Sounds like the whole lot is doing well :) Going to concerts, football games, school, just living life really. Good stuff. ha Can you believe its already General Conference this weekend?! GET IN SON! This weekend is going to the best weekend ever!!! :) :) :) You best believe we are inviting everybody and their cats to General Conference! Who else can say they have a modern day prophet on the Earth,... Nobody. And that is what is so special about our Church! I freakin love it!! Cool. Enough about that.
Okie dokie. This week... Whoa. What a week.
I believe it is story time. >:)
Here we go.
Monday.
After writing you and talking about "What about Bob" and what have ya, we went to teach this family who is comprised of a mum and twins. The twins are 13 years old and wee lil lads. haha (I don't talk like that.) We went to their house with our Ward Mission Leader and taught the best lesson ever!! We shared with her "Hope of God's Light" and oh my days! The spirit was so strong and so we invited her to be baptised on the 26th of October and she accepted!!!! :) :) Geeezzz. Kip. WE FOUND A FAMILY! And the way we found her is a testimony of how you need to be exactly obedient on your mission! So we were on the bus about 2 weeks ago and Elder Nielson and I sat down, and across from us was this mother with a son. And inside of me I was having a little angel and devil moment. The angel was saying, you need to talk to these people. And the devil was saying, You are way too tired there is no reason to talk to them, you have been rejected all day. Just one won't matter. But I am happy to say I chose the angel and that was the best decision of my life! hahah When we first talked to her she said, "I am not interested in God." So we being cheeky lil monkeys said, "That's okay we are sharing a message about strengthening families, would you be interested" And so she agreed for us to come over. :) Angel >>> Devil. A little side fact she even cancelled our first appointment. But don't you worry we followed up and now she is getting baptised!! FOLLOW UP! :) And she even came to Church on Sunday and she is coming to G.C. as well :) You best believe when we came out of that lesson we were thinking.... Whoa. Did that just happen?
Next.
This story starts about two months ago. Elder Harding and I stopped this mother and a daughter who were walking there dogs and for some reason we immediately clicked. We started talking about God, but she was not interested in the slightest, but we still scheduled to go meet with them. And for about six weeks straight we made appointments, we got there, with a member, and they were not in. And so on Saturday we just stopped by with a member, because a different appointment cancelled. hahah So we get there and she is outside, and I was thinking, "AHA we got you now!" hehe But after doing a bit of chit chat we were welcomed to come inside and watch a quick video. And guess what Mormon message we watched for somebody who doesn't believe in God? HOPE OF GODS LIGHT. :) Best video ever! And while we were watching she started to cry.Afterwards we asked why she was crying, and she was being so tough to crack. She was saying things like, I don't know. Just feel like I want to. But we testified that what she felt was the spirit. Then she slowly started to open up. She then asked, "Why does God take all the good people?" "He took my dad, mum, and a few others. Why doesn't he take the murderers and those people?" Then we testified of life after death and I threw in the Kalena experience which is always a tear jerker. And oh my days! The spirit was just so strong! We invited her to Church but she declined. But we are going to see her tonight! And she is sooo good! She would make such a good member of the Church! And her daughter is asking questions like, "How do I come to know that God is there?" And just brilliant questions like that, and so tonight we are going to try to answer their questions, invite them to G.C. and to be baptised on the 26th of October! Please pray for us, and pray that the spirit is as strong as it was last time. Because the spirit the first time was so strong you could practically grab it. It was almost as if it was thick... don't even know if this is making sense, but it was crazy! And after the lesson Elder Nielson and I looked at each other and we were in amazement and thought, "Whoa. Did that just happen?"
Some remarkable things are happening in Luton. The Lord's hand is being revealed to us. It's amazing. To be honest though, its more humbling than anything. And to think that I might leave this area next transfer is sad. Transfers are next week already! Time flies! And Elder Nielson and I are prophesying that I am leaving.... So if you are sending post, make sure to send it no later than tomorrow. K. cool. Love you.
The more you pray for things to happen the more it does. I don't know if that is because you are looking for it more so, but I think that is one of the ways God shows his love for us. If we just simply ask for something we will get it. "Ask and ye shall receive." Its just that simple. If you want something ask. Then do all that you can do to get it, and the Lord will make up the rest. :)
I love you family. Stay strong. don't doubt. Have faith. Do something spontaneous this week. Do something that helps your spirits grow.
keep calm and read the Book of Mormon. :)
I love you!
Love,
Elder Dayton Wright
