Hello!
So this week
was a bit crazy! I’m going to make it brief. I have no time! But the whole
week has been a bit slow....we traveled up to London to pick up my new
comp straight out of the MTC. So I’m training again as you know and it’s been
great! This kid Elder Sparks is a stud! He wants to work hard and not
be awkward! So this is great! We just handed the keys over to the Bidiford
missionaries that stole our car. It was a sad moment. Haha but I’ll be losing
weight soon I hope! Ha!
Teaching wise…We
haven’t been able to teach many people sadly. The only days that are successful
really are Sunday evenings. We visit these people in this tiny village called
Mawgan. We visit Ben & Len, the son and father, and this couple named Judee
& Mark. We taught all of them The plan of salvation yesterday! I think it
was my first time teaching the POS! It went well! They really felt the spirit.
I did as well of course! So Judee’s lesson went well, and after judee we went
to Ben and Len’s house. Ben answered the door and he was having a hang over. Haha
but he invited us in! He was the only one home at that moment, so we just sat
in his back garden and started chattin about stuff. Then it started raining so
we went inside to his living room, and the TV was on and guess what was on???
THE OLYMPICS BABY!! USA VS SPAIN WITH 6 MINUTES LEFT!!!! So you know
me... I had to see this... and ben was the one that said, "oh lets watch
this really fast!!" so I was like heck yes we are! So we watched it and
the U.S. won of course! It was so great! I felt super homesick afterwards. Haha
but its aight! I got to see at least one event in the whole Olympics for crying
out loud!! Haha and it so happened to be Basketball…my favorite!! So after we
watched it we started talking about the gospel and book of Mormon. Ben hasn’t
read anything yet cause he’s been "busy" but he will he said. Then we
starting talking about the plan of salvation, he was amazed on what we had to
say! I had these little circle things to explain the POS better. I like visual
lessons, so that helped out! Half way through the lesson Len walked in and he
sat down and we kinda started over and they both were just shocked and really
interested! They had a lot of good questions and a lot of weird and off subject
questions. Haha but we managed! ;) When we closed with a word of prayer we
started walking out, and I walked outside with Ben and Sparks was way behind
me, and Len and sparks starting talking again while I was talking to Ben
walking out side, and sparks told me afterwards what Len said to him, and Len
told sparks how wonderful we are and how loving we are the them and they really
appreciate how much we come over and teach and show love for them and try and
strengthen their faith, he went on and started talking about his wife, and how
she has kidney stones or something..And sparks!! He said " Len remember
that priesthood power we were talking about earlier?" Len said yes and
sparks went on saying how we could give her a priesthood blessing and according
to their faith all things are possible!! And he asked if she would like a
blessing and Len said, "Yes, would you give her a blessing? And I would
love one too because I have M.S." so we are going to give them a blessing
next time because the wife wasn't home. But isn’t this so awesome!! Wow I’ve
trained Elder sparks so well already! ;) Hahah jk. It was all sparks himself!! Haha
it was wonderful!!
Then I got
talking to Ben and he plays basketball he said, and I invited him to come play
ball today and he said he would come!! And we have one other non-member comin!!
Its gonna be so fun!!! Ill be dunkin it yo!!
Anyways I
love all of you so much! And I hope all is well! Thank you for all of your
birthday wishes to me! Love it all!! You are all the BEST!!
Cheers mates!
