Hello Family and
Friends!
What an exciting week to
have had General a Conference close it off! It truly was a great day!
So Monday we had our
PDay and wound up going to Beamish Museum again. It was pretty cool! We got to
go to the mine and had some old fashioned fish and chips that apparently they
just fry differently...they tasted the same in my opinion. Anyways, then
we came back to Durham and did a few things here before going to a lesson who
cancelled...so we called Kevin and asked if we could meet up with him. He said
yes, so we grabbed Rei and went to have the lesson with him. We read with him
from the Book of Mormon and tried to explain our purpose as missionaries! Then
we rushed home and barely made it back!
Tuesday we had our
morning schedule and then went to try by a bunch of our potentials. None of
them were in, but we met this girl who invited us right into her house! So we
went in and talked to her a little. She doesn't have a belief in God, but she
wants to learn more! So we set a return appointment and went to our next
appointment which we had the wrong address for, so we missed :/ then we came
back to Durham to have tea with a new family! Then we went to the Ward FHE and
watched "How Rare A possession" and then played dominoes before
heading back home.
Wednesday we had
District Meeting in Newcastle with the Zone Leaders. So that was pretty good!
But it went for like two hours...so we were a little behind what we thought we
would be. Oh well! So we came back for companionship Study at the library and
then went to do some knocking, but only had ten minutes, so we headed to our
tea appointment and then went to meet our friend from the day before. We taught
the Restoration and she seemed really excited, so that's good!
Thursday we had a few
doctor appointments and then went to see Denise and had lunch with her! Then we
went and contacted a former investigator who is now a new investigator :) he is
pretty cool! The only problem is he owns a store, so he has a hard time getting
work off, but we can teach him at his store and it's all good :) Sundays will
be tricky though...then we went to try by a less active who wasn't in, so we
came back to have tea with John and Fiona and they took us to missionary
coordination!
Friday we had weekly
planning all morning and the Morgan's came to help us with our flat...so again,
we were a little late heading out, but it was ok! We went to get our flu shots and
then tried by a few more people and did finding in their areas before going to
see our friend again. We taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it was a pretty
good lesson! Then we came home.
Saturday we went to do
service at the animal shelter again. We got to help spray some kittens for
fleas and so that was fun! Then we had lunch and did a ton of street contacting
before heading to Rei's to watch the Saturday Morning Session live! Then we
came home for our tea break!
Sunday was a day of
Conference!! We did some street contacting in the morning to go to Rei's house
and had lunch with her before watching the Saturday Afternoon Session and then
we got a bus to our tea appointment and watched the Sunday Morning session and
then came home to watch the Women's session! So lots of spiritual inspiration
this day! Really, really good!
My Spiritual Thought for
the day is from Women's Conference: "The promises of praise and acceptance
by the world are unreliable, untrue, and unsatisfying. God’s promises are sure,
true, and joyful--now and forever."
-President Uchtdorf
If we can all focus more
on what He has to offer Han what the world has to offer, we will be so much
happier! I'm so thankful for the time to focus completely on Him and to hear
His voice so clearly telling me what to improve on! It's such a blessing to
know I am His child and that He will communicate with me.
Oh and by the way. We
had transfer calls this week. I am staying in Durham with Sister Luna. So no
changes for us :) and this is my last transfer! Time has flown...
Hope you have a great
week! Love you all!
Sister Hope
