| Alec, Investigator and Elder Burgess |
The weeks here go so fast. It's
incredible. We are just busy, busy, busy. I wouldn't have it any other way!
Gratefully I'm still learning and growing a lot, individually and as a
leader.
The Work
Our investigator is incredible. We taught him
last night, and he's already read everything in the book of Mormon up to and
including 2 Nephi 2. I'm so impressed with him. We met him on General
Conference Sunday, and he's been amazing at keeping commitments ever since. He
will be baptised tomorrow, and he's bringing 1-2 friends from his work. I feel
so much love and gratitude for him! All we did was teach him the gospel and
extend committments, and he's risen to all of them. It'll be a great day
tomorrow.
Our other investigator is doing super well, too. We
challenged her to invite a friend to our lesson with her, and she's bringing 2
friends with her to our dinner/lesson today (Elder Burgess and I will make a
Lasagne dinner for her, her two friends, another friend (A recent convert Elder Burgess
taught about 5 months ago when he used to serve in Britania), and us, of
course. It will be a fun time! She passed her baptismal interview and will be
baptised on Mom's b day! Fun fun.
We gave a training on Obedience
at MLC, that was rolled out to each individual zone yesterday. Obedience
definitely is the price of spiritual power, of faith, and of any blessing!
Funny
Did I ever tell you about the guy
from St. George Utah that was following me on my blog? So he started his
mission (his name is Elder Sharp) in Ipswich zone (where Elder Jensen was ZL).
He already knew a bit about Elder Jensen from my blog, specifically the story
where Elder Jensen ran over a squirrel with the car. Anyways, he is now in
Britania and we see each other quite frequently! He's a great missionary. Very
hard working, very diligent, and very humble. Sometimes he runs and sometimes
he plays basketball with us, but it's pretty funny that we're around each other
now, especially since he followed my blog. |

To be honest, I didn't write in
my journal this week. So I can't really think of any funny things... Except for
the fact that I'm a goon and enjoy making funny/random noises sometimes, and I
still occasionally imitate Gollum.

On Wednesday we had MLC.
President Alldredge (Sis Stevens brother, former ELM President, and former SLC
Temple President) along with his wife spoke with us. President Alldredge was incredibly
powerful. "Ear hath not seen, neither eye heard such marvelous things
as we saw and heard that day" (Intentional swapping of the words ear and
eye, for humourous effect :). He bore a powerful testimony of Jesus
Christ and temples. It was amazing to listen to him speak.
I love you all! Have a great
week.
Love,
Elder Withers
