Okay well we had transfers this week and i got paired up with Elder McCook. I think you guys already knew that, but yeah, great guy. So awesome. We actualyl had quite an effective week for me being in charge of the area and not knowing what the heck I'm doing! Haha!
Well anyways, last saturday we were chilling there having a good time, got back to the flat and noticed that neither of us have any keys. haha! We locked outselves outside of our flat!!! And the doors in england are stupid, they don't have handles or anything so yeah. But anyways Calum came over at like 10:00 at night from his house and was trying to use a stick through the letter box to open the door! It was so funny! He always does it at his house (he's a pro at breaking into his own house lol) but our door is funny so he couldn't get it open. So we had to call the Zone leaders, and they drove all the way from Crawley (about a 30-minute drive) to pick us up and bring us to their flat to sleep. Haha. On the way there I was like super loopy because I was so tired and I was just laughing at everything. i felt so bad for the ZL's because we had to wake them up so we could find a place to sleep.
Anyways, next morning (this is Sunday now) we get back to the flat because Brother Lambert says he has a spare key for our flat just for this situation. Well anyways, he comes over and finds that the key isn't working. What the heck!!! So we still can't get into our flat!! So we go to church all gross and scruffy looking, but we get back home and have Ryan pelham jump through our bathroom window. the window is like 6 inches wide and he somehow fit through it! It was so funny seeing his legs just dangle out of it. Anyways he got through and opened the door for us, it turned out that when Calum and I were trying to open the door with the stick that we hit the lock on the door, so that even keys won't open it. What the heck is the point of that!!! Haha so we finally got everything sorted out because Ryan could fit through a tiny window, it was so hilarious.
Anyways we had a fireside by president Millar at the chapel, it went really well and we had 3 investigators there. There was actually quite a bit of people that showed up to an event that basically me, Elder Wainwright and the Stones just came up with one day. Haha! So it was awesome that there was a good turnout.
Well i ahve to get running, but this week has been great, thank you everyone for your e-mails, and sorry if I haven't replied to your e-mails, this week has been a little funny with transfers and I think I might've read some of your e-mails and forgot to reply to them. I hope you all are doing all you can to stay strong in living the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Just as the 4th Article of Faith says, the first principles are Faith in jesus Christ, Repentance, Baptism and receiving the Gift of the Holy ghost. We should ALL strive to follow these simple principles, no matter how long we've been in the church. As we have faith in Christ, repent of any sins or wrongdoings that we've done, and renew our Baptismal covenenants as we take the sacrament each week, we feel the presence of the Holy ghost that we were promised when we were confirmed members of the church. Always remember that the Sacrament isn't just a routine thing, it is essential to living the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and helps us have the spirit with us each week.
Love all of you, hope to hear from you soon!
-Elder Skyler Blumenthal
