conference and we got the privilege of being able to see and listen to Elder Suarez from the Quorum of the Seventy! He and Elder Thompson came to create a new stake!! It was crazy! It was so amazing to see that south Florida is growing to so much! They change the boundaries due to the new stake so our zone changed a bit. But, lucky for me I am still in the same zone! We went to the adult session and it was super good. Elder Suarez is amazing!!! He came and talked to me and Sister Moise! He is so powerful and down to earth, I love him! The adult session was all about having family councils and the importance of them. All about families! I feel like the more I get closer to the end of my mission that's all I hear about!!! I may have done an eye role but it was still really good and I learned a lot!!

 I got to see Brother and Sister Riggin!!!!! That was the best!!!!!!!! I miss them so much!! We sat with them and caught up on everything! Sister Riggin was so happy that she got to hug me she rubbed it in to Brother Riggin because he was mad he couldn’t hug me hahah. They really want to meet up with us again when I am back home! Stake conference was really good! It was packed. It was all about keeping the Sabbath day holy! The First Presidency is really making a big push for this! All about "how will you remember him?" It was super powerful and I loved it!

Already getting pumpkins to decorate

            This week we had a big miracle. The elders gave us a referral for a lady named Jasmine. We called her that same day and she invited us right over. Her uncle is a member from Honduras and has such an amazing testimony and love for the gospel! She is amazing!! She fed us balliatas and then we taught the restoration. It was really powerful!! She wants to be baptized and has a date for October 10th! She is reading the Book of Mormon. We are so excited to continue to teach her!! It was a great miracle!! Because we have been in a rut lately but God is good!! :)))

            This week I was reading the talk Ask in Faith by Elder Bednar! Its super good!! I have been working on my prayers and improving them and this really helped! Read it when you get the chance!! Super powerful!

   I love you all soo much!! Miss you!!!! Have a great week!!!!!!!! :))) xoxox

Family!

            I am feeling much better and am back to working hard. I can’t stay in to long because I go crazy! It’s funny how the mission changes you a lot more than you think. I now always have to be doing something. I can’t just sit. When I have free time it freaks me out because I am like I know I can be doing something!

            This week we haven't been able to see Jose this week. He has been in the hospital a lot because he suffers from depression. We have been praying for him and hopefully this week we can see him! He has such a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon! It’s amazing!!

Cool treehouse

            This week we got a referral from Utah for a man named Alexandro. He requested a Book of Mormon. So we went to give it to him and he is so cool! He is an 80 year old man who loves music!! He has so many records and cds it’s not even funny! He loves Elvis. HA which is so funny because he is Cuban and doesn't speak any English so I don't think he can even understand the lyrics. But he loves it just the same. He is a mason and wants to learn more about our church. We taught the restoration to him and he loved it! He loves the Book of Mormon as well. We are excited to continue to work with him!

            This week has just been a finding week!! Lots of knocking. It’s been lots of ups and downs but that's mission life :) Our plan this week is to really work with the members and help them start bringing friends to church and family home evenings. Members play such a big role in missionary work! I never realized that. Before my mission I went out with the missionaries some but I did it not super willingly and I could have been better at inviting friends to church and sharing the gospel. That’s my goal when I get back is to be the best member possible and help out with the missionary efforts better! Excited to apply what I have learned!

            This week I was reading in Luke 12:29-34 and I love how at the end of verse 29 it says to not have a doubtful mind and that Heavenly Father will provide. In the mission, I have lots of ups and downs. It’s so important to not have a doubtful mind because that lets Satan win. It applies for all aspects of life. When we start to doubt we start to lose trust in Heavenly Father that he will provide. We need to do as Jeffery R Holland said. We need to just believe! It was really motivating for me! My motto I came up with is “trials are just unplanned adventures”. We just need to continue to trust and never doubt!!! :) Always stay positive and happy! :)

  Thanks so much for all you love and support!! I miss all of you tons!!! :))) I hope you guys have an amazing safe week!! :)
