3 Baptisms!

Okay I had like NO TIME to e-mail today I'm sorry!!! DANGIT!!! But yeah the bright side is, WE HAD 3 BAPTISMS!!! SO AWESOME!!! I baptized Jane, the youngest. She's legit.

Okay so what else happened this week? Well crazyness! We actually reached all of our goals, almost every single one. The lord has blessed us so much this week. I've also seen the adversary REALLY playing against missionaries, members, etc. We are inching closer and closer, every day, to the second coming. I'm so glad I know fo the gospel. But I'm not a perfect practicer!!! But anyways, thank you for all your e-mails, I'm so sorry I didn't get to everyone. I'll e-mail you next week Miriam, Sister pelham, and others! SORRY!!!

P.S. Pictures are of the baptism, and elder sin our flat eating my home-made fufu and egusi! (african food). They liked it but I thought It could've been a lot better. Oh well. Better luck next time.

Really Short Letter, Really Short Week

Dear all, this week we had SO LITTLE SUCCESS!!! >:( but Druscillia is getting baptized next week! Booyah!

 

I guess I have like... 0 seconds left on the computer so this is going to be a bare short e-mail innit? (I love London slang) anyways I evne forgot to write a few of you like Sister Pelham and Dad... Whoops. I will next week! Promise! Hopefully. But I'm just gonna put up some pictures of Zone conference (I saw my dad! lol) I miss him. Bless. i remember I used to hate him! HAHAH! That sounds so bad. But yeah he's so chill. And I saw Elder Mecham as well, still chilling it up in Welling ward (I'm like 5 feet away form him in Catford, but different zones :( 

 

Oh yeah and a bruise that I got ! Haha! Thanks isabel! Long story. Hilarious. I must bruise easy. Like a banana!

 

Anyways I gotta get going. love you all.

Mosiah 13

The ten Commandments. One of the first things that Abinadi preaches to the wicked people of King Noah. Because, like L. Tom Perry said, they're almost a barometer for society's stability. Let;s work on living the 10 commandments!

15 Months

Holy talito! 15 months out in the mission field! 9 left!!!! WOAH!! Not that I'm counting down or anything! LOL

 

Alright, this week has been awesome. We taught 21 lessons!!! But don't have too much to show for it. Other than the fact that Druscillia is set for baptism!!! With her daughters. Such a blessing to be there and see them progress.

 

What else? Well I forget. The week has treated us well and the Lord is blessing Elder Fairbourn and I. Its so weird, I sometimes get so worked up and hate going out there to work but at the same time when I actually get out there I don't want to get back home. haha! So basically, you won't ever know how great the Work of Salvation is until you acutally take part in it!

 

I've got to get going, sorry for the lame e-mail yet again. If I could share a scripture this week it'd be in 3 Nephi 19:19-24

 

Jesus demonstrates how we should pray. He prays for the members of the church, and also for them to bless and inspire those who are NOT members of the church; He prays that they too will hear the words of those who already have been baptized. That's my prayer for all of you, if you're a member, to share the gospel. If you're not a member, to listen to the words of the missionaries and other memebrs of the Church of Jesus Christ!!! Finally, in verse 24 it shows that we rely on the spirit as we pray. It makes sense, we should always seek for Heavenly Father's will, and not just pray for things that are convenient or that will only benefit us.

 

Thanks for everything, for yoru letters and everything else. Love you all!

Four Elders!!!

No time people, NO TIME! This week's been great. We got the 2 new elders in Catford, it was funny, they got lost their first day on a bus! HAHA! But yeah they're adjusting pretty well i think

Conference was awesome. President Monson's talk really spoke to my soul, no kidding. I loved it. He's truly called of god. When something like this happens to President Monson (his wife dying) only a truly noble man would stand up and tell everyone that we all go through problems, so we've got to endure. 

Really no time at all to e-mail. Love you all for the e-mails, I'll rememmber to e-mail you next week! Hopefully.

Transfers!!

Hey everoyne, so basically things have been very stressful! Transfer calls are coming on Tuesday. I just got off the phoen with President Millar though, he says that I'm going to stay here with Elder Fairbourn for another transfer, and 2 more elders are moving in! Sweet!!!! So we're going to have to worry about managing that all together and everything. Oh well. But yeah I'm excited!!! I love Catford, being here 6 months is going to be legit.

 

Well anyways I can't think of what hapened in the week, I'm sitll getting over transfers basically. I don't know what is going to be in store this transfer but I hope everything will be well. We taught Druscillia again last week and she's still coming to church and keeping her commitments, so that's so cool. She's still set for baptism with her kids. I'll have to get a picture with them sometime!! Haha! We also saw loads of people who are potential investigators, so if we work hard with them and follow up with them we'll see more than enough success in Catford. 2 more Elders!!!!

 

Can't think of anything else at the moment. We're teaching a few new people, like Desmond, who is the non-member husband of a member of the ward, Alessia. Alessia is awesome. She's from Italy and is very open to share the gospel and everything. Speaking of which, we also saw the Amendola family who I maybe spoke of before, a family from Italy who moved into the ward. The brothers Jonathan and Salvatore are TOTALLY just like Timmy! Its crazy! They even like the same video games as them. HAHA. Holy cow. Anyways, I'll send a few pictures of them. But I have to get goign, thanks for the e-mails again everyone.
