Well this week has been a super busy
but really good week. Loly, Vivaldos friend, was baptized. We taught her
everything in a week and she was baptized on Sunday. It was such a wonderful
time. It's so amazing! Heavenly Father prepares all of the people we teach and
all we do is find them and the Lord does the rest. Being on a mission is so
amazing and I am starting to realize why everyone loves them so much. Just had
to get adjusted and forget about myself to realize it. But it really is so
amazing and I am meeting so many amazing people here and making so many good
friends. I still can't believe that I am actually on a mission in England. It's
crazy! I look in the mirror and it just doesn't seem real. But it is great. Time
is just flying by and there just isn't enough time in the day to do everything
that needs to be done.
Sister Binnie and I are done serving
with eachother. We have seen so many miracles and we have been so blessed in
Exeter. I will be getting a new companion on wednesday and I am excited and
nervous about it. I learned so much from Binnie. She is a fantastic missionary
and has blessed my life and so many peoples lives here. I will miss her but the
Lord needs here somewhere else.
On a spiritual note I have learned how to rely on the spirit so much more
these past couple of weeks. Usually we would plan our lessons and find specific
scriptures that we want to use but we haven't been. We plan for the topic
and study for the person but when the time comes we just let the spirit direct
our thoughts to the scriptures and the things that we need to share. It's
amazing how if we just listen that the spirit can bring all things back to our
remembrance. The key thing is to just trust and listen and study so that we will
have something to remember. And it benefits and helps the people that we teach
so much more as well.
The gospel is amazing and I just love it so much! I love the book of mormon
and I just know with all my heart that it is the word of God and it is
specifically for us. Stay close to the Lord and the scriptures and to family!
They are the very most important things in this life. I love you all so much!
miss you!
love syd
