Week 19: June 17-23, 2018


Happy Father’s Day Elder Faulk!  We celebrated Father’s Day with friends.  Sister Puls made a delicious pork chop dinner.  There was hardly any room for dessert!  We appreciate our fathers for their love of family and for their example of hard work.  We love and remember them and know they are not idle in paradise.
Happy Father's Day to Elder Faulk:



This week was Zone Conference time again.  President Clark read the following, “We have one more day in His service, one more day to tell His story, one more day to set a goal, one more day to help a neighbor, one more day to listen, one more day lift a burden, one more day to exercise your faith, one more day to give a gift, one more day to devote to the Lord, one more day to help save a brother, one more day to bring light to the world, one more day to bring hope to this nation, one more day to do the Father’s will. How will you choose to spend this day, this week, this transfer? This is your time to freely give to the Lord.”  
Senior Sister missionaries making lunch for Zone Conference:  Gould, Mantyla, Lorenz, Faulk, and Kroeger:



Friday night we attended the temple for ward temple night.  We did initiatory work for ancestors.  It is such a blessing to have a temple in the area and to attend it regularly!  Through temple work, prophecy is fulfilled as the heart of the fathers is turned toward the children and the heart of the children to the fathers.  We always leave the temple with refreshed, calm, peaceful feelings, and a prayer in our heart for our family. 
Elders Cachoeira and Rocha and our neighbors Diego and Stephanie learning about the Orlando temple:



Sunday evening we were blessed to have Elders Cashoiera and Rocha, and Diego and Stephanie over for dinner. We felt the Spirit that evening.

Week 111: March 22-28, 2020

Very few people were at the airport Monday evening due to COVID 19 travel precautions.   Joseph landed in Orlando as Sister Faulk’s plane was boarding and they had 5 minutes together.   Daniel picked up Sister Faulk in SLC and took her home.   It was a treat to see 2 sons on the same day.   Kim had a banana cream pie, a beautiful bouquet of dark red/purple carnations, and a welcome home balloon on the kitchen island as a thoughtful surprise.   Tuesday morning Elder Faulk and Jospeh packed up and headed for UT.   They made the drive in 3 days staying in Mississippi and New Mexico overnight.   After 2 years, Portia and Duke remembered and greeted us with wagging tails.   FL and UT are very different and quite unique places.   We are quite fond of both.   We have so much to be grateful for and recognize the hand of the Lord in our lives.   We are most thankful to have been part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints F...

Week 107: February 23-29, 2020

Sister Faulk spoke in Church on Sunday.   Her topic was the Second Great Commandment given by President Nelson during the October 2019 General Conference.   Love Thy neighbor is an endearing topic and something the world could surely use more of.   Being the mission finance officer, Elder Faulk hosted an auditor on Friday.   The Church desires financial responsibility in all its departments and missions. We welcomed another new group of missionaries and said farewell to others.   We have grown so fond of the Florida Orlando missionary flock over the past 2 years and feel many are like family.   It is heartwarming to see them learn and grow in the Gospel and develop stronger testimonies of Jesus Christ.   They really look forward to their first and last home-cooked meal at the mission home. Thank you Sister Bair for planning and making the meals tasty, and to Sister Ashcraft who makes everyone feel welcome and appreciated. Elders Marple and Cr...

Week 109: March 8-14, 2020

Sunday morning we woke up a little earlier with daylight savings time.   It is nice to commute to work in the sunshine.   Our bodies needed a few days to adjust to the new time. The world is taking precautions for COVID 19.   We received a Churchwide email that worship services will be held at home.   The church has been preparing us for home-centered gospel learning for over a year.   Temples are closed except for living ordinances.   Group gatherings are restricted. The CDC strongly advised social distancing, staying home if one is ill, respiratory hygiene, handwashing, and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.   The new normal is change, rapid change, for health promotion and disease prevention.   The Florida Orlando mission is keeping the missionaries informed and practicing the health guidelines. COVID-19: The Mantyla’s stopped by the office for a few minutes.   They served in the FOM and completed their mission abo...
