Hello
hello!
Well yesterday we got transfer calls
and Elder Mongelli and I will be staying together again for another transfer! I
am excited to work here another six weeks along with that I am trying my hand
at district leader. I will definitely be busy and we
surely have plenty of potential to have a baptism!!
We have been all over the place
trying to find new investigators. We
prayed and felt that we needed to get out of Sittingbourne and go to some
little villages that are scattered about in our area. And what a decision that
was! We found four or five really good
potential people that I am really excited to meet with this week, along with
our other investigators like Marina.
Speaking of her, she is going to be
the death of me. I think that is the
problem with missionary work. You start
to love the people so much that it honestly hurts you to not see them come to
church and to not progress towards baptism.
We are still working with her though.
I will keep you posted on what happens.
I think I need to just show her that she matters to us, and that she
definitely matters to our Heavenly Father.
When people understand their true relationship with their Heavenly
Father, then prayer becomes natural, and so does living the gospel.
Other than that, the weather this
week has been beautiful. I love England
so much. Flowers are popping up
everywhere and I can actually see the sky now. It is great. It has been fun to go around to these little
villages in this weather as well – everything is so old! I took a picture in a
village called Lower Halstow next to an Anglican Church named St. Margaret of
Antioch that was built by the Saxons back in the 7th century or so. So cool.
I love you all, I love England, and I
love the gospel.
I have studied a lot about the
Atonement this week and am so grateful for the sacrifice that our Saviour Jesus
Christ made for us. To think that the
creator of this earth died for us so that we may live again is something that I
cannot fully comprehend.
Have
a good week
Elder
