Hello one and all!
So I had an amazing pday on Monday! We went in the morning to see the
seals! It was so great! They were so cute and we truly had a great time seeing them! Then we did our shopping and went to crash at the Fox Family's house to email and we watched The Secret Life of Pets. Then we had tea with them. New favorite parenting technique: "Son, we don't lick people, we lick ice cream!" Then we had a family home evening with them on the Restoration and that was really great! Then we went to Jane and Andy's to teach them. We went over the Gospel of Jesus Christ again with our fancy footprints, then it was time to come in. Thank goodness because it is getting so cold.
Tuesday we went to go have a lesson with Sheila, but she cancelled since she wasn't feeling well. So we did some knocking and a lot of street contacting. We're still having trouble finding people who will accept a return appointment, but we're having good conversations with people! So that's a plus! Then we came in for lunch and then caught the bus to Mablethorpe so we could go have a lesson with Stuart. We taught him about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and he said he thinks this is the right path for him! So that's great news! Then we came in for 12 weeks and caught the bus to Grimsby to spend the night there.
Wednesday we woke up early and went to Hull for Zone Training. The theme was fruit ninjas because we've been told to focus on the "fruits" of the gospel with our investigators and we're going to slay that! It's a little cheesy, it all's good. We really enjoyed it and had some great personal revelation there. Then we got lunch and travelled back. We got back in time to have a quick dinner and then go to the Branch Relief Society Christmas Party. We didn't realise that was a full meal either. So we operate a little that night, but oh well! English sweets are amazing and we need to enjoy them while we can!
Thursday we did a lot of finding and knocking. Some people have told us we could stop by again and follow up on what they thought of the Christmas Video. So we're going to do that! Then we had lunch and went to Mablethorpe again. It was interesting because we had planned to stay in Louth and then catch the bus in an hour. But we both felt we needed to go. So we did. And we ran into this guy named David. Now David wasn't interested, he made that quite clear. But he said he had been having a hard day and he thanked us for brightening it up for him. We thought that was so cool that Heavenly Father knew him well enough to send us to him just to brighten his day. Obviously Heavenly Father knew his heart and knew he wouldn't necessarily meet with us again but that was what he needed that day. I'm so glad we were able to follow that prompting! Then we walked over to Brother Izzards house and met Stuart there. It was kinda funny because Brother Izzard had double booked his house, so the home teachers were also there. It was good though so Stuart got to see what Home teaching was all about and he even asked for a blessing! So that was really great! Then we had a lesson with him about the Plan of Salvation through our life here on Earth. Then we had tea with the Izzards and came back to Louth! So yeah! It was a great day!
Friday we had weekly planning of course and then lunch. It was really good! We spent a little extra time planning than normal, but we had some great ideas and inspiration, so it was worth it! Then we did some
more knocking and street contacting before going to the library for Mormon.org time. I listened to the Christmas Devotional and it was amazing! So I did that while putting pictures on my flash drive and
changing the footprints again. I just keep changing my mind! But it's done now...I hope. So we then went to help Jackie with what we thought would be an easy service project. She got a new bed and it's memory
foam, so we thought she just wanted help setting it up. What we didn't realise was she wanted help setting up the bed frame as well. So we got it done most of the way and then had to run off to tea with the Wilsons. So we had plans to go back and finish, but she texted us that she got a burst of adrenaline and finished it (meaning her son showed up and she made him do it)
Saturday was a wedding day. So we went to David and Taylor's wedding in Grimsby. It was kinda funny because it literally took 10 minutes. But that's ok! Then we came in for lunch and did some finding. Then we were in the middle of 12 Weeks and got a call from our district leader that transfer calls were being moved to tonight! So we still went to the reception, but could only stay 30 minutes and then came in for transfer calls. We are both staying in Louth for 7 more weeks! So that was good news!
Sunday we went to church and had a great day there! It was such a good lesson! Then we went to the Johnsons for lunch. Which was absolutely delicious! But they live really far away. So by the time we left church, travelled there, had lunch, had a spiritual thought, and drove back...it was 5. So we went to have a short lesson with Jackie and sync our iPads. Then we came in for tea and 12 weeks. So it was a short day but good nonetheless!
My spiritual thought this week comes from Elder Neil L. Andersen's talk "The Book of Mormon: Strengthening Our Faith in Jesus Christ" "Faith in Jesus Christ, when solidly anchored in our souls, brings true conversion...and enduring righteousness." I know that faith can bring miracles. Sometimes that greatest miracle is ourselves. We become better because of our faith. We become the people that others want to be like. We become who Heavenly Father wants us to become and who Jesus Christ died that we may become. Stay true to your faith. Faith is our greatest blessing!
Love you all and hope you have a great week and are finding ways to light the World and put Christ back in Christmas this season!
Merry Christmas!
