Happy new week everyone! Praise The Lord!
Another week down and another transfer down. Im staying here in London for another 6 weeks to finish training Elder Peck. Everyone though I was going to leave but I guess not! Glad to be staying here.
K so first thing, I played a special musical song in sacrament meeting this sunday. Since getting that keyboard in our apartment I have taught myself piano during our lunch and dinner hours and I basically wrote my own song! Now, I cant read music very well but I've learned to paly by ear. the song I made is about 3 mins long and I though it went quite well when I played it. Got a lot of compliments and I also played it in a fireside in Lexington that night. I love playing the piano.
On Friday we got to go to Lexington to go to zone meeting and it was awesome. I was asked to give a training on using the scriptures more and how to study the scriptures. Went quite well. Zone conferences, zone meetings and other conferences we have in the mission field are some of the greatest meetings I have ever been to. And I think the reason why is because everyone that is in those meetings have 100% of their lives devoted to the gospel. So I feel that these are once in a life time meetings to be at. They are wonderful.
Donielle whitaker, our recent convert who was baptized in Novemeber, got her temple recommend on sunday and will be going on the temple trip with the ward at the end of this month to do baptisms for the dead! It's super exciting. Shes doing pretty awesome. Still going strong.
Nothing new to say about Barbara and Jessi. Their converted, they want to be baptized, but now its just a waiting game on Barbara's divorce to happen. They just don't have the money to pay an attorney to do it now for them... So, we still see them and read with them but we are really focused on our new Investigators. We have about 3 now that we are teaching that are pretty new. Had a great first lesson with a lady named Tina. Talked to her on the streets a week ago. Her family is Pentecostal, which is super common around here, but she fell away from her church years ago and went through a lot of tuff but is now back on track and she just is so confused why every church says they are the right church. Just FYI for every one, there are about 231 churches in Laurel county.... people HAVE to wonder why are there so many different churches. And that's what she is wondering. She gladly agreed to read from the Book of Mormon and to read from it and we will be seeing her on Wednesday.
Excited for this new transfer. We are really working on making this a baptism transfer.
I love you all so much! I hit 17 months tomorrow! Only 7 more!
Heres a few pics from this week. First 2 are at the bike track at the park.
The next 2 are of these 2 huge dogs. They were both at members houses that we were eating dinner at.
And the last is of a trap that elder peck set up to try and catch a squirrel or a cat haha it was set off but didn't catch anything.
