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
