HELLO FAMILY!!!!!!
Well I am glad that you have nice and warm weather, cause I am sitting in a very gloomy, cold, and wet Wigan right now. It is definitely October, and it has been for the past few days. It’s alright though. I pulled out my big coat, gloves, and scarf yesterday in preparation for the deep freeze that I know is on its way. I only used the coat, but I know that the other gear will be short to follow. I like the change of seasons though, cause it means that winter is on the way. Even though I can’t snowboard, I can be happy knowing that the possibility is there if the situation was different ha ha ha!!!!!
We had a baptism in the ward yesterday. It was a girl named Bailey. She is 8 years old, and is the sister of our investigator Ashley. Ashley is getting baptised next week!!!! I think that I have told you about Ashley, but she is amazing! I have been so blessed to teach and Baptise nothing but amazing people! We are so excited for Ashley. She is getting baptised on Sunday the 25th, and then because of some crazy things, she is not getting confirmed until the following Sunday. Odd I know, but she is 13, and I really don’t think that she is going to go out and break any commandments in that week. She is way too cool to do that. Anyways I will send you some pictures next week. It has been a total dream to teach her! Her sisters baptism was really cool, and Elder Boahene and I got to stand in the circle for the confirmation. It was, as always, an amazing experience!!!!! I love being a missionary!
Being a district leader just keeps on being more and more fun. I am like the first resource for struggling missionaries, and boy this transfer has been full of that. I have really learned a lot about the scriptures and how much advice and guidance they give us. They have been my main source that I send the missionaries to. I have studied for them, and in doing so felt a much greater love for every one of them. I have learned something about myself as well….. I LOVE THE SCRIPTURES, AND I KNOW THEM!!! You knew me before my mission. I really didn’t have a clue when it came to the scriptures, but now I do. I know the stories, I know the people, and I know the doctrines, especially the Book of Mormon!! I finished the New Testament the other day, and so I have begun the Doctrine and Covenants. I am really excited about them. I am making it a constant effort to read the Book of Mormon not just in my personal study, but every night before I go to bed as well. I just finished Mosiah, and I am into my favourite group of stories. I love Alma the younger and the Sons of Mosiah!!! AMMON IS MY HERO, but you all know that! I am really loving the time that I get to spend in the scriptures, and I know that it will bless me for the rest of my life. I am building up my spiritual reservoir that I will be able to draw from for the rest of my life! I can actually have a scriptural discussion now, and that is something that I could never have before!
We are doing well. We are teaching more, and trying to improve our finding. That is the thing that we need the most help with, but I know that we will be ok!!! I thank you for all of your prayers, I do feel them. Can you feel mine?
I love you all so much, and I am so grateful that God blessed me with such an amazing family!!!!!
Love you all
Elder Neal
