HEY HEY!
Hate to burst the bubble but I really doubt I get that package
before the 17th ha ha we just went to Brampton and wont be going back for
a while! (His birthday package!)
Troy looks great I'm super happy for the character! I hope that they are doing well.
Things this week were good! We really didn't see the great results
that I would have liked to see but it was still really great to see what
happened. We had a Leadership meeting in Brampton and it went really
well for us, the thing that is crazy about everything
is that we had only a few days to be able to go out and work in our own
area.. but it was a great learning opportunity in itself ha ha. We just
pounded the pavement again and went out searching for the elect day
after day and really didn't find anything but Muslims...
I love how firm they are in their faith, but its so closed off to what
God really wants to the point that its beyond blind faith! And they are
very... stubborn and set in their ways.. so that's all that we had day
after day after day...and it was a bummer because
we weren't teaching lessons, we weren't finding people who would listen
and we weren't seeing the success that we wanted.. SO.. we just kept on
trying our best and kept going. Sunday comes around and really haven't
found anyone too prepared that week, and we both
fasted and fasted that we would find someone prepared to be baptized
this transfer.. and we got home from church, ended the fast and went on
our way. Well within the hour we ended up knocking on some random guys
door who was beyond incredible. We talked about
why we go to church and how we need to base ourselves in Christ and the
Restoration etc, and he said "You know, the only thing I don't believe in
as of right now is Joseph Smith... But who am I to say he's not a
prophet when I don't know anything about him right?
As long as you believe in God as our Father, and Christ as the Son, I'm
more than willing to hear what you have to say." It was a MIRACLE. I
hope that we can see some great things in the upcoming weeks here in
London!
Things are going great right now, still working my butt off and
really trying to do my best. There have been a few times where I've been
pretty cheesed at my performance, but the thing that I have come to
know is that the Lord doesn't necessarily want us
to be exactly perfect... He just wants us to understand when we aren't
and then make the change and start fresh. I love repentance, and the joy
that it really does bring into the lives of the people I meet as well
as in my own life. I love being able to partake
the sacrament and feel that cleansing power of the Atonement. I know
this work is true and love helping others to be clean of their sins
through the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. I love you all,
let me know if there is anything I can do to help
you out!
Forever and Always,
