Ahoy out there,
Ohhh, what a week.
First off, I am turning 20, which just mental!
And we had really good week this week.
We tried giving Marina a baptismal date but she wanted to pray about it
first. You can tell she is feeling it better though, because she has been
reading and praying. We read the Book of Mormon with her and the spirit was
there so strongly. We read Moroni 8 and it was good. I am really
excited to see her keep making these good decisions.
We found two new people that we are teaching this week. Both of them are
from Poland. The first one’s name is Monica. She is sooooo cool. I
am over the moon that we are the missionaries that get to teach her. We
stopped her in the street, and she didn't have time to talk so she gave us her
address . . . but it was really only 70% of her address. On Saturday an
appointment cancelled so we tried to go find out where she lives, and
miraculously we did. We knocked and she let us in and we taught lesson
one right there. She has two kids, who are 7 and 5, I think. She is
a Catholic but is not that active. Now she really wants to find out
more. She is so laid back and so nice and willing to listen. She is
wonderful.
The other guy is Michael. He has lots of religious knowledge and had some
good questions when we met with him. We gave him a Book of Mormon and he
said “I think I will only get done with half of it by next week, is that OK?”
and we were in shock.
Solid week.
The Book of Mormon musical is in full force right now . . . and not only that
but the church has bought out lots of the underground ads and billboards in
London for Mormon.org. So it is an exciting time to be a
missionary. Unfortunately, we are in an area which we call “outer
darkness” which means we are out of the loop as to what goes on in London right
now. In this zone we can’t go in to London because it’s far away, but we
are this Thursday for a meeting, so I guess I will see this stuff first hand.
Everything else is fine. The weather is nice right now, things are
good. What else can I say?
I’ve started to study the Bible a lot more, so that will be good.
Hope you all are doing great.
Love you,
Elder Purdy
