Hope you have had a great week. My week flew by.
Thursday: We had a lesson with our friend Kerstin. She is from Germany and is only here in England every two weeks because her boyfriend lives here. So we are probably going to have to pass her over to the missionaries in Germany, and then when she is here we can teach her as well... which will be interesting. This evening we had a lesson with Jo and Peter, which was okay. We don’t really know what to do with them, because they aren’t really progressing.
Friday: We had district meeting with the Zion District (VC sisters and the office elders), that was really fun. And bonus... we got to see the temple! This evening we went to a dinner appointment with the Marcos family. They are lovely. Their son Dillon is preparing for baptism and he is being taught by the Elders, which has been a bit difficult because he has some behavioral issues. But they got priesthood blessings on Thursday, and we just felt really prompted to write the blessings down so that they could always remember them. So we spent some time having Debi try to remember the blessings, so we could write them down for them.
Saturday: We did mission finding today for an hour... and oh boy let me tell ya...haha it was a bit of a rollercoaster. It started off really rough, but at the end we saw a big miracle. We started off with contacting people on the street and nobody wanted to listen. And then we did some park contacting/bench contacting.... no one was having that either, so we decided to do some knocking... we knocked a whole street of doors and no one answered... so we said a prayer and said we will knock two more doors. We knocked the first one, and no one answered... then the last door, John answered, and he told us that we could come back and that he has two friends that he wants to bring along! Miracles!! We had a lesson with Peter and Jo, and it was good, but they can’t make up their minds. But Jo being all motherly, made me drink a vitamin C drink and gave me a whole container of Vitamin C to drink to get rid of my cold. haha
Sunday: it was a good day. Our friend Dave came to church and brought his daughter Georgina, and they really enjoyed it. This evening we travelled to Brighton, to do finding with the Brighton district in our zone. Brighton is known for being interesting, haha and it definitely was an experience. But we did an activity to make the finding a little more interesting, so we did like an “amazing race”. So that was fun!
Monday: we did a lot of Accounting ( meetings to see the progress of the missionary work in our areas and zone) which was good. This evening we had a dinner appointment with a recent convert named Charlie. She is such a sweetie.
Tuesday: we went to Horley to drop by a less active family. They weren't able to meet today but we will hopefully see them on Monday. And then we met up with Izzy who is actually an investigator of the Elders, but she occasionally meets with the sisters. She is lovely! This evening we had a dinner appointment with the Clarke family. They are amazing. They do like emergency foster placements. So they were telling us a little about how that works. So cool. Then we had correlation and ward council at the chapel.
My week was great. It really went so fast! I love the talk “The Heart of the Widow”. Where it says “The heart of the widow who gave her two mites is a heart that will give all by making sacrifices; by enduring hardship, persecution, and rejection; and by bearing burdens of many kinds. The heart of the widow is a heart that senses, feels, and knows the light of truth and will give anything to embrace that truth. It also helps others to see that same light and come to the same measure of eternal happiness and joy. Finally, the heart of the widow is defined by a willingness to give all for building up the kingdom of God on the Earth”. I know that one of the biggest tests in this life is sacrifice. Heavenly Father is and will test us to see if we are willing to sacrifice anything and everything just for him.
I hope you have a great week. I love you so much! We can do hard things. We got this!
Love,
Sister Lund
