Redhill Town Center
Hiya!!
So this week was SWEET!! We just started a new transfer, I
said goodbye to my German companion and the German was replaced with the Elder
Michael Jarman! My boy from B-Town! We hung out quite a bit back at home; we
went to Jr. High and high school with each other and chilled quite a bit with
lots of other friends. It’s really weird to be honest... we talk a whole lot
about home... haha so I think we both are a bit trunky sometimes.. Not bad
enough to not work, not even close, but things are just coming back to our
minds about worldly things... but we are for sure workin hard!
So we started working with each other on Wednesday evening,
and BAM! The first B-Town Comps pulled a miracle! We were knocking around 6:30
pm and the second door we knocked was an Indian family. They noticed that we
were awesome cause were from bountiful, so they of course invited us in. we
were expecting them to be Muslim like all the rest of the Indians around London...
but they were fortunately Christian!! It was sweet! We taught them about
families and also the restoration. Our first teach together was pretty good! We
committed the family to read and pray for themselves about the Book of Mormon
and the restoration to know the truthfulness of what we taught, they were
pretty receptive and accepted the invitation!
After that evening we have found LOADS of new people to
teach! It’s so crazy! It’s like God just flipped a switch and we are finding
all of these people that are humble and willing to listen! It’s so great! Elder
Jarman is an awesome missionary, I learn so much from him. We get along so
well, and we actually laugh a lot! Which really makes me feel good.
Throughout the rest of the week we just have been finding
miracles right and left, we found 4 solid potentials and 1 new investigator in
a 10 flat building. It was insane! The investigator we found in that building
was a total miracle; it was probably the first legitimate miracle I’ve seen on
my mission. Long story short, (I’ve got no time)
We knocked on Flat #5, we heard a voice say "NOT
INTERESTED, go away". so we started walking away slowly... we heard the
door of #5 open, and it was this lady that I just might say that she really
needed the Gospel in her life. We turned around and just introduced ourselves.
She all of the sudden said "would you like to come in?"... I was like
what?
So we went in and got to know her, her flat was a disaster...
she had a crazy dog that was all over me and would not leave me alone! But somehow
we taught her a few principles that were relevant to her. OH her name is
Christine. We found out that she was an alcoholic... not only because she told
us... but it was obvious that she was... and we taught her about the Atonement,
the spirit was very strong, and she wanted to learn more. We gave her a Book of
Mormon, and she felt so bad for taking it without paying us... haha but the
lesson was awesome, a bit scattered, but it still was good. Right after we said
the closing prayer, Christine started talking to me and telling ME how great I
am and how she wished her son was like ME... and so on so forth... it was a
little awkward cause she was complementing me and not Elder Jarman... i felt
really bad... i just kept saying "thank you Christine.. Thank you.."
and she just continued with her complements, so I just said "Well I admire
Elder Jarman as well because he’s doing the exact same things as me and so on.."
haha then Christine was like "wait, how old are you elder Jarman, he said
"20".. Then Christine face went blank, and she was very apologetic
because she tough Jarman as 34 years old... hahaha! That’s why she was giving
him complements... it was really funny... christine new i was 20 some how...
but after her recognition she went on telling how wonderful elder Jarman was as
well. So it was a funny experience, I give elder Jarman a hard time about
looking 34 years old. Haha oh good fun.
Anyways the week was wonderful; I can’t wait for this week! To
see more miracles!!
Margret our baptismal date, is set for the 23rd for this
month!!!! But she did not come to church yesterday... which is a little problem...
we will see her tomorrow morning to see what is up!!!
I LOVE AND MISS ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!!
I’m learning a whole lot! I have many weaknesses, but weird
to say that I am grateful that I have weaknesses, because it keeps me Humble. So
true. I know if I knew a whole lot of Doctrine to prove people wrong on their
beliefs then I would prove them wrong... so i must change that... and be humble
so I can receive more knowledge;)
Cheers everyone!!
