Wednesday: P-days are always great! But this evening we were able to go to Bishop King's house and have dinner with his family. Their family is amazing! His wife Sarah is actually from New York. But they have 4 kids! They are the best!
Thursday: We had some very interesting experiences today!! It's crazy what people think about Mormons! They hear the WEIRDEST things!! So it's funny to see people's reactions when we tell them who Mormons really are... they're like "wow, your like real people" haha... yes, yes we are!! We were able to go and see one of our friends. She was a referral from a less active in our ward. Her name is Victoria! She is so kind, and she is really interested in the gospel. She is especially interested in temples! So it has been really fun to teach her!
Friday: We had district meeting today! And I loved it! We did role plays to practice how we can help members with their goals! That is something that our mission has really been trying to focus on. We are really trying to get the members more involved in missionary work! But like always our district meetings never end on time so we got back to our flat later than expected haha. So we had enough time to finish our studies, and go to one of our investigators house!
Saturday: It was so rainy today!!! And we don't understand how to turn our heater on so we just put on a lot of layers!! But today was a topsy-turvy day! We normally do weekly planning on Fridays but since we had district meeting yesterday we didn't have time to do it. So we started off today with weekly planning. After we finished with that all of appointments started to fall through! So we decided that we would go to one of our members house and do a GROW (teaching) with her. MIRACLE!!! Normally she works but she had tonight off! But man oh man can she talk! We were there for about an hour and 15 minutes and we were trying to leave haha, but then her nephew walked in the door MIRACLE! He has been a less active for about 4 years and he is married and has two kids! And he said that he is really interested in meeting with us! So that was super exciting, God puts us exactly were we need to be at the right time!!
Sunday: So today was a day full of miracles.... I know I say that a lot, but I will probably continue to say it! God is a God of miracles!! So since we are meeting in Bexley Grammar school, we only had sacrament meeting today because a pipe burst and they didn't have any running water. But oh my goodness! Testimony meeting was amazing. Maureen has been a member for about 15 years and she has never born her testimony until today!!! She did so well ☺️ MIRACLE: a man we met on the bus named Jabulani came to church! We haven't ever met with him but we invited him to come to church and he came!!! We were freaking out, he said he really liked it, and that he felt the spirit and that he wants to learn more about the gospel! After church we had lunch at a members house with a couple of her friends that aren't members, they aren't interested, but we were still able to share a message with them and it was great to meet them. I love your selfie Sundays! Keep them coming!! You both look so good! It looks like you have both lost weight, what's your secret haha😉
Monday: Today we were on exchanges, so I was with sister Bove, I LOVE HER! She is from Honduras but she lives in Spain. She came out the same time I did. So let's just say it was an adventure today.... you know that I am not good with directions in Utah, and we have Mountains... so you can imagine how I am here haha. But it was really good, we were able to visit with a LA in our ward, and she fed us food. Really really spicy African food. We eat a lot of African (Nigerian food) here. I'm not a huge fan of Nigerian food, but I'm thankful for their kindness! The lesson went really well! She really likes to talk too! Then we decided that we would go to Thamesmead and go to one of our friends house that we tracked into the week before. She didn't end up being home, but we met her sister Abi, and gave her a card. But it was okay because we met two people on the bus that gave us all their contact info, because they wanted to learn more! It was a good day, we learned a lot.
Tuesday: I loved today! Today was the best!! We went to a Chinese restaurant really close to our flat. It wasn't bad, buts it's no Golden Jade 😉. After we finished our exchanges we went to our friend Pam's for a lesson. She REALLY opened up to us and asked us so many questions. I really feel like she is someone who is going to be baptized. She just needs time! The spirit we felt was amazing! Later in the evening we had a Skype lesson with another one of our friends Enrique. He is interested, but he loves his faith, so it's been a little difficult to teach him because he really likes to talk. Today was sooooo good though!!
This week is a finding harvest week... meaning we are trying to find as many people as we can to teach! And can I just tell you again that God IS a God of miracles! The harvest really is here. God is preparing His people all over the world. All He asks is that we open our mouths. He doesn't say that we need to be perfect, He just wants us to try! I love you all, and I loved hearing what you liked from conference! Have a great week! And remember how much I love you. We can do hard things! Attitude IS everything!
Love, Sister Lund
