Happy Valentines Day! Boy do I love you!! This week was pretty good! I hope your week was good too!!
Thursday: Today was so good! We got to go to District meeting, which means we got to see our friends in Brighton! Woohoo! The District meeting was good.. However Elder Sly had me lead the music, probably because my cute companion can play the piano, so everyone naturally assumes that I can lead... haha nope. So that was interesting. I have had to do it quite a few times... maybe it's Heavenly Father's way of telling me that I need to learn how to do it!? After District meeting we traveled back and did some finding, and then we went to visit Charlie. I just love her. She is so sweet! She told us her conversion story and how it took about 4ish years for her to join the church! But she told us how much the gospel of Jesus Christ has changed her life! Same Charlie... Same!
Friday: We had a companionship study over Skype with Sister Gaston and Sister Teriamano. It was so helpful, and it was good to see and study with Sister Gaston again... my cute little french companion! 😍 This evening we had a lesson with Mark and Carolyn. They are a really nice couple. The lesson was really good. They told us that they are pretty interested in learning, but they aren't so sure if they are ready to make any changes in their lives...
Saturday: We had a Skype lesson with Izzy. She was in Kent all week, so we couldn't teach her until today. She looked so sad! And she just kept telling us that she didn't know what she should do, whether she should get baptized or not. She is pretty confused right now! After the lesson with Izzy we went to East Grinstead and did finding with our friends in that area! Always a good day when you get to be with other missionaries!! And we saw loads of miracles! So that was great! This evening we tried making brownies for the Corrigans, because it was their birthdays this week... It did not turn out well. I swear I used to be able to bake... I'm just going to blame it on the oven... But really though our oven is very dodgy.
Sunday: Miracle! Izzy came to church, and in Gospel Principles the lesson was how we can overcome stress and find peace in Christ. Perfect for Izzy! This evening we had a dinner appointment with the Hunts! It was so fun, they are such a funny family. Ali Hunt told me that I am always welcome to come back and visit them! Awh... I just love the people here... they are amazing!
Monday: We had accounting like normal, so that was good. Then we traveled to Horsham and we had a lesson with Izzy in this cute little tea shop called "Pretty Things" everything was pink... it was great!! 🤗 The lesson with her went okay. She told us that she knows she is ready for baptism, but she still doesn't know what to do. So we are really trying to help her overcome her fears. This evening we had a lesson with our friend Flavio... which awkward story... because of his accent I thought his name was Flavier, so that is what I have been calling him this whole time... whoopsies... But he is really kind, and willing to learn, we just aren't so sure yet if he is willing to make changes.
Tuesday: Today was great. We were on exchange with the Eastbourne sisters. I was with Sister Hulldin. She is absolutely adorable. She is adjusting to being a new missionary, but she is fabulous!!! We did lots of finding, and she was asking such great questions! I was very proud of her! Our schedule changed like 10,000 times today.. okay that is an exaggeration but still it changed so much... but blessed are the flexible, and we still saw lots of miracles!
This week I have been thinking a lot about one of my favorite scriptures in the Book of Mormon; 3 Nephi 9:13-14. I love how Christ is telling the people to repent, and to turn unto him so that he can heal them, and he says that he is merciful and that his arm will always be extended towards us, and then he finishes by saying "blessed are those that come unto me". This scripture has really being tugging at my heart strings this week! I am so grateful for my Savior. How amazing is it that he is ALWAYS extending his mercy towards us... meaning his mercy never ceases. I love being able to share that message with people!
I hope that you all have a great week! I hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! I am so grateful for you!
Love,
Sister Abbie Lund
