Week 3, Transfer 7
DRAINED.
I am so so so drained. Riding bikes
every day doesn't really help. A quick run down of the week…which, let's be
real, probably won't be quick at all..
Monday - P-day! It was fab. We had a
boring day, emailed, shopping, wrote letters. It was great! We wish we had time
to sleep but P-days go by so quickly it's ridiculous. Especially because we
have to cycle (ha! now we can cycle. BLESSINGS!) everywhere. Walking was taking
WAY too long. Monday night, our member visit got cancelled so we went by the
potentials we have in our area. We went by Adam, he wasn't home but as we were
knocking these 2 guys walked by. Now, it's a dead end street, and we were
towards the end at Adam's door (remember that small detail). As the guys walked
past us, one of them muttered 'Bible bashers'.. and so I turned around and told
him 'It's Book of Mormon bashers actually mate', Sister Scott then says 'Yeah
if you're going to insult us, at least get it right'. They thought that was
quite funny (they looked pretty young), they had a bit of a laugh. They were
walking past Adam's by now and after we made our funny little comments they
stopped and were like 'Is he not in?' and I said 'Who? Adam? If you're
waiting for someone here, why'd you walk straight past the door? Coz we're here
init?' They thought we were proper funny, so they came to chat with us. The one
who made the failed attempt to make fun of us went inside, but his mate was
interested in talking to us, so we chatted for about 15 minutes. Then Adam got
home, we got a return appointment with him for the Sunday after, and his mate
James said he would come to church. Lol. It was a funny situation. p.s James
didn't end up coming to church. He doesn't even have a mobile. He works on a
farm and doesn't see the use for technology like phones or computers lol
the simple life. I think he would've been very cheeky when he was a little
lad. But we'll no doubt see him again :) Anyway, we tried by a few other
potentials and had some good chats :)
Tuesday - Did some service, saw a
recent convert named Julie, had tea at a members house, knocked doors, talked
to people..standard day. Always fun though :)
Wednesday - District meeting in Hull
and then went to Bishop Burton College (for kids 16 and up basically who want
to learn a trade or something either to work or go to uni…sort of like TAFE in
South Australia). We were invited to do something called Living Library where
students will ask you questions and you can chat to them etc. Wednesday was a
bit slow because some of the classes couldn't go when they were scheduled
to, but we got free lunch and stuff so it was good :) There were some people
from other religions too. It was well interesting. We had a good time. Then we
had a member visit, painted our nails haha so great.
Thursday/Friday - Had the living
library thing on again in the morning on Thursday. It was SO busy that day.
Hectic. We were like chatting away to groups of up to 10 every 5-10 minutes. We
made a positive impact :) A lot of them took mormon.org cards and pamphlets and they looked
at The Book of Mormon and things. It was faaaantastic! Good fun. I've always
wanted to go into a school and do something like that so it was a dream come
true for me haha Then we went and saw Tracy, one of our investigators who is
amazing. Had a good lesson with her. Then we went to Harrogate for exchange.
Now. Due to the delicateness (is that even a word?) of the situation, I can't
say a whole lot. But Sister Edgington has hit struggle town with the sister she
is training at the moment. She's only been out 3 weeks and is (having) some
dramas..so Sister Scott and I went to give some support and assess the
situation especially for President as well because he is well aware of the
situation. It was DRAINING in every day possible. Emotional, physical,
mental...just..bleghhhh. :) So we had that. Sister Edgington is handling like a
PRO though, she is amazing. She is doing (everything right) and is just being
100% solid and amazing and I just love her and am so proud of how she is coping
with the situation. It is grinding her down a little bit, but luckily she lives
with 2 other sisters as well. They have been a huge strength. We call her
or she calls us about every day. Hopefully it will all be alright :)
Saturday - We do our weekly planning
on Saturdays because we are on exchange on the Friday and we sit in on other
sisters’ weekly plannings. Then we went to Hornsea to see a recent convert
called Andrew with Brother Drane who is lovely and takes us places :) Hornsea
is by the sea, which we were able to drive by on the way home. It was nice :)
We then did some service for Elly Taylor who is the most amazing and strongest
woman ever. She is such a great example. She's had a lot happen in her life but
she is still always smiling and she is just gorgeous and amazing. Then we had
tea at the Roberts and their 2 crazy girls. Haha it was good. Theeeeeeen we
went and saw Andy with Brother McConnel again like the week before. Andy was
super tired because he works a lot but it was a solid lesson.
Sunday - Church. It was great, I love
Sundays!!! Visited an elderly sister in the ward. She's so sweet :) Sister
Fewster - Bishop's Mum :) Then we saw Adam (the guy from the Monday story lol).
We took Brother Kenny Richardson with us. It was inspired because he was able
to connect with Adam on a level that he could really understand and he worded
things so well. It was a great lesson. Adam has had missionaries in the past
come to him and talk with him for ages but now I think he has the desire to
want to know if it's true or not. He said he'll read the Book of Mormon and
might come to church. He has a lot of potential. He's young and intelligent and
just a good bloke I think. He'd be a fantastic member of the church! In the
evening we went and saw the Blakestons - 2 of the older people in the ward,
husband and wife, they are so lovely :) They are having some hard times but
they are so strong and sweet.
So that was my week in a nutshell!
Thanks for coming. Until next week! PS. Today for P-day it's zone p-day and
we're having an international p-day..I'm taking the TimTams you sent me Mum and
vegemite and we're going to do TimTam slams !
Love you all! I wish I had more time
to get into detail about my testimony and spiritual experiences and things, but
I just have no time ever! But my testimony has grown SO much and my
relationship with my Heavenly Father is growing every day, along with my
sensitivity to the Holy Ghost. The Godhead are good friends of mine :)
Oh and pps JOHN EVANS GOT
BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's receiving the
priesthood next week. Highlight of my mission :) So happy for him!!!!!! (He's
grown a manly beard as well haha)
Love you byyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeee
