The Craziest Week Ever!

Dear everyone,

This week has been so hectic, I don't even know where to begin.

 

Well let's backtrack to the beginning. We had a great District Meeting on Wednesday, Elder Patten's last district meeting with us!!! And I had to teach a part of it. i was a bit nervous but it seemed to go by smoothly. Elder Patten taught a really powerful lesson about following the spirit.

 

We also had exchange that day, and I was with Elder Patten here in maidstone! We went to Chris's Baptismal Interview, it went well! He passed! It was really funny though, I got pictures later of a family we visited where their dog was nursing a baby cat?! what the heck?! so funny.

 

That night we heard there was a terrorist attack (or something) in Woolwich!!! Which is literally exactly where Elder Patten and Elder Diaz live!!! but since we were on exchange, Elder Eccleton was there! Holy cow!!! Obviously everyone is alright. But it was crazy because it happened at like 2:30 PM in the middle of the afternoon! And Elder Eccleton said they were about 2 blocks away from where it happened. Scary stuff.

 

Anyways, the baptism went... pretty well... Haha!!! It was just really funny, the Ward Mission Leader is basically awesome ad does everything, and he couldn't make it so we had to do things ourselves... and we didn't relaly have a pianist, so the singing was so funny! everyone was off-key and everything. Oh well. Still good.

 

And to top things off, Saturday we had a stake "road show" which is like a big talent show with skits, it was way cool, our ward should've won! dangit! But everyone did really good, I enjoye dit lots. I didn't really get many photos from it, besides us eating biscuits in the hall afterwards haha. But yeah, its been a good week, thanks everyone for the e-mails! Until next week!
