So.. this will be the first november since freshmen year in high school that I haven't participated in no-shave november! so please pray for me as I have to make that sacrafice. Just kidding haha I'm so used to shaving every day and It's weird to me that I used to have a beard!
This week was alright! kind of slow unfortunately. On Tuesday we had a feeling that we should postpone Louise's baptism a week, and so we prayed about it Tuesday
night and the feelings was confirmed that we needed to wait another
week. It's ok though, because she honestly has no concerns. We're not
sure why we needed to postpone it, but we'll find out someday! On Tuesday
we also got to teach Amy, and had another solid lesson with her! she is
really progressing! she called us this week and was like "Guys, I need
your help.. It's totally fine if this is too much work for you, but can
you guys assign me something to read in the Book of Mormon every day so I
can learn something new every day??" Obviously we have made time for
her to read something new every day, and she is loving the book of
mormon! see the picture attatched as to where we taught the lesson on Thursday
with her! in her back garden is a breathtaking view of a typical
English country-side. She is really progressing and I'm so stoked to
hear about how everything goes with her.
There is a sister in our ward named Sister Rigby, and she conducts
this class at the Eastwood Chapel called, motiv8u, it's a
self-improvement course for us to bring our investigators/anyone who
wants to come to better our lives! The things I have learned have been
really great and I'm stoked to see my improvement as a missionary
because of it. It's amazing how many of the things we learned that we
can relate to the gospel, and how all of it has to do with the
atonement, the source of our strength!
Sunday
was extremely emotional for me! as you know, i'm a bit of cry baby when
it comes to goodbye's! it was so hard for me to leave the chapel on Sunday,
saying goodbye to the people that have served me so much over the past 7
months, they are all amazing people and I can't wait to be come back
and visit them! After Church, we had a feast at the Marinas home, and
had a really spiritual testimony meeting. After, Ruby asked me to go s
ay s omething that I've learned from everyone in the room, which
resulted in a bunch of more tears, and I couldn't even start talking
about Elder Pogue because I would have just lost it and wouldn't have
been able to talk! To say the least, I have loved my 7 months in
Eastwood, and it's looking promising that I will be headed somewhere
else on wednesday! Somewhere new to learn and grow as a missionary and a representative of the savior Jesus Christ.
Spiritual thought: Genesis 18:14. Is there anything too hard for the lord??...... no! Short and sweet but so true!
So sweet to see Spencer bossin' it up with his girlfriend! that's
ma boi! good for the cougars, getting the big win against BSU, a team
that we have struggled against so much in the past few years. so-for
some other news, I've decided that I'm going to go back to USU. for
sure. I love it too much and I feel the spirit telling me that's where I
need to go! I needed to make a decision because I think it was getting
in the way of the missionary work. I love you guys, and in a week I will
be emailing you from somewhere else in the U.K! be good.
I got the package! the best part about it?? the goldfish! I've been
munching on that stuff all the time! thank you for everything and it
really is a great package!
Love you guys!
Elder Sam Harris.
