| First day wearing a short sleeve shirt! |
Well! It's been a pretty fast week here in
Lea Valley!!!! Some crazy stuff has happened but we have also seen tons of
miracles! So it's been super super awesome. So early in the week Elder Tonks
and I were walking through a parking lot and this guy runs up to us and asks if
he could meet with us and talk about the Mormon church. His name is F and he is a boss! He is from Columbia. We said of course and met him the next
day! We were teaching him and In the middle of the lesson he just asked when he
could be baptized and also asked which river he could be baptized in because he
wanted to do the same thing Jesus Christ did! It was so awesome! I had the
biggest smile on my face and I looked at Elder Tonks and we were just super
super happy. He had a few missionaries knock on his door in Columbia but he
said he didn't really talk to them much but that he did go to Church with them.
But he did say that they were very good men who loved God. It just made me think
about the missionaries that knocked on his door 3 years ago. They probably
thought nothing was going to happen. I've been super super grateful for those
missionaries because F is a great man who is so prepared now. So keep F in your prayers! He needs to come to church a few times before!
So our area is a pretty sketchy place I'll
just tell you that haha. So we were out street contacting and we found this guy
named K. He's a middle aged dude who is super funny but has a few
problems that we are sorting out. He told us he has been smoking crack for 10 years
almost every day and he wants to stop. As well as drinking and everything else.
It's going to be a long process but he will do it! Well anyways, we saw him on
Saturday and he was messed up. He had a huge wound on his face and his nose and
he had about 45 stitches. He went on to tell us that he was out on the streets
with his "Homies" and they got in a fight and some guy stabbed him in the face with a broken glass bottle. He's in a bit deeper than we thought with
some gangs in the area so we are going to decide what we should do and how we
can help him. But he is a genuine guy that wants to change.
So we had an exchange in central London and
it was great! It felt so good to be back again haha! It was good to see Elder Burgess
working in my last area. We were talking about how long it has been since the MTC.
We even got to sleep at the good old Britannia flat so it was a good time.
Lords hand
I have seen the Lords Hand In so many things
this week. But I think especially in F and his willingness to follow
Christ. It just makes me so happy knowing that all missionaries are planting
seeds and I saw that first hand this week in Fernando. The Lord prepares different
people at different times. It's da bessssttttt. I loveeeee it.
I have basically told the whole mission that
my sick cousin is serving in the Kazakhstan mission. Haha I'm so excited for
Andrew. It's gonna be sick to be out in the field with him. I love you guys.
You are the best family in the world. Keep sending it. Can't wait to talk in
less than a month!!!!!!!
No short cuts
