WHAT A CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
This will be short because of time and we
also talked yesterday!!! Ahhhhh it was so good. Everyone seems so old.
Sometimes when I look at Ben, Will and Grace it seems like I've been gone for
100 years. It was sweet to flip flop spots with Sam hahaha. Kind of weird, but
it was good. Ah it was the best talking to you. It always goes way to fast. But
everyone seems happy and it sounds like it was a white Christmas in slc!!!!!!
Ahhh the snow!!! Sometimes I wish we would get a few inches over here. But it
really was the best seeing everyone!
So we had a solid week this week. We were in
Bedford this last week. It brought back some good memories from the first of
the mission! Ah it's so weird. Walking around the embankment talking to people
and just having a good time. I did realise when I was there that I did struggle
when I was in Bedford. But i learned so much!!! We were able to teach a cool
guy this week! He is way cool, he is from Anguilla and he is a
legend. He is like a pro sail boat man. Hahahah way cool! He came to church on
Sunday and loved it!!! We also saw A, our Chinese friend, he also came to
church!!! He enjoyed it!!! We were able to meet some cool people later on this
week!
Lords Hand
I really saw the Lords Hand this week on
Thursday. For our district Meeting, we wrapped a much of copies of the Book of
Mormon and went to the town centre and started handing them out. We were having
quite a bit of success! And I will give some background before I go on....so a few
weeks ago, we had lunch in this pub and there was this girl that walked into
the pub and I really felt promoted to talk to her, she looked like she was from
South America. She started to walk away and I ignored the prompting....I felt
awful. I tried to find her but couldn't. A week or so later, we were in town
handing out these Copies of the Book of Mormon...and I turned around and I saw
this girl! So I ran over and gave her this present. Her English was not the
best, but I tried to speak some Spanish that I learned from Mr. Salles (East High's Spanish teacher) hahahaha
and it somehow worked and then Elder Botta came over and spoke to her in
Spanish. We set up a return appointment and and added her on Facebook and have
been in contact. I felt so beyond grateful, knowing that the Lords had placed
her in our path again!!!!! Even if nothing comes, I am so beyond grateful for
that!
We also saw the Lords Hand this week as we
prayed for the opportunity to help someone this week. To really Light the
World. We received a call from a member telling us that there was man named
John in the hospital who's ex wife is a member. He has been in the hospital for
about 4 months and has been diagnosed with cancer...we knew this was our chance
to light the World. We went to visit him. The miracle was when I recognised him
and he recognised me. 4 or so months ago, we were asked to help a member move
flats, John, was this members ex husband, we had met him a while ago and helped
him move all his stuff into a truck a few months ago. A few days after we had
helped him, he was diagnosed with cancer and has been in the hospital since. I
knew that I was there at his home 4 months ago for reason and that I was here
to visit him at this Christmas time. It was a humbling experience. Christmas is
a sacred time as a missionary. I cannot describe the feelings the I have had
for my Saviour. I know He lives, He is the light of the world. I really cannot
believe that my last Christmas is over. I will never forget the experiences I
have had on my mission in England over this time of the year.
I love you guys! You are the best! I hope
the snow is light and dry up in the wasatch!! Send it hard for me! Remember, at
least you know when your sending it!!!
No short cuts
Jacob
