Fam.
Whats good?! How's the autumn time treating all yall? The pictures mum sent were wonderful! To be honest the only reason why I am looking forward to coming home next year is to see Keo. Not Frenchie. Just Keo. Frenchie is a diva, and really annoying. :) And then there is Keo who is full of life and just goes with the flow :) Keo > Frenchie.:) I am sorry to hear that Shananu lost her game, but you win some, you lose some, you just hope you win more than you lose. But don't you worry girlfriend next year when I am coaching with Steiner and Castle we will go all the way baby! :) haha The football game looked sooo much fun. Ugh. I miss going to those with you Poppy! It was a real nail bitter as well, that's always a plus :) Don't you worry though, next year we will go to one, just like the "good ol days" :)
Alrigh fam, so there is a song that describes exactly how I feel, and it goes like this....
I am so blessed. I have more than I deserve, I thank god for all I have been given at the end of every dayyyy, I am so blessed. -forgot. (some country singer.) ha But these few lines describe exactly how I feel. I feel blessed and humbled. We have had unusual success lately and it humbles me. ha That sounds as if we never have success, but we definitely are always successful just these past few weeks have been brilliant! :) haha
So last week as you all know we had David's baptism which was great and we had 5 people at Church. Which is a pant load for us. I think the most my companion and I have ever had is two and that is throughout my whole mission experience. Soo... I am so blessed.
This week though, was smashing! You know how Debbie is petrified of water? Well we talked to her about baptism and why she needs to be baptised and she accepted a date for the 15th of November, and she will receive the Holy Ghost on the 16th :) :) B.D.E. for that reason and another one. Their faith is improving so so so much! They came to Church again yesterday, that's three weeks in a row, they thought it was a bit long, but the primary did their programme and it was lovely! It reminded me of back at home how all the kids(Tate Anderson mostly) would always be up there waving at their parents and making silly faces, goodness, it's too great! I love the primary children! :) So they enjoyed that, and as well during the programme Debbie received a "witness" of why she needs to be baptised! They were talking about temples and baptisms for the dead and sadly her dad has passed away and she really wants to know if she can be with him again, so when the primary kids were talking about this the spirit touched her soul!! :) WEHU! I call it a wehu bar, you know like WEHU! :-) So that's Debbie and Shannon. We see them everyday and life is good with them. Oh by the way a miracle happened with them. Their cousin is a member of the Church :) Booyaa Baby!
We have this investigator that we meant on the street, by just offering him a free Book of Mormon and he said,
Yes!
So we were like "Wait, why would you like it?"
Dan said, "Because it talks about God, right?"
Yes, Yes it does. Do you have a belief in God?
Then he went on to explain how he has this belief In God and all of that good stuff. But what really caught our attention was he only has one arm. So we taught him about the resurrection and it really touched him, so we set up an appointment to see him on Saturday.
Saturday comes along and no "one arm Dan." (that's what we call him hehe) #gutted.
That night we text Dan and say, "We will see you at Church tomorrow at 10. ya?".... No response.
get to Church, 9.30 we receive a text from Dan saying, "I am by Stockwood park. Come pick me up."
Boy were we buzzin! We headed to the park, but it took us 45 minutes to find him, but when we found him he brought his mother and father! :) :) #iamsoblessed So we talked about what would happen at Church as we walked and when we got there they loved it! The mum was participating in our Gospel Principles class, they loved the primary programme, just everything went great! :) It truly was a miracle, because we have been praying to find a 2nd counsellor for our bishopric, because there are not enough Priesthood men for one. And you never know Tony (Dan's Dad) just might be the one :) :) Yaa buddy! #humbled.
For two weeks in a row now, we have had five investigators at Church! Geez... That's crazy! Now you know why I feel so blessed, because it truly is more than what we deserve. But you best believe in every prayer (which is about 20 plus a day) we thank Him for everything. If there is one thing I have learned its that you need to rely on the Lord for everything. And not just ask for something, but ask specifically. We didn't just want any family, we wanted a family, with a "normal" dad who could be a 2nd counsellor... And you never know with the Lord's help we may have stumbled upon him :) Crazy!
But yes this week has been lovely! Our companionship is doing great! I love the people we are teaching, but most of all "I am so blessed, I have more than I deserve, I thank God for all I have been given at the end of every dayyyy! I am so blessed." :) Thank you family and friends for all that you do! It's because of your prayers and your support that Miracles are happening in Luton :) Cheers.
Love you! Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Elda Dayton Wright
