Four Weeks In Maidstone Already!!!

Dear everyone, this week has flown by way too fast. i don't know where the time went. i honestly don't remember much throughout the week either, which I guess is good? Or bad? I don't know, haha!

 

We had a Multi-zone conference where I got to finally see Elder Ormsby, my MTC companion!!!! It was awesome to see him again! He's serving in Brighton, which is basically right by where my last area was in haywards heath. (just south of it)

 

We learned about what exactly the church is doing about this whole "Book of Mormon" musical coming out. They're really going all out on advertisements and such to spread the word! Russel M. Nelson was right when he said that the last days are here and that the work is going at a blinding pace now (or something like that!)

 

We received training (Kind of) on how to prep members with their missionary work when this comes out. The 2 questions people will probably ask us as members of the church are, 1: What is the book of mormon? and 2: Why is your church doing this??

 

Be prepared to answer those questions!!! It will prove to you guys that you can be member missionaries and have missionary experiences all the time.

 

Anyways, enough about that. This week was awesome and we met a really cool guy named Dan on the street! Just walking along to an appointment (we were already late to... woops) we talked to him and he was really nice, we're seing him later today. He's 18 and is in the Army, and has already been to afghanistan!!! Holy cow. But he's very humble and willing to learn about how the Lord can help him and each of us.

 

I have to write President, but I'm grateful for all that you guys do and the e-mails I get form each of you! Thank you so much and I hope you're preparing yourselves for the work of the Lord that is progressing. Never forget to study the scriptures and brush up on the answers to life's great questions that the Book of Mormon gives us. I challenge each of you to read the Book of Mormon with questions in mind, questions that only God can give you direction for. I promise than in some way he'll answer you.
