Hello fam bam,
Well this week has been pretty crazy and
stressful to be honest but it's also been super super good! So the district is
awesome! We have a set of visitor centre sisters, ones from Provo and the other
is from California and she is from the ward Isaac is serving in so that's funny
haha. We also have another set of Britannia elders who are both new and white
washing and also the APs. So it's a good time! Everyone is super excited to
work hard and see that work move forward. President has some high expectations
for the district so we are going to grind it out! We are all super stoked. I
don't really know what I'm doing yet but I have awesome zone leaders and APs
that are helping me out and I guess you just Gotta "fake it til you make
it" hahaha. It's like when you forget the lacrosse play and just run
around in circles in front of crease and pretend like you are running a motion
haha. But I'll figure it out for sure.

| Jacob and his new companion Elder H |
My companion is Elder H. He is from Fruitland,
Idaho haha. He's a stud. We get along super well and we are just ready to work
hard. It's been a slow week this past week but we are just being diligent and looking
for the best in everything. But we are stoked to get the work rolling here in
Britannia! It's gonna be sick! The students have seemed to slow down around
exhibition road for some reason so we have been trying some other places. But
we have found a few potentials that I'm hoping will come to church and we have
a way cool guy that we have been teaching for a while named D who we think
will be baptized this transfer. So we are just working with him.
Nothing too exciting has happened this week,
we have just been doing lots of street contacting. Well that's all we do
anyways, we can't tract in London. But we do go finding in Hyde park and it's
pretty good! I've been super tired lately because the last few nights someone in
the building just blats music all night. I woke up at 330 to cold play and then
I woke up at 430 to guns n' roses and then I woke up at 530 to some wacko
techno songs. It's been annoying but it didn't happen last night so I hope it's
done. Well that's basically my week. It's been good!
LORDS HAND
I've seen the lords hand this week in
blessing me with a companion that I get along with and that wants to work hard.
I am grateful that he is excited about missionary work. I have also seen the
lords hand in the beautiful state of Utah. So many members here just say that they
wish they lived in Utah and that everyone who lives there just loves it. It's
so true. I love the Wasatch Mountains and the greatest snow on earth. We are so
blessed haha. It's the best place. England is cool as well hahaha. But not
better than Utah. Another way I saw the lords hand was in our finding this
week. So on Sunday's night we were our street contacting before going home for
bed. And there weren't very many people out but I stopped this guy and he straight
up just asked if I was Elder Parkin. And I said yes and he went on to say that
I called him a month ago or so and asked if we could meet up with him but he
was super bothered on the phone and he hung up. (His number was just in the phone
and I just called him) Well after he hung up he felt that he needed to find us
again but couldn't find our number. And he said every time he walked past the
chapel he felt like God was trying to talk to him. He went on to say that every
time he saw missionaries on the tube or street he check their badge to see if
it was Parkin. We ended up talking for 45 minutes in the street about the
restoration and we are seeing him twice this week. I saw the lords hand in
placing us in the right place at the right time.
I love you guys so much. I hope everyone is
doing well. Keep being the best family in the world.
No short cuts
Jake
