Well fam bam,
It's been a great week. Don't have much time
today but overall, everything has been good. The weather has been a bit moody
haha, we had a few sunny days and we got a bit comfortable, which isn't okay to
do in England so it decided to start raining at the end of the week non stop.
But it's alllll good. Everything gets 10x more green after it rains so it's
Beautiful. Some of the leaves are already changing which is pretty wild. Autumn
will be here before we know it. But overall we have had some good lessons this
week.
We were able to see L and R this
week! They are brilliant! Lena loves reading the Chinese Book of Mormon and
R loves praying. So we are pretty excited about them. We have been teaching
them over Skype or Wechat with other Chinese members so it works out pretty well!
We invited them to church this week and they both came and loved it. L shared how peaceful she felt during the sacrament. It was a great meeting as
well, Elder Ammermon gave a talk and they really felt the Spirit. We are trying
to have Skype lessons with them every day and seeing them in person 2 times a
week. It's hard because they are
always so busy with school. But we can find
time.
We taught Z a few times this week as
well! She is super super good. She came to church as well. She has been plenty
of times before but she has started to being her boys along. And they love it.
She sends them off the primary and they just love it. She has a few things holding
her back right now. Very small things. But she has had so many crazy
experiences happen that really are answers to her prayers, she was going to be
late to church and she made every single green light, and when she arrived, all
the talks were about conversion stories. She first met the missionaries because
she prayed for some to come around and like a few days later they knocked on
her door. So she has had some cool experiences but she struggled to recognise
them as answers sometimes. But we are helping her.
So it's been a lovely week here in duston.
We are being fed a lot which is good. Don't worry momma haha. The ward is just
so good. We struggled finding new people this week to be honest. Not much of anything.
So this next week will be a bit slower. But we found some new places to contact
so that will be interesting and super fun. I always love trying new places and
just getting lost and meeting people that we wouldn't meet anywhere else and
realising that the Lord places us in certain areas.
Lords Hand
I saw the Lords Hand this week in L and
her willingness to read the Book of Mormon. She read in faith, knowing it would
help her with her studies and it did. I'm grateful that the Lord was able to
help her feel the comfort and understanding while she was studying.
Well I am stoked for the Utes to get a W.
Let me know how the game goes. It's crazy that college football is starting.
I'm already missing my second season haha. But I'm excited to hear how the Utes
do! Love you guys! You're the best.
NO SHORT CUTS
