March 2
So family this week had been pretty normal it has been busy but
that's because we like it that way and try to plan it that way. some days after we
think we have finished planning we look at our schedule and and wonder
where we are going to fit dinner in. Most times lunch gets planed in
because our mornings aren't that busy but some days our evenings are so
packed that we have to split dinner into two parts.The first is snacks
to tide us over until 9 then we eat dinner. At 9 when we get into the
flat we put dinner on to cook and then we plan and then have dinner some
time around 9:30
ish. Don't think that every day is like that but some times usually
Wednesdays because we have games night at the chapel and it take about
an hour to walk there and it starts at 6:30
and we have to be there early to unlock the car park so people can come
in so we leave our flat at about 5 to get there and 4 is usually our
lesson with one of our investigators so we go from there house straight
to the chapel and then have dinner when we get back. There are also the
times that all of your plans fall through and you have plenty of time for
dinner at a normal hour. Some days I wish that things would just even
out and you can just plan things in perfectly but that seldom happens. This week we had a few days of both. Monday night everything fell
through so there was to much time. Tuesday we had a great day had a
lesson with A who is doing really well and I think will probably get
baptized next transfer then we went to our sign lesson/dinner
appointment with Antony, Then we went to ward council and when I was in
ward council I wondered if it would be any different all over the world
and how things would run or if they would be more or less efficient than
it is here. It was good we were able to update the ward on our
progress and ask for specific help, not just the someone to come teaching
with us that they all read and ignore on our progress records. We were
able to ask them face to face and get answers so that was good.
Wednesday we went out to a little village in our ward boundary. We rode
out there on an old rickety bus that I thought at times as I saw the next
rise in front of us that it would not make it but it did and we got out
to Tenbury, a cool little town that reminded me of some were
between Mountain Green and Morgan to big for Mt. Green to small for
Morgan but it was cool. we went out there to visit some less actives and
we had fun with that but none of them were home so we will probably
head out there maybe next week and try again. Then we went straight to
games night were we had loads of fun we had a great turn out both R
and A were there and we also had the support of the members so it
was a blast. Thursday we had exchange with Evesham and I stayed here
with Elder C and we had some fun we had coordination and then we
had a great lesson with Tony. (I was supper worried about the lesson
because Elder D usually does the majority of the lesson when it
comes to signing and he wasn't there) but Sister N came with us and
she has been signing for years so she just translated what I said and I
didn't even have to worry about doing the signs and so we taught him
about family history it was good. Then we went to the Nolan's for dinner
after and they are just loads of fun they remind me of our family in a
way.
Friday we had district meeting and then a load of lessons
planned but all of them cancelled on us and so we went to visit a
less active member. We were able to talk with him for a
while so that was good. but we were glad to just talk on his door step
because I finally understand what dad was talking about with houses that
you don't want to sit down in and his is one of them. He is such a nice
guy but he has major cleaning issues but the chat on the door step was
good we talked with him for about an 1/2 hour. Then we
went back and had dinner and did some late night finding. oh ya and
elder D did a baptismal interview for one of the sisters
investigators. Saturday we had his baptism and it was really cool Sister
S who got transferred received permission to come back for the
baptism and she was really excited for that, and Rory came to the
baptism and I think that got him excited so we are going to talk about
that with him tomorrow at our lesson. Sunday
we had A at church and that was really good and then out of the
blue a guy walks in and says that he has seen the light and that he want
to be Christian so we talked with him for a bit and then he came with
us to sacrament meeting and he even got up and bore his testimony about
how God has already helped him in his life and stuff, it was interesting
but good. Then we were able to participate in giving the gift of
the holy ghost and that was really cool it was like I could feel the
spirit flowing through me it was really cool. I haven't felt like that
since in the special prayer in the temple my first time. Then we went
and had dinner with a member and that was great especially because
we missed all the rain while we were in there.Love you all
