Week 15

I love London. Sister S. and I have been working so hard the last couple of weeks! And we have acheived standards both weeks! wahoo! I would be completely happy if we were companions for the next 14 months! haah I love her. She is soo great, and just crazy all around.

The work is going so well.

I have to tell you about W. He is a 73 year old Jamaican man. He is out little beacon of light here :) He always says.."I'm alright you know, and Oh boy". We are hoping he is going to be baptized either this Sunday or on the 7th of September. He is just the sweetest, most humble man ever! And he wears this little hat, and perfectly tailored clothes. He is just darling. I'll have to get a picture somtime. (I'm so sad I lost all my pictures from my last transfer!)

Then we have the M. family. They are a part member family...who are just so ready to be baptized and know that it is true...we just can't get them to church. We have had rides set up and they always have an excuse...so we are trying to figure out what is going to happen there.

Then we are teaching a young girl who is great....but....we just aren't so sure about her intentions...she kind of has a crush on one of the elders in the ward...and is determined to be baptized by him...she reminds US of her baptismal date...it's all a little comical. But I'm sure it will ALL work out!

Then there is another awesome lady who is going to be baptized in September...she has stopped selling drugs, and has really come along way from where she was. She is just ready to clean up her life. She is amazing.

 

So here is the FUNNY story of the week......

So we were in an less active apartment complex and Sister S heard these bongo drums and so we knocked on the door.....the door unlocks..then we could tell that whoever was on the other side of the door was looking through the peep hole...then a long pause...and a Jamaican man appears just wearing a towel that he clearly just went and grabbed from the bathroom. At first we had a moment of awkwardness.....then we went on with our spilll....and since we were in real need of another new investigator for the week....we asked if there was another time we could come back- he obviously said another time would be better- ....and then we asked if we could pray with him...so we prayed with him as he was standing in the doorway just wearing a towel. :) It was halarious! haha

 

Scary story of the week.......

There was a fire on our apartment complex floor last night. We came home at 9 as usual...just to find firefighters and and sirens. So we did our planning session by the moon light on the curb. it was great.

 

Spiritual story of the week!

We taught the m. family an AWESOME lesson on Saturday night! We made a big roadmap to the temple for them...including...faith, repentence, Word of Wisdom, Baptism...etc. then...the temple! and we had candy bars for the kids' "cars". it was just so awesome to be with them and to feel the spirit so strongly! They are just an amazing family. I just wish we could get them progressing!

 

So I havene't had Diet Coke ALLL transfer!!!! or any kind of pop actually! So that's a real big deal for me! :) We totally ran out of food this past week...so I attached a picture of Sister S. eating brown sugar...disgusting! haha she is funny. Sister S. loves all of you..she just told me that- She watches the videos of Benson and Grant with me- they are so cute!

I love you alll sooooo much! life is great. The Gospel is True!!!!!

Muah!
