Mum,
I loved your testimony about the Saviour. If I learned nothing else on my
mission at least my testimony of the Saviour has been very strengthened. I love
Him so much. SO MUCH. He is too good to me.
So I
went on 2 exchanges this week. I got to go up to Edinburgh with Elder Tang, and
we did a lot of cool finding up there. It's a lot easier to find in Edinburgh.
The people are a lot more willing to talk. In Dumfries it is a little harder--Small town vs. Big city. On Monday some members asked us to come over
and do some service for them, so we got to rip out some huge trees, and I felt
like the Hulk.
We
gave Steven a baptismal date. He is scheduled for the 21st of November. We
are really excited. He is coming along really well. I love him so much. It is
different to teach him because we have to be really simple, but it is helping me
really know and understand what I am teaching. It's awesome!
I got
to go on an exchange with Elder Swenson as well. He is a stud. I love him. He
is a great singer and so we just jammed the whole time. We even did some
freestyle rapping. I am lousy compared to Russ, though.
My
district got a little change this week. Some Elders had to go home early, so a
few people had to be moved quickly. Elder Stevens from my district went to go
be a district leader in Leith. I was so pumped when I heard. He is going to be
an amazing District Leader. He is very smart and listens to the spirit.
On
Friday Faye invited us over for dinner, so we took a guy visiting from the
Czech Republic with us. He is awesome and a really friendly man. It was a great
lesson, and we really stressed how important it is to be coming to church. It
worked! She came to church on Sunday. We were sitting in Sunday School
and they were reading in Acts talking about Paul helping bring people to
Christ. She looked at Elder Lampropoulos and I for a second and then leaned over
to me and said "You two are my Paul." I may or may not have cried...
Haha. It was so sweet, and I was so happy to hear it. I can't understand how we
can love people so much that are complete strangers, but really we aren't
strangers, are we?
It
was a great week. The BEST part though: I got a call from Belfast on
Saturday night. I answered the phone and it was James!! He had called me
to tell me that he had just been baptized! It was the greatest moment of my
whole life. He told me that it never would have happened without me. It was the
greatest thing anyone has ever said to me. He is one of my favorite people
ever. I know we were friends in the life before this. He is amazing. I started
to cry, and he laughed and said "Are you crying?" I said
"Maybe" haha. I am so happy for him. It fills me with light.
I
love you so much.
Keep
Fighting the Good Fight
