Hello everyone!
This has been a fantastic week!
So on P-Day, we saw the queen which was pretty great. And
then that night, our new investigator, Maya, came into the VC, and we showed
her the new Hallelujah video, and talked to her about that, and we were able to
put her on date for baptism. April 10th! She's so great! She was taught by the
sisters last summer, and she's really eager to learn again. We already love her
a lot. :)
Tuesday, we did a lot of finding through the area book. At
one point, we called a former investigator, he answered, said nothing, played
some creepy music, then hung up. It was....different haha. But we were ablet o
get in touch with a few people and schedule some appointments or times to call
back, so that was good. :)
Wednesday, we taught Maya again! We went over the
restoration and she is SO good! There is a bit of a language barrier (she is
from Thailand) but she tries so hard to understand and is always asking
questions to make sure she gets it. She's wonderful!! Then we had dinner with
the Bishop and his family! They are the greatest. It was so much fun, and I
really look up to them and the spirit that is in their home. It's such a
privilege to serve here. :)
Then we went to stop by a former investigator, and it turned
out that he had passed away. So that was a bit sad and awkward...but we had
some great conversations with people along the way. :)
Thursday we had district meeting! Then afterward, our
investigator/referral that came to church last week, came into the VC. It was
funny though, because he was super late, and we caleld him and he said that he
had come, but was afraid to come in. So he left. Then he turned around and came
back...haha well it was good though. We referred him to the Portuguese elders
so he can be taught in his native language, and he is doing really great!
Friday, one of the members had a little late birthday
celebration for Sister Kerr. :) So we went to that, and then traveled to Acton
where we were abel to teach Jefferson with Brother Clark! It was a pretty
exhausting lesson, as we really had to lay down the line with him. He had been
having some trouble showing commitment, so we had a bit of a "do or
die" lesson. But it was also a really
good lesson and it ended with a
strong spirit. So we will see what happens!
Then we had dinner with the Smiths. :) They are the best! It
was so much fun, and they were so kind in making sure everything was gulten
free. Ahhh I just love the members so much!
Saturday, we had the VC meeting, and
President Stevens came! It was really great, and we were able to talk about
ways to improve the environment in the VC and how we can be the best that we can
be. :) That afternoon, Kasper, one of the members, took us to Nandos! It was
great and we are SO grateful for Kasper! After that, we went on a blitz in
Earls Court (so the way blitzes work here, is an elder and sister go on one
side of the street, while the others go on the other and you talk to everyone!
But you still always stay in site and sound of your real companion. :)) Elder
Cook and I talked to AT LEAST 15 people from the Philippines. It was cool! We
also talked to a great man from Lebanon, who was really excited to hear that we
believe in God. We are seeing him again this upcoming Friday. :)
Then that night at the VC, was incredible! We just had a lot
of prepared people come in. We gave a tour to a couple from Argentina, who
spoke very little English, but they felt the Spirit and agreed to meet with
missionaries in Argentina! Then a lady named Lisa came in, who had some Mormon
friends, and had found and bought a Book of Mormon at a charity shop. We taught
her lesson 1, and explained prophets, Adam and Eve, and a lot of other
subjects. She isn't ready to meet with missionaries yet, but we have her email
and will keep in touch. She was SO great and the Spirit was so strong. Then we
also had a young girl come in and start looking around. I started talking to
her and we ended up having a great conversation about what sets Mormons apart
form other Christian churches. She ended up agreeing to meet with missionaries,
so the YSA Elders will call her this week. :)
Sunday was great! Sister Kerr gave a talk about coming unto
Christ. :) Then that evening we had to pack up our whole flat! The lease is up,
so we moved flats today! Now we live in West Brompton, and it is SUCH a cool
area. So all of today was spent moving and unpacking and shopping etc....It's
been busy!
Well! I
love this gospel. For those who haven't seen the new Easter video, go watch it!
And for those who have, watch it again! I'm so grateful for Jesus Christ and
how He has given me new life. I would be nothing without the Gospel and I'm so
grateful I get to testify of that every single day. :)
Have a great week!
