What a week it has been!!!!!!
Hahaha a lot of cool things have happened
this week! It was busy and exciting. So first things first, we had interviews
with President Stevens this week! It's always a lovely experience!!!! It's
super nice now with the new missionary schedule we also have interviews and
zone conference every transfer!!! So we are super super happy about that! But
interviews were great and President is the best haha.
We had a cool experience earlier this week
on Wednesday. I was with an elder from Uganda and we had such a good time. His
name is Elder Muwanika and we just made tons of memories. We also shared a very
very special experience together as well. It was the evening time and we were
headed to the chapel for Ward Council and this car pulled into the car park
with a flat tire. We went over to help them and they were super kind, they
didn't have a spare so we told them they could park their car in the car park
and come inside the church to wait for their cab. We talked to them for quite a
while and they started opening up to us. They asked about our missions and
eventually about the church in general. They expressed how they both had a
belief in God but they didn't really know what to do about it. They shared that
they had lost a very close family member just a year ago. They opened up and it
was very emotional. We were able to very very simple testify of the plan of
salvation and the gospel of Jesus Christ and the happiness and comfort it
brings. They shared how they were driving down the road for quite a while
and that the wife had been telling the husband to pull over several times.
After driving a ways down the road, he pulled into the chapel car park. It was
so lovely to see that they recognized that it happen for a reason. They left in
their cab and we got their contact info. We contacted them but after a few days
we couldn't get a hold of them. I realised that one of the greatest seeds had
been planted on my mission, they experienced being in the chapel, they felt the
spirit, and they learned about the simple plan that God has for us. I'm
grateful for the experience Elder Muwanika and I had because my testimony of
the plan of salvation was strengthened. I have never felt such love for 2
people I hardly knew.
That was the highlight of the week for sure.
I will never forget that. But we are loving life here. Elder Williams and I are
having a good time and working hard. We have taught J a few times and he
is a legend. His commitment to the gospel is incredible, he has given up a lot
prepare for his baptisms.
Today was a crazy day. We are both
nackard!!! First thing this morning we locked ourselves out of the flat without
our car keys too. so we called the land lady and she couldn't help so we booked
it to the chapel like 3 miles away for call ins. We then got help from the
senior couple but when they picked us up they got a flat tire so we fixed that.
Then went and picked up a spare key where the land lady yelled at us haha. It
was just very exciting.
Life is good. I love the mission!!!! I love
Watford. It's a great place.
No short cuts!
