My
birthday was definitely awesome this week, just so you all know. For my next
birthday I will be home! That is so crazy. Anyway, I was on exchange with Elder
Hogge, a missionary in our district when I woke up on my birthday. They have
tennis rackets and courts near their flat, so we got to play tennis in the
morning before study! That was awesome. Then we had Zone Meeting, a meeting
with all the missionaries serving in the Coventry stake here, so I got to have
26 missionaries sing me happy birthday in the most horrible voices that they
could muster. It was great. A few people asked me if I would be doing anything
on my birthday and I replied simply enough, "doing missionary work."
The
other day I had dinner at this guy's house http://www.mormon.org/richard.
It was pretty cool.
The
day after my birthday was my one year mark on the mission, pretty crazy. I have
less time to go than I have already done. I don't think my brain has fully
comprehended or understood that yet. But I guess that will come over
time--meaning before I know what happens, I'll be home. Sometimes it seems like
I have been on my mission forever, and sometimes it seems it has not been too
long. But one thing is for sure. It has been amazing, and it will continue to
be amazing.
Unfortunately,
our friend Peter did not get baptised this week as he is struggling with some
health problems. But hopefully it will be happening in the near future.
Our
teaching pool here has gone from a pool to a puddle to pretty much nothing, so
we'll be hitting the streets hard this week, with the faith to find the people
that the Lord has prepared to receive the fullness of the Restored
gospel. Thankfully, the weather has been good. It is going to be awesome!
Love,
Elder
