Ted got baptised this past week! Oh I just love baptisms! The spirit is always so strong. Katarina is getting baptised this week! Both of
them came with us to Stake Conference and enjoyed it. My favourite part of Stake Conference was a musical item the choir performed. It was a beautiful
arrangement of 'Come thou fount', and I had tears in my eyes as I listened and
the Spirit touched my heart. I am so grateful for music. I think that beautiful
music can be one of the quickest ways to feel the Spirit and I just love it.
The weather is getting a lot colder and wetter which makes
finding new investigators more of a challenge, but we just keep going! We met
some great people on the street yesterday who will hopefully become new
investigators. One thing I love about Manchester is how diverse it is here!
I've met people from all over the world! I know that God is bringing people
here to hear the Gospel!
We are teaching a boy called Chris, and he has been
investigating the church for quite a while, and is pretty much living everything
but for some reason won't commit to being baptised. He says its something that he
wants, but something is holding him back and we just can't figure it out. So
I've been praying a lot, to know what we need to share with him that will help
him, and I had an amazing experience in my personal study where I was
completely guided by the Spirit to know what to share with him. I can't wait
for our next lesson to see how it goes!
I've really noticed this week how God helps me to know the
right things to say as I teach, and it's such an amazing thing to be a part of.
God knows our investigators personally, and as we prepare each morning, God
promises to reveal to us by the Spirit what we need to share with them. I
love how I feel when I teach. I am just filled with love from God.It's the best
feeling in the world.
I am determined to make this week the best of my
mission... time is going by so quickly and I want to make the most of it!
Also we found out that we get to go to the Temple next month
and I am beyond excited! More excited than Christmas! Those of you reading this
who have the opportunity to go to the Temple often, you are so lucky! I miss it
so much! It is in the temple where I feel closest to God. It's my most
favourite place to be. I invite you to go as much as you can!
