Week 5, Transfer 4
TRANSFER INFORMATION:
TRANSFER INFORMATION:
Well, at 10pm last night..Sister
Edgington and I…picked up the phone...and...were told…that Sister Edgington..is
going to be serving...with.......ME!!!!!! FOR ANOTHER TRANSFER
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Another 6 weeks in Skipton!!!!!! Christmas in Skipton,
winter in Skipton, yeahhh buddyyy!!!! My fave Zone Leader (but don't tell any
of the other ZL's) Elder Esteves is leaving to Hull to be a ZL there. He's been
my ZL for almost 6 months! Anyway, he's gone, and the District Leader for Leeds
1 District (Elder Thompson - he's Chinese speaking) is taking Elder
Esteves' place as ZL in Leeds A Zone. My district (Keighley) is getting a new
DL from Ireland. Never met him before but I'm sure he's great. Not a lot has
changed other than that. A few elders and sisters coming and going, but our
zone basically stays the same sort of. Happy days!
This is Matthew Meadows..he is SO CUTE. He is the son of a daughter of one of our favourite families. <3 them. Sister Meadows makes the BEST cakes.
That's the immediate news. Now that's out of the way..on to what happened last week.
It was a good week, did lots of
finding, knocking, district meeting, district lunch with the Zone Leaders etc.
and then..STAKE CONFERENCE !!!!!!
It was SO good. They have Saturday
session and Sunday session. All full-time missionaries in the stake were told
to come to the Sat night session - they used to only be able to come if they
had an investigator. President Pilkington spoke, which was amazing and
inspiring and hilarious as always. Everyone who meets him or hears him speak
loves him. He is just the best!
Then on Sunday, Magdalena, Jan, and
ONE of her boys (Simon) came, which was so good. Lukas stayed home. But so good
that Simon came. The ward clerk in another ward speaks fluent Polish so he met
Magda and Jan at the conference and sat with them and interpreted. So good. And
Patsy and Maggie came too! Maggie and Patsy used to be taught by Elders ages
ago, then we started teaching Patsy, we have a really strong connection with
her, she is so receptive to the spirit she just feels it so strong whenever
we're with her. Maggie moved in next door to Patsy and they both came to Sunday
session of conference, which was GREAT. The miracle is probably the lesson we
had with Patsy Sunday evening. She told us about her amazing experience at conference that day. She said that
during President McKeown's talk (a counsellor on the Leeds Stake
Presidency), as he was talking about a lady who was a vent patient and her
desire to want to be baptized, it felt as though he was talking straight at
her. She wants to be baptized and quit smoking, so we rescheduled her for the
14 December. We will be praying for her as she is trying to quit smoking in 2
weeks. It will be very hard for her, as she has been smoking for probably over
30 or 40 years. We have a member in the branch called Margaret who was baptized
about 3 years ago, who had a severe smoking addiction as well, but with
prayers, a lot of faith and help from the missionaries and members, she was
able to quit in just over 2 weeks. Margaret actually went through the temple
for the first time about a month ago now. She is so amazing. We know that Patsy
can quit smoking and be ready for baptism by the 14th of
December. We are so excited for her. We called her last night and told her
Sister Edgington and I were staying in Skipton for another 6 weeks and she
cried. Please pray for Patsy that she won't have the desire to smoke anymore.
She needs all the help she can get!
The theme for Saturday night
session of conference was 'Hastening the Work of Salvation' and it was AMAZING,
and then Sunday's was 'Come unto Christ' which was also amaaaazing. So great.
Ordinary Winter's Day in Skipton
Well, it was a solid week. All the
members of Skipton Branch are incredibly happy we are staying. There is so much
work to do here!
Sister Edgington and I are so pumped
to be together for Christmas. She's always saying how she wants to be with me for
winter time because I say funny things when I'm cold apparently. Everyone
thinks I'm hilarious over here for some reason.
In District meeting yesterday…oh and our current District leader Elder Berrio is going to whitewash and be a zone leader in Grimsby Zone (a new zone). Yayyy!! I predicted a few weeks ago that he is going to be a ZL with my first DL Elder Randall who has been a ZL in Hull for the past few transfers...and guess what, they are going to be companions!! Hahaha. What a prediction. Love Elder Randall though, he's so funny without him even knowing he is haha a few weeks ago we had a Zone training meeting and we all had our own folders with a picture of something that resembled us. My picture was the chilled out turtle on Finding Nemo that says 'duuude' all the time. My zone leaders think I'm super relaxed and laid back, like that turtle. Haha and I always say Dude (bad habit that I need to stop). Hahah. love that turtle
Sister Edgington has improved SO much
since last transfer. There are times where I look at her when she's testifying
and teaching and I'm so proud of her. She has a strong foundation now, and now
she can build upon it and be even more amazing than she already is!! Oh and
we're so excited to sing Christmas songs on everyone's doorstep for
Christmas!!!!
The church is true. If you want
to be truly happy, live the gospel of Jesus Christ, it is the one and only way
to true eternal happiness. I know it is, try it!
Love y'all xxxxxx
