Another Week

My companion is going home this week. Probably a good thing, he's trunky out of his mind haha. But that's all right I still love the kid to death and have really enjoyed this transfer. But I'm excited to get a new companion too, hopefully someone who is super excited to do missionary work and we'll go kill it and talk to a million people and baptize all of them, or as many of them as we can anyway. I'm guessing I'll get a pretty young companion, probably someone who has been on their mission for 2 or 3 transfers, and I'll stay here as District Leader, but we'll find out for sure what the deal is tonight!

This week has been all right, we've still just had more and more lessons fall through--but we did actually have one lesson hold, with a jamaican lady named Shauna. We are supposed to teach her again tonight, so hopefully that will be amazing. A few weeks ago we helped a member here redecorate some of his house that he really needed to sell so that he could move to Bristol. And yesterday we found out that he was able to sell it to someone who came to look at it just a couple days after we helped him out. So that was really cool, its good to know that even though the missionary work here has been really frustrating this transfer, we still have been able to do some good. It was a pretty crazy story actually. We didn't really know the guy because he has spent a lot of sundays at church in Bristol with his fiance, but one day we ran into him on the street and we were able arrange helping him to redecorate. Later, he told us that he had just been praying for some way of having help in getting his house ready to sell, and just then he ran into us. This is just another proof of how amazing God is and how the power of prayer really does work.

This morning I studied D. Todd Christofferson's talk from General Conference, all about the Resurrection. It was amazing. It strengthened my testimony that the Savior Jesus Christ truly did rise from the dead that first easter morning, and appeared unto many. This proves His divine sonship and that all of the things which He taught must have been true. And they are. And I am so glad that I now have an even stronger testimony of this which I now can share with the people of Wolverhampton.

Love Always,
