Stamford
monday,still figuring out where we are going, how to get groceries from forever away to our flat (in our bags on our bikes)
tuesday, two (!!) unplanned member present lessons. the first one was a less active member who hadnt been to church in over 30 years because of health issues. the second, a different la called us about her friend and could we teach her tonight?... umm.....yes. we can. so that was cool. new investigator!
wednesday, we had zone meeting. i got sick in the middle of it (pretty sure I was dehydrated, making sure I'm drinking enough water now) and pulled sister jones away to go hide in the toilets because I felt like I was going to pass out. so we went home and slept all afternoon. moral of the story- drink water!! also we had a really weird da, with members. shortest dinner appointment ever. and we taught the man we met in the park last week! unfortunately we counldnt get a member to come with us. so we ended taking a walk to the park,and he was super impressed by "the structure of the church" and how we think of everything. he accepted to be baptised! this area is so blessed!
thursday- sister jones had a trainers meeting, so she went with sister cebollero (who is going to training and whitewashing stourbridge, so no more trio!) and I went with sister spangler to stamford. it wasnt exciting. we just put the area book back together because it was scattered far and wide... then we stopped by a potential and got a return appt to go help her with her garden. but i will be gone by then :( ate dinner with the smiths, who are really cool. apperently, she baptised alex boye.. so that's my claim to fame. haha
friday- we handed out more flyers for the byu dancers coming in the town centre. did our weekly planning (its much nicer with people to work with). we also went to another referral from the la that gave us the first one! taught her husband (she wasnt home) and we are now teaching a family! fun stuff.
it rained SO hard and thundered and lightninged. it was like home! unfortunately though we had to walk in it...
saturday, was a day we magically planned to be in all of the right places at the right time. we met a lady in the library and taught her later that day- because we gave her a card, she left. we finished, and she felt prompted to come back and found the mormon.org card with our number on it sister jones had left at the computer she was using. so she texted us asking if we would like coffee sometime. (we said no) and the tea.. (also no) and then milkshakes ( definitely yes!) so another new investigator.
sunday, church, we were able to go the the byu dancers fireside with one of our new investigators and her husband, and they really enjoyed it!
so, obviously this week has been one of the best of my mission, I have loved every second of Leicester. and its going to be so hard to leave. (just think of the car!) Im sure the Lord has plans for me in Stamford and that sister Jones and her greenie are going to continue to meet the people who have been prepared to receive the Gospel. Honsetly, I just feel like we plan by the spirit and the miracle have taken care of themselves. and also get asked if justin beiber is mormon.... ummm i dont think so....?
sorry its really long this week- but I love you all and hope you week goes well! Heavenly Father has a plan for you, and pray that sister spangler and I dont die while driving in this crazy country! Love,
-Sister Wadsworth :)
