Well I am glad to hear that everything is going well back home. I am
glad to hear that you got some rain too. Autumn has really started to
set in here. It has been raining more, and colder. The days are getting
shorter, and I hear that in not too long it will be dark at 4 o'clock.
Yea I am not looking forward to that at all. Be thankful that your
summer still has some months left, cause mine is virtually over. Once
September hits, its all over!!!!!! HA HA HA!!!
So anyways moving on with this week... We are actually seeing a lot of
opposition this week. We have had some other really heated words, and
threats, and its quite scary sometimes. I am not worried though because
I know that the Lord is on our side, and as we see in the Book Of Mormon
time and time again, the lord always protects those that are on his
side. We just keep moving on and praying a lot, and we are always kept
safe.
Karl's baptism is scheduled for Aug. 30th, but right now we are
concerned. We have been trying to see him everyday, but yesterday
something really really strange happened. His Grandma (we think, we have
never met her before) answered the door and said that he wasn't feeling
well. That's cool enough, we understand that, but then she said
something else. She said that we should leave it until after the bank
holiday... SO NEXT TUESDAY!!!!!! Ummmmmm yea that's a bit concerning. We
don't really know what is going on. It may have just been her not
wanting us to see him. It could have been something else, we don't know.
We are very concerned and worried, and we are praying very very very
very hard! Please pray for Karl, and for his family!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He
really needs the prayers of the people right now. I think that his
family may be giving him opposition, and that is never a good thing. We
are trying to call him, and we are probably going to stop by tonight
(because we have an appointment), and hopefully we can get everything
worked out. Prayer is amazing, and I know that through prayer we can see
miracles.
As for me I am doing good. I am struggling with the fact that people do
things like this to us, but E. McIntosh is really helping. He has been
through it before, and knows how it goes. We are devising really good
ways to cheer up when we are down. Its usually through playing games of
guess that lyric or something funny like that. We have been walking A
LOT lately trying to contact some potentials that we have, so my shoes
are really taking a beating. But that's what a mission is all about
right? Its great fun.
I am still learning so so much and I am loving the time that I have to
study everyday!!! I am really starting to understand the importance of
using the recourses that we to use. I am trying to study as hard as I
can so that the lord can give me what I need to say at the very moment
that I need it. I know that he will do that, and it makes me happy when
I experience it!!
Have a great week, and remember to study and pray always
LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
