This past week has been great. I did get a haircut on Wednesday. I will tell you that it is a lot better seeing short hair instead of long hair lol. Last week I had a great p-day. Why you may ask?  Because I went to the BEACH!!!!! Saw the Gulf Coast, Fished off the Pier. I will include pictures at the end of this email. 

Other than that, things have been the same. Seeing people and teaching people. This Saturday, we will be having a Baptism. His name is Evan Nagy. He is a unbaptized member so we have to teach him the 4 lessons and we will be finishing the 4 lessons early this week and then having him baptized this Saturday by his dad. Even though he isn't a gator, Its still good to have someone be baptized.

This weeks scripture is D&C 121:45.

Last night was awesome. We had a fireside about the addiction of bad things on the internet. But one of the things that made it easy to understand was that he related it to a battleship called the U.S.S Nevada. Now the U.S.S. Nevada was attacked when pearl harbor got attacked. So it had some holes in the ship. It was able to make it to a repair place and the holes were covered and it was able to go and be in many other fights.  Even though it had holes it was made whole and able to keep on fighting for so many years after. What does that have to do with this sin that is very addictive? We are all like the U.S.S. Nevada. When we get attacked from Satan, and give into that temptation, we receive the holes. We must go to the lord and ask for his help to repair the holes. Then, if we get over that addiction, and don't give into that temptation again, we will become the Strongest person to fight against enemies of God. We will be able to fight for so many years after and will always be the leader of the pack. So that is how it relates.

I hope that all of you will become as the U.S.S. Nevada.

Love yall so much,

Elder Simonson
