Elder Brighton Fox: The mission President thinks Im smart....Ive fooled him 2/5/2018

Hola todos!

Hope you have all been doing well! I just learned that the super bowl happened, not sure who won. but congrats to the family members who like that team. It's been a pretty strange week out in the sunshine state. Everything from HUGE technology upgrades to miraculous findings. I don't have much else things to say to try and appear comedic, so onward.

This week, for some reason, the mission president thought that I was capable of using advanced technology like smart phones, so I got to participate in a conference call with a guy from Salt Lake and am now the "technology leader" in this mission and am in charge of helping teach all of the 18-25 year Olds how to use smartphones... It's really tough. It is super nice to have them though, they are still all locked up with the safety software. So no Google, and only church approved apps, but the speakers and texting are sooooooooo much nicer. So yeah, good times, we are living in the future now.

Lisa has been doing well, she is getting super close to her baptism, and is so stoked for it! We have a member talking with her and helping her with a lot of stuff. Her name is Victoria, she is the shortest, happiest, most spiritual woman I could imagine. Quan and Stephanie are doing well, they have been reading the Book of Mormon, so that's awesome. They all got pretty sick this week though, so we weren't able to stop by.

We had to go to a ton of meetings this week because of my new calling, so we didn't really get to find people, but the one we did is miraculous to say the least. We biked about an hour out to a person someone asked us to meet, she said she wasn't interested, I wanted to not waste the bike ride, so we tried going to visit a former investigator, but we couldn't cross the road due to a ton of random traffic, so we biked up to the stop light a while up the road, and I noticed we were by another former. We went to the apartment complex, and I read the apartment as 202 instead of 203 for some reason, so we went to that door, and it was open with a young latino lady sitting and talking on her phone. We asked if Rafael lived there, she said no, so we checked again, and noticed I read it wrong. So we went to 203, knocked, no answer. Suddenly, I felt strongly we needed to go back, so I told elder Jones my plan. We went back, and I asked her if she could help us settle a bet, she looked puzzled, but said yes. I asked where she was from, she said Venezuela, and I cheered and elder Jones acted defeated. She laughed, we talked a bunch more, and she is one of, if not the most ready person for the gospel. Her family just moved here, and is going through a ton, she asked a ton of questions, and loved our answers. She was super excited to get the Book of Mormon, and has been reading it a ton. SO AWESOME!

This week was up there with the strangest week, but it was still amazing! I hope you all have had an amazing week as well. I procrastinated writing, so I have to send this pretty soon. Thank you all for everything you do! I was really reminded this week to always listen to the first prompting. When you feel like doing something, and it's good, just do it, don't ponder it. I promise it'll always go well! This gospel is such an awesome blessing, I'm so greatful for it, for what it's done for me, for my family, and for everyone I've gotten to share it with! I LOVE YOU ALL, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK!

Love,

Elder Fox
