Hello all!
This
week was good and crazy and everything! :) Our friend Jim accepted the
invite to baptism on the 30th of August! :D he's awesome and is already
very close to the spirit! We didn't see ANY of our investigators this week
except for Jim and there are 6 of them all together so that's 5 total.
:/ it was pretty lame. we're feeling a bit down on our numbers that we
had to report but we have a lot of appointments lined up for this week
so hopefully things will go well!
Our
district leader Elder Penmann asked me to give a training on humility
for our district meeting tomorrow so I've been studying up on that for
the past few days and it's a hard one! At least for me it's hard to
develop haha but as all christlike attributes not only is it a
commandment to be humble but it's mainly a loving invite to improve so
that our heavenly Father can bless us more. How awesome is that? This
will be the second time I've given a training and the last one was at
our last district meeting before transfers and I trained on what makes a
progressing investigator progressing? So.. goodness fun times I hope I
can teach my the spirit..!
Prayer
is definitely powerful the City Quay (key) Elders lost our keys haha!
They needed one set of ours to open the church to find their keys but
they were lost and then they lost ours a couple of hours later. Luckily
we have two sets to our flat but only one to the church. They prayed to
find them though and they did! In this big grass area of the park that
should have been impossible to find them in about 24 hours after they
lost them! I think it really helped them see the blessings of prayer.
(they
have a fan going in this library! It's perfectly fine in here, cold
outside and they have a fan!..... only in Scotland...)
we
also got to see The Singing Children of Africa! They are all from Kenya
and it is a charity that is founded by a member from Scotland. Her and
her husband went on holiday to Africa and were so appalled at the lack
of education and basically everything that they started a charity and
now their school funds I think 700 hundred childrens education! so a few
choice children come to Europe and sometimes the US and do a tour to
raise money. They range from the ages of 6 or 7 to about 12 and then 4 older
guys went along to help do the drums and stuff. It's really awesome.
Bought myself a bracelet and got to meet 2 of the teachers Grace and
Stella because they were staying at the homes of the members and they
were in our recent convert Lisa house so we shared a thought with them
when we went over and they came to church with us on sunday! Stella
walks an hour to church! I can understand why the church in Africa is
booming because people over there are so religious I mean their churches
are few and far away but so many of them take the day to gather
together in them even though they don't always have ceilings and usually
have dirt floor. Grace takes a bus for an hour and then walks 45 min to
her church! They are basically awesome! I have a few pics.
LOVE YOU ALL!
