July 2

Okay!! So what happened this week? Good question.


Sister Uttamakul and I decided to go tracting! Oh boy. Haven't done that much in my mission! It was actually raining and we had scarfs and coats (June? You mean November?). We reacted from 4-5 and guess when we first found someone. 4:50. Our first gospel conversation wahoo!!! YES found a polish family sweet. Talked for a bit and then left. Well it was 4:58 which equals perfect time for a miracle. We knocked on one door, not interested. 4:59 here the miracle comes!!!! (This is actually real timing btw. And yes I would suggest to try this on missions). We knocked on one last door and Leanne opened. She was really sweet. A young mom with two boys jumping around her. She couldn't talk then but agreed for us to come back again.

We came back and got to know her. She is married (yayay) and has got 5 and 3 yr old boys. She has no religious background and doesn't believe in God. But is open. We have seen her a coupe, of times since and just finished teaching her about the restoration of the gospel. It's all so new for her but she is willing to try and when she sees the difference, be baptised on August 13th! Yay!

K then we got Aaron and another Aaron. Both Aaron's to be baptised August 13th. And we need to teach both of them the Word of Wisdom. (They don't know each other just happen to have the same names. That sure confused our district leader).


Sister Uttamakul is rocking it!!! She is able to speak and share her testimony in lessons. But she does it all by the spirit. I remember one lesson she didn't say anything and afterward I asked her about it and she said, well I didn't feel the spirit so I didn't know what to say. I was like oh. Yah that's not good. So now we focus a ton on spiritual lessons which I LOVE! It is really neat. She is teaching me a lot.

Other than that life is good. It's cold in England but we had two sunny days and that was heavenly. Also an elderly man kissed both of our hands while we were finding. Poor sister Uttamakul was so disturbed. Oh that craziness of mission life.

Alrighty I apologise for the shortness. And not even that many jokes! Next week will be better for sure. (For you missionaries it's like when you do a gap that is struggling so hard that your commitment is for the investigator to let you teach the gap again lol) (gap is a role play btw)

PICTURE TIME!!

November 14

Good evening :) Crazy crazy week as always.  Not sure where to start and where to end. Unfortunately Mark's baptism had to be postponed.  He is still coming to church and loves learning and wants to get baptized.  A concern came up and his baptism needed to be postponed.  We also passed him to the elders to continue to get ready for his baptism.  I'll keep you posted.   Eline is doing so fantastically well.  She accepted the word of wisdom no problem and continues to prepare for baptism on December 11th!  She is very prepared. Our other prepared favorite investigator, Jane Susan.  Pretty sure I already told you all about her.  Hopefully.  Her sister and niece recently got baptized in Gorelston (by Norwich) and told Jane about how they love the church, so now Jane wants to learn.  She was a referral from the Stratford ward.  She is so prepared it is so great teaching her.  Appointments last precisely 45...

July and warming up

July 19 HELLO!!!! Good to hear from all of you!  I know I say this every time. But time is going so fast. Next week will be transfers. I do not want to lose my companion. We need to stay together. You can pray for that. Just kidding. We will se what next week brings! P day will be on Tuesday again so emails will be late. This week was a good week!! I'm trying to remember everything that happened. It's all such a blur. Oh Nish!!! Our lovely investigator from India. She wow. She is all over the place. Every day (no every hour) Sister Guimaraes and I go back and forth of whether she I'll make her date for July 30th or not. We just don't know what to think. She has refused to give up coffee at all in the past. This week we committed her to no coffee and she did it! In fact in our lesson on Saturday she said she could give up coffee forever!! (Except for this coffee dessert but we will work it out). What a drastic change this was. All because she is praying and reading ev...
