This week went by really fast! This email might be a little short, because I don't have a ton of time left! But it was a pretty good week.
Friday: We had a lesson with Alcina, and we read the Book of Mormon with her. It was a bit hard for her, because it is hard for her to switch from Portuguese to English, but she is doing really well. Wow the Book of Mormon is powerful. This evening we had correlation at Brother Handley's house in Gosport, and DADDY, we drove past the D-day beaches, so that was something pretty cool.
Saturday: we went to the sea shore in Netley and walked in the park with Emilia and Patrycja, and it was so fun, but I got sunburnt, haha. After we went to the sea shore, we had a dinner appointment with Sister Baker. She is always so nice, and we love visiting her.
Sunday: miraculous Sunday! Alcina's son Paul came to church!! And Emilia bore her testimony (she is 10) in sacrament!! We love Emilia... she is unable to get baptized right now due to some things at home, but she is amazing!
Monday: we had exchanges in Havant. I was with Sister Ripley, she is from Canada. She is so nice. Our exchange was funny haha. English weather is fantastic haha... 😂 we did a lot of drop bus in the evening, and we were trying to find this one less active members house and we could not find it for the life of us. And from about, 6-8:30 it was pouring!!! And we were outside the entire time. we got soaked... and I mean soaked, everything in my bag got wet, like everything was wet, and my umbrella turned inside out about 20 times from all of the wind haha. But during the whole time, instead of being miserable and complaining because we wanted to go inside, we decided we would sing hymns. And we sang them with all our hearts 😂! NO ONE was outside, but if they were, they would probably have been laughing at us.
Tuesday: we finished exchanges, so we got home a bit later. When we got home we went to the relief Society activity at the ward, it was great. It was a pretty good turn out.
This week has been great but at times hard! But that's life 😊. Something I have been thinking a lot about this week is the Mormon message called "Good things to come". I invite all of you to go and watch it because it is amazing! But I love at the end when Elder Holland says " Don't you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead" He also says " Some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven; but for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ, they come." This is so true. God is always showering blessings upon us. He is always cheering us on, because he KNOWS what we are going through. He knows how to succor his people. So we can't quit! We keep walking, we keep trying, because those blessings will come!! This is a promise given to each and everyone of us, from the best promise keeper, our loving Heavenly Father.
I love you. We got this!
Love, Sister Lund
