Awesomeness at the end of the week...Callum was baptised!!!!

What's up guys!! Y'alright? 

Sorry about the shortness of all my emails last week. 

We didn't have too much time to email, unfortunately. 

It was a fun P-day though!

We went to a laser tag place with a few of the teams here in

Leicester. :) Today we should be going bowling or something. 

(The joys of having many missionaries!) 

This week was pretty dang good! 

As you know from last week, I am now with Elder Smith from

Jamaica. Kind of a cool tie as well, he knows Brayden Humphreys!!

(Member in my ward) Haha! 

Apparently they spoke at like a zone meeting or something 

before Smith came out on the mission. Haha:) 

Such a small world if you think about it..

 He's super cool! Really funny, relaxed, it's good stuff:)

He's just got that Jamaican vibe ya know. "Hey mon, no

problem!.....One Love🎶" Haha! He goes home in October so he's just

about done with the mish. But, the nice thing is, he is willing to work

if ya push him to it! :) Some missionaries just 

totally crash and burn at the end of the mission 

so it's good he's still willing to work!!

Overall not too too much happened other than 

awesomeness at the end of the week.....Callum was baptised!!!!

Yahoo!! :D It was so cool! He's doing well I believe. :) We had

most of the missionaries working in Leicester at his baptism and also

Elder Campbell came from Notts to see it. 

It was a neat experience for sure.

I always feel the Spirit super strong at baptisms. 

(If you have an opportunity to go to a baptism anytime soon...GO! It's great:)) 

But definitely was the highlight of the week for sure!:) 

He was found almost 2 months ago. 

His grandma is a less active member and the sisters 

in a different area found him and began teaching him.

Turns out he was in our area so we began to see him. He's pretty

legit! He didn't have a belief in God and his upbringing was quite

rough so it was cool to see him change and see his life change because

of the gosple!:) I guess the next step now is to try to get him to the

temple! Woo hoo!!

We were able to see the Chinese guys again as well! Unfortunately

they're not progressing too well at the moment. :/ We met them at this

super cool drum line thing in a park. They're way cool! It's just

a matter of being able to see them in a nice setting and be able to

talk more about the gospel and whatnot. 

Yup, life is pretty good right now! We will be trying to build up more

of a teaching pool as a district here so we shall see how that goes!

That's about it for now.

 Love ya peeps!

 Hope your weeks are jolly good! 

(I don't think I've heard anyone actually use that phrase

for real. Haha) 

Cheers mates!

We got to have some SWEET Gelato!

Yo yo guys what's up!! 

How's it going?? Life is pretty good right now!
We've had a pretty major change in the last couple of days but we will
get into that a bit later.;) The week has been really good though!
I apologise as well but I don't have a ton of time to write so this
may be a bit brief;)

One thing that has been happening the past weeks is we've been
getting loads of Chinese students that were working with. And the cool
thing is they bring their friends as well and so it's like free
referrals. But yeah! So we've been teaching loads of Chinese. Anyways,
one night we decided to go out to eat with the Ni Hao's! It was loads
of fun:))

We got to have some SWEET Gelato! 

Flip! Time is running out! So, the big news...there was an ET
(emergency transfer) in Nottingham so Campbell got et'd there and I
now have Elder Smith from Montego Bay, Jamaica. He's way sick!! So
this should be good for sure:) Well hey, sorry but I gots to go!! 

Love ya loads! 

Cheers.

What's up guys!! It's been a busy, busy week for sure! I think the

biggest news I have to share is........IM PAST MY YEAR MARK!!! I can't

believe it!:o Time absolutely flies! 

No doubt a lot has happened in the past year but it feels

 not so long ago that I was heading in

that plane leaving home, family, friends, and heading into the

unknown. But I can say that it has been an absolute great first year:)

It's all downhill from here...(time wise that is....probs not trials

wise though. Haha) For the year mark, we went to TGI Fridays to eat.

Burgers here are just not even close to the ones back home but they

were pretty decent!;) haha We told them it was my birthday as well.

(because in a very strange way, it kinda was. Oops! Haha) We burned

the shirt as well! There should be a video attached hopefully:D

It was a pretty eventful week! Before I forget...we finally got a

Persian Book of Mormon for the Iran Clan (3 Iranian guys I spoke of

last week). We went over to theirs and gave it to them. It literally

took us like 20 min to find the flipping Introduction! Haha In this

situation as well, they know so little English that they're basically

teaching themselves. We give them the Book, they read it amongst

themselves, and we dive in with Google Translate when we need to. Haha

They're such nice guys though! It'll be fun to see where it takes us:)

So we got some big news this week!! Some of the sister missionaries in

a different area have an investigator that is set up to be baptised on

August 20. They found out that he lives in our area so they had to

hand him off to us (sorry sisters!....blessings will come!) So it's

been super fun to be able to teach him! As of now, he seems like he's

still shooting for that and he's doing well:) Came to church with his

friend this week to our ward for the first time. We have some

legendary families in the ward that should be able to fellowship him

in well so that's good:)

We were blessed with some Chinese guys as well! One of them was a

potential that Campbell got a while back. His name is Allen. He saw us

walking in the street and came up to us waving to say "Herr-o!" (Sorry

but it's so true! Haha) We invited him to church and he brought two of

his friends to church as well! Tons of little miracles:) It was funny

as well because of the situation, we had to walk to church with all

the peeps. We arrived a bit late to church and some of the members

were wondering "Where are the missionaries!" But when we walked in

with like 5 people, it helped answer their questions.

 Blessings from God for sure!:)

Oh man...we met an absolute nutter this week!! His name is Gavinda.

 So we were walking through the park one day and we noticed this

guy standing all alone with this crystal ball in his hands like

playing with it. So we were like "Eh...what the heck. Let's do it!" We

asked him what he was doing. He explained that the crystal ball is for

levitation and he was meditating in a way. He had some time so we sat

down with him and spoke to him. We attempted to share the Book of

Mormon with him (and he accepted and wanted to read) but he quickly

got distracted and wanted to share with us what he thinks. He said

he's an extremely good healer and started going into how many guardian

angels he has. He pointed them out even!...he was like "I have one

there, one there, one there" as he's pointing to random places. Hahaha

He then described how with a spindle and a nut (and most likely hard

drugs as well) you can become some type of seer. 

Hahaha He was flipping nuts!

We had a fantastic lesson with the recent convert family from Italy!

They're so cool!! We taught them about the plan of salvation and it's

cool to see Eddy, the wife, learning all about the gospel. She wasn't

brought up with any beliefs or anything so this is a huge step in her

life. She's always been kinda scared about death and just overall all

the bad in life. We testified of the afterlife and how life continues.

By the end she was in tears!! The Spirit definitely told her that this

is true:) It's moments like that that make the mission so much fun!

But yeah, tomorrow we will teach them again and she's going to make a

nice Carbonara for us! Yes!!:D haha

So yeah, it was a good week for sure!! I'm loving it here:) Good area,

cool people. Mmmm:) Love ya loads! We shall speak to ya soon. 

Cheers!
