Hello Lovies!
Well
I survived a week in our flat. Not going to lie, its bee a bit of a
tough week not being able to do the work I so badly want and need to do,
but I know its important to heal up 100 % before I go full speed ahead.
We did little bits and bobs here and there throughout the week. I have
really learnt a lot because I have had so much time to study and think
about things. I am truly so blessed looking back to last Friday. It is a
miracle and knows the Lord has big plans for me to do in England. I’m
learning patience, being humbled, and learning to more fully rely on the
Lord. I have so many people that have taken good care of us this week,
with meals and rides, so don’t worry mum I am being well taken care of
it and should be back to 110% hopefully at the end of this week, in the
mean time we get creative of ways to be productive in the Flat. Our area
book is past up to date, our LA lists, flawless, and ask me to recite
the movie the Lamb of God or the Restoration, I could do it no problem. I
have mastered making homemade cinnamon Rolls and flapjacks. But like I
said a week of Learning and I am grateful for it! Im feeling much
better, just my shoulder is a bit stiff still and my knee is a bit
tricky as well, but were getting it all taken care of it and I can feel
the prayers of many, because most people can not beleive how fast im
healing! Miracles happen eh??
When
I was in the hospital I recieved a blessing from Elder Taylor and Elder
Ak'abrand (sweedin). During the blessing it was incredible. For 1
minute everthing went silent, literally quiet. No loud nurses, laughing,
beeping of machines, everything was still and quiet. It was me, the
elders, and Heavenly Father, and the feeling of the spirit. I dont
remember much but do remeber them saying so confidently I Would have no
broken bones and would heal. The spirit was so strong, and their
confidence in the Lord also gave me confidence and had the feeling
everything would be ok. No doubts. So grateful for the experiences we
have in our life that help our testimony grow.
This week marked the end of my 5th
transfer and Derby got some exciting news! We got another set of
missionaries in Derby, so we now have 6 Missionaries I Derby! Elder
Patten and Maligon (from the Philipines), Elder Hess, and Elder Shipp,
and me and Sister Peronnet! 6 teams with lots of work to be done in
Derby! President has high expectations for Derby and we know we can
accomplish them. We have some big plans and can’t wait to put them into
action. The Dream Team
This
week we got a new investigator….like I said Heavenly Father is
continuing to bless me and our area. Eddie is from Zimbabwe and is the
Man! We found him on the street after getting a distinct prompting to
stop him. We set up and app and he cancelled and flogged once, but
Saturday we taught him the restoration and is excited about reading the
BOM and praying about it. He got called into work on Sunday or else he
would have been there. He left his other church because he just didn’t
“feel it” and said excitingly yes! To Baptism and said that is the whole
point he invited us over! We are really excited about Eddie as well!
Chris is progressing well and has now done 10 days with not smoking! He
is very proud of himself and also very committed to finding out if the
church is true or not. He wants so badly to know for himself and its
exciting to watch him continue to change each time we see him. Who knew
you could gain so much love for 32 year old man you met on the street 5
weeks ago. Another Blessing of the gospel.
Halloween was really exciting for us….haha. President said all missionaries had to be in our flats by 6 pm
due to past things (dodge) haha. So we decided to order some Pizza and
ice cream and watch Legecy together! Not too bad of a night really! What
did you all do for Halloween???
This week really has not been to exciting to be honest but everything is going well! Tell me about it Derek! I loved the 1st line of your email! What is it with Wengert and Cars! I tell you! But hey it does make a good mission story!
Ty
and Levi looked sooo cute in their wreck it Ralph and fix it felix
outfits and Teddi is the cutest nerd ever! I didnt get the other
halloween pictures
Life
is good, I got to teach 2 lessons this week, and Im learning so much
each day. I know the Lord does not give us anything we can not handle,
and he knows this would be no big deal for me haha! Im grateful for the
trials we have that allow us to grow stronger and better. If we did not
go through pain and hard things, we would never progress. I foud a new
favourite quote this week " I strive for perfection but am content with perfection" -Brad wilcox
This
saviour is the only way to perfection and we wont make it their now,
but we progress each day to get closer and closer! We are so blesed to
have this knowledge.
Derek!
Congrats on being called as a Trainer!! You learn so much while
training, and you always have a special bond with them. I love Sister
Andersen and she is my daughter and Sister Peronnet, my step daughter!
Im excited to see pictures of you and your greenie and You will be
suprised how much they teach you!
Take
care of everything at home, mum any idea if a costco card would work
better for me to get some things I need over here? There is a costco
here in Derby! Life is good, missionary work is amazing and the best
thing to be doing right now. Shayna Binnion may be getting baptised, the
lord truely does prepare Everyone to except the gospel someday! Press
