Well yes it is official, i am still in good old Chorley (the Utah of
England). I have a new companion though. I must be doing something cause
this is my 3rd transfer, and my 3rd new comp ha ha ha!!! His name is
Elder McIntosh and he is from Lindon, Utah and has been out 9 months. He
is way cool, and it really is quite scary how much we are alike. Loved
the same bands, both DJ'ed, and are both really chilled out and laid
back. This is going to be a great Transfer, i can feel it already. Elder
Smith is now in Workington, which is way way way north, on the Scottish
border. He is in the Lake District, so i am very Jealous!!!!! The two
places that i really want to serve in are the Lake District (Cumbria),
and Wales. I mostly want to serve in Wales so that i can get a Welsh
badge!!!!! ha ha ha ha i know wrong reasons!
Anyways i am sorry for the this being on Friday again. Transfer days are
always hairy. I was in Preston all day long, and barely had time to do
anything really. So we are doing it on friday again. P-days have really
not been p-days this transfer at all. But i tell you what...... If the
rest of my mission goes by as fast as this last transfer did, i will be
home in a blink of an eye!!! It absolutely flew!!!!!!!!!! So much
happened, and it just flew past us! Its crazy what happens when you work
hard, cause thats what we did! Working is the key to making time fly
thats what i am learning. I was told early on that the days are long,
the weeks are short, the months fly, and the Transfer period just
doesn't even exist!!!!!!! SOOOOOO TRUE!!!!!!! Moving on!
We dated Karl for baptism yesterday, and it was the most amazing
experience!!!!! The spirit was so incredible, and he didn't even bat an
eye!!! This is my first real baptism!!! I am so excited!!!!!!!!! He was
truly prepared by the lord, and we can see it. In a lesson on Tuesday he
told us some really neat things. He said that the weekend that we ran
into him, he had been talking to his mom and telling her that he wanted
to get in touch with the missionaries. How amazing is that..... But it
gets better!!!! The day that we met him, he went a different way than he
usually did, and he really didn't know why he did!!!!!!!!! The day that
we met him, we only had a few minutes before an appointment so we were
going to stop by a potential investigator. This was a prepared
situation!!! The Lord has worked miracles in my life, and i am forever
grateful!!!!!! I will never ever ever forget this experience. This is
what a mission is all about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never been
happier!!!!
Study study study...... Never Stop Studying ok!!!!! It is amazing. Mom
you are right King Benjamin is a Rockstar. Between him Alma the Younger,
Abinadi, Ammon, Moroni, and all the others we can learn everything that
we need, and we can grow so much. I finished Alma today, and i absolutely
love the Book Of Mormon. I have never really read and studied it like i
am doing now. I would highly recommend it to anyone (oh wait i do
everyday). Read the Book of Mormon, and you will be happier. Study the
Book of Mormon, and you will learn how to keep that happiness in your
life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!
