Easter Dinner

I'm glad you had a wonderful Easter! Yes we were invited to a members
home for dinner and it was absolutely delicious!!!!! It was a pretty
good day. I'm glad you enjoyed church and that daddy liked it as well.
That's sad about the thomasville area getting closed down :( But I'm
sure the other elders will make up for the losses.

Yes I got transferred. I'm moving to Cannock with Elder Siegel! He was
trained by Elder Cadwallader as well!!! This is his last transfer so
it will be interesting. I'm excited though. Yes, i will miss Nottingham
and Elder Tulip, but I'm excited for the new experiences ahead!
Here is my new address:
37 Hodson Way
Heath Hayes, England
WS11 7ZQ

I had started this email yesterday, but didn't get to finish
it...sorry I'm in Cannock now and its sweet! We did a lot of finding
yesterday and had some really good success! In 3 hours we found 4 new
potential investigators. One of them, named Neil, saw us as he was
driving by and decided to stop to talk to us. He got out of his car
and started walking towards us with this giant smile on his face.
Turns out that he stayed in Canada for 6 weeks to coach soccer and
boarded with a member family out there! He said he loved how close the
family was and how happy everyone seemed to be. He talked to us for a
while about his experience out there and about our missions. He
invited us over for next Tuesday so that we can have a chat with him
about the church and the gospel!!! Sweet eh?

We have a pretty packed day today with a couple service opportunities
and other people we need to visit. Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked
about this transfer!

On a more spiritual note, I have been really thinking about the basics
of the gospel this past week. Its interesting to me how every
principle, either big or small, can trace itself back to the simple
5-part gospel (faith, repentance, baptism, holy ghost, endurance). And
then even those principles all relate to the Atonement of Jesus
Christ. Everything that we believe should trace back to the Saviour.
If it doesn't, its not from God. Everybody in the world needs to be
taught of the Messiah. It is only through Him and the gospel that we
can be successful in this life. I love this gospel so very much and
I'm grateful for the leaders of the church who guide us towards the
Christ.
