Another week another migraine...nah just kidding. We had a really good week this week!
As a matter of fact, Elder Teixeira, the Europe Area
General Authority came and visited our mission on Thursday. It was way cool to
be able to listen to him and get some insight on what we need to do to move
forward with the work. He talked a lot about getting referrals from everyone,
he gave really good lessons and it was a good time had by all.
Elder McCormack took up his little challenge of asking
everyone for a referral, and we asked our investigator, J, if any of his
friends were interested, as it turns out 3 of them were interested and we are
meeting with them this week. So I am really excited about that. Things are
looking up.
So something funny happened this week, I was in Southend
with another missionary named Elder Hansen, and our ceiling started to leak! So
we got a ladder out and went up into the attic to see what the heck was going
on. When we got up there, it smelled absolutely terrible! Probably one of the
worst smells I have smelled, and it turns out there were like 3 dead pigeons up
there! Ahh it was disgusting, but it was pretty funny at the same time. I don’t
know how they got up there, but it was pretty gross.
Oh yeah and a couple nights ago a fox jumped out at me
and my companion and it made me yell. It
was funny.
A miracle happened this week as well -- this just
happened last night. We were at a part member family’s house for dinner. We were having a good time and everything and
then the wife (Charlotte) who is the member, asked for a blessing. I didn’t see
a reason not to give her one so I gave her one.
When I was finished she gave me a really astonished look. Apparently parts of my blessing to her were
word for word the same as her patriarchal blessing!
Things are going quite well. Elder McCormack and I are doing some great
things.
Love you guys, hope you are all doing well.
