Well, that title sums up my week – a
bit strange.
Tuesday we had Zone Conference, way
down in Colchester Essex. President Jordan gave a wicked training on the Great
Apostasy. That man is soo smart it is unbelievable. Talked a lot about the
things that changed and the things that were lost in the Great Apostasy, and
then he talked a bit about how Joseph Smith received revelation which blew my
mind! All you have to do is read the
chapter heading of D&C 7 ... I think it’s 7.

It was a very good meeting, after which
I went on an exchange with Elder Adams in Great Yarmouth. It was a fun workover.
He is from South Africa. As we were walking around we saw a big lorry that said
“East Anglian Federation of Racing Pigeons ... Athletes of the Sky.” It was pretty legitimate – I’ll send the
picture.
Also, while I was there I had a
lovely conversation with a lady on the bus. I just said hello and it turned
into a good gospel conversation about families. The Lord works in mysterious
ways.
I stayed there until Wednesday night
and then went back to Norwich.
Thursday we worked really hard but
it just did not seem like things were working. We were happy that we worked
hard but it was just one of those times where you wish you knew what to do.
We also saw Emma. She is as good as
ever – loving church, so excited for her baptism and her understanding is
pretty good as well. It’s crazy to watch the Lord work in somebody like this. You
can just see their happiness, confidence, everything just increase for the
better. She is great.
Friday we made some plans – lots and
lots of planning – then went up north and saw some LA's. In Norwich town centre
a Christian man gave us a laying on of hands and some blessing and commanded us
to feel the spirit. Really weird. I didnt know what to say when he was done
hahaha.
Saturday was a ward activity that we
went to. I love Norwich ward, they are fun. I have some good friends up here.
Sunday we went up to Cromer. Every
month a member who owns a bed and breakfast has a sacrament meeting up there at
his B&B. All the northern people who usually don’t make it down to Norwich
come. It was very spiritual. I passed the sacrament to them all and bore my
testimony on how as we have faith in Christ there are good things to come in
our lives no matter who we are. There are always going to be good times,
success, and happiness as we boldly have faith in our Saviour. It was good, and
something I have been thinking of for a long time. He truly is the Light and the Life of the
world.
Well, I love you all.
