3 months left?!?! Shocking

Hiya all!!!

I hope yall's week was as good as mine!!! Even though it rained, once again, every day this week, we had a lot of success!
Can you believe I really only have just over 3 months left?!?! Shocking.

Story #1 this week happened on Tuesday. We had a lesson with Neil and oh did it go well! We talked to him about our purpose as missionaries and how our teachings can improve the quality of his life. We spoke about how prayer can give us guidance. We talked about the restoration of the gospel and about the importance of prophet and the Priesthood. We also watched the Restoration DVD which he loved! He said he felt like Joseph, needing direction from God. He really liked the things we taught and I know that he felt the spirit. You could just see it in his eyes. We will hopefully see him tomorrow.

Story #2 So we were on exchange on Wednesday. I was here in Cannock with Elder Graydon from Northern Ireland. We went to try by this potential investigator, who ended up not being home. Instead, we decided to tract the houses next to the potential. While we were going to the next house, I saw this man walking out of his home. I started talking to him and asked him if he knew anyone who had just experience a death in their family that we could help. Turns out this guy just lost his parents and was feeling down. We got his details to go see him soon. Isn't it amazing that the spirit guided us in meeting this man. And the spirit guided me in what to say to him!!! This is the Lord's work!

Story #3 We were going to shop at Asda for food Monday evening and ran into this bloke named Theo. He is from Ghana and was speaking to us about how he was a Christian. We talked about the Book of Mormon and invited him to read 3 Nephi 11, of which he accepted. We set up an appointment to see him on Saturday. So we see him on Saturday and have an amazing lesson. He asked about why there are soooo many churches and how to tell which one is right. Perfect question for a missionary! haha We testified of the restoration and explained it in detail. He loved it. He came to church yesterday with his son and said that he liked how our church was operated :) Sweet eh?! We are going to see him on Saturday and hopefully will be able to invite him to be baptised!

Nonetheless, it was a briliant week! Elder Siegel and are are so excited about the work that's going on right now. In closing, I want to share some thoughts I received from Zone Conference this past Thursday. I felt impressed about our purpose in this life. We each, being a son or daughter of a loving Heavenly Father, have a wonderful privilege to bear testimony of God's love. We were borne to testify of Christ in our words and actions. I hope that each of us will live our lives so that we can live to testify.

Have a great week all!!!!!
Cheerio.
Godbless.
