Hello Family!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
This week went by so fast, but also really slow if I really
think about it... We started off the week by teaching a lady named Margret, I don’t
remember if I’ve mentioned her before or not, but she is a wonderful black lady
from you guessed it Nigeria. We taught her last Tuesday the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and it went really well! we read more scriptures then we usually do in a
normal lesson, and the Word of God really spoke to Margret in her heart, we
read in 2 Nephi 32 and Margret was bawling because she Knew this was true, she
said no one has ever taught her about the holy ghost before, she realized the
importance of the Holy ghost and really felt it. after crying for 10 minutes,
we all were silent for a small moment, and she was drying up her tears, and she
looked at us and said " well... are you going to ask me if I want to be
baptized?" haha we were like YEAH of course! Haha we did it in a proper
way, and she said "yes" BUT... she needs to pray for a specific date
she said..... So we are still waiting for her to tell us when she wants to be
baptized. We will commit her tomorrow for her. Cause we have been praying hard
for a good date for Margret. Towards the end of the lesson, Margret wanted to
learn more about the temple! We taught her the main bits of the temple in a
very short simple way, and we invited her to come to the temple in the next
couple days. (we live just 25 minutes from the London Temple) she was so
excited and accepted right away and said
"yes, whenever we can go I will go, nothing will get in the way of
this experience". So we did go to the temple last Thursday and it was
fantastic! The visiting center sisters took control of teaching Margret about
the temple and it was so perfect! At the visitor’s center they have a lot of
technology, so that people can look up different temples around the world, and
watch many video clips about the temple, the spirit was so strong that day. OH
when we picked up Margret she came out dressed all in White! It was so fun! We
sort of I guess didn’t make it clear to her that she needed a temple recommend
to go inside of the temple, she didn’t mind at all. She learned that we wear
all white in the temple from church last week. haha so she was prepared and
excited to go!
Challenges this week.... as you see I sent you two odd
pictures.... 1. jw'bs......... 2. The Book of Mormon Musical.......
1. We just found out that the Jehovah witnesses are now the
fastest growing church in the world at the moment... I’m so mad...
2. the Book Of Mormon musical is now being performed in
London... so people have lots of questions which are good and also can be
bad... there are buses driving all
around the place saying "the Mormons are coming" haha its pretty cool
being a missionary at this time!! I love to REPRESENT THE LORDS CHURCH BABY!! So
basically our whole mission is getting together and we are being trained on how
to handle jw'bs!! Haha and also handle anti stuff, with the Musical in town...
so it’s going to be exciting! It feels like a war! I’m so pumped! I just wish
my knowledge of the scriptures were super solid so I could call everyone to
repentance!
Anyways, moves are this Wednesday. So I’m pretty sure that I
will stay in Red hill. I had an interview with President Millar last Wednesday,
and he basically told me and most of the mission that we are all training. We
are expecting 60 new missionaries coming in the mission in the next 2 moves. So
everyone will be training whether they like it or not. Haha a whole bunch of 18
year olds are coming in... Great... I'm excited though. (It will be in 6 weeks’
time when loads of missionaries will be coming in).
Oh cool fact; there have been many missionaries who have
been getting in fights and get really beaten up! Haha I’m so excited to be involved
in a fight... haha contention is of the devil... i know... but when it comes
down to defending the Lords church and I I'm ready! :) don’t worry!
I just finished reading the Book of Mormon last night, and
wow I love it so much. I read it so slowly and diligently for the last 3
months. I re-read chapters if I didn’t understand the teachings, and took lots
of notes, and it was all well worth it. I learned so much, now I have a pretty
good understanding of the Book of Mormon. I am super blessed.
I love and miss you so much everyone. I hope everything is
going well for all of you.
Cheers mates!! ;)
