Well! It has been another solid week here in
Watford!!! Life is good and we are enjoying the new transfer! Elder Williams is
great missionary and example. He works super super hard and we have tons of fun
together. Haha to be honest if you want to know what our companionship is like,
just picture Hank and I serving together. Just loads of jokes and laughing. But
we are working super hard and we have already seen some really really cool
miracles. We got back from transfers on Wednesday and have just been hitting
the streets. We have found loads of people, some are interested. Others not so
much, but we have just been out and it's been great.
We had two highlights this week, first, our
good friend J who came to church last week is a legend. We saw him this
week and we extended a baptismal date to him for the 19th of march! And it was
solid! He accepted and is so willing to work towards it. He is already on 2 Nephi 31 and he has had the Book of Mormon for 4 days. The Lord is really just
preparing him! His father is a member in Ghana and is so happy for his son. It
has been so lovely to see the support that J has.
The second highlight of the week was our
good pal L was baptized on Sunday. He is 8 and made the decision on his own.
His mother is a member but his father is not. We love the family so much. They
are so supportive. They always feed us and make our lives better. It was such a
sweet experience to be a part of. After the baptism, L said to Elder
Williams and I, "One day, I will baptize my father, just like I was baptized today". It was such a spiritual experience for me! L understood the
importance of what he had done, and realised that he knew it would help his dad
as well.
Lords Hand
I saw the Lords Hand this week in L! He
is such an amazing boy. He has a loving heart and he just makes everyone happy.
I also saw the Lords Hand this week in J. I can see how prepared he is. He
talked to us about how he did not want to join the church in Ghana, but that when
he was invited to church here by a member, he felt that it was right. The Lord
is mindful of all of us. His timing is sacred and special. I love it.
I love you all. It sounded like lax was
good!!!! Parkin bros making some plays!!!! I love yooooouuu! Keep being the
best.
No short cuts
