So
this week was pretty lame because I got pretty sick. So not too much missionary
work has been getting done in the last few days, just a lot of sleeping and
some watching General Conference. Our teaching pool has expanded a little bit.
It now consists of:
•
a Latvian lady who will listen to us,
but barely speaks English. We don't even have any supplies in Latvian, so
that's difficult
•
a Muslim guy who doesn't want
to change (maybe Elder Myrtaj will be able to help him out, he was sort of
raised Muslim)
•
a really awesome Hungarian lady who has
been reading The Book of Mormon in Hungarian and has a bunch of questions, but
we can't answer them because she barely speaks English. Fortunately, there is a
Hungarian Elder named Elder Magda serving in Coventry right now who is from
Hungary and so we're probably going to get him over here this week to teach her
and answer her questions. It will be awesome.
So
that's pretty cool, but obviously not the greatest. Hopefully I'll get better
soon so that we can find some more amazing people to teach. We actually have an
appointment scheduled for tonight with an awesome family, so hopefully I'm well
enough to actually go to that and we don't have to reschedule it. Our recent
converts Jan and Julie are still awesome, they both enjoyed conference and
everything.
General
Conference was Awesome!!! I've only actually seen 3 of the sessions, but they
were quite great and certainly helped me to answer some questions I had about
how I can be better. I just love that! Its so cool when that happens.
Revelation through prophets is amazing. I especially liked President Uchtdorf's
talk about being grateful in our circumstances.
Being grateful because of Jesus Christ, not because of stuff that we
have. Also, When I was watching one of the sessions at the Coventry
chapel, a member brought a friend along and so I was able to chat with him and
be his friend, so that was really awesome. He was a cool kid studying Psychology
at a university there - really smart. I hope he gets baptised and serves a
mission some day. That would be amazing. Anyway, I hope you all always remember
that God is really awesome.
Love,
Elder
