Well, for everyone who doesn't know, it's official. I have
been moved from Aberystwyth to Hereford. I was a bit sad to receive news
of the transfer because my comp and I were getting along so well and we
were beginning to see some incredible miracles in Aberystwyth! It's ok though, I'll
go wherever the Lord wants me to go.
My new companion is from California, and he really
likes to work hard as a missionary which I really admire about him. I have only been on my mission about 6 weeks longer than him. I think that
we will be able to work really well together!
Hereford is a town/city right on the border between England
and Wales. It seems to be quite a bit bigger than Aberystwyth, and everything
feels so much farther away (probably because I now have to bike everywhere
instead of driving a car.) Some big miracles have been happening the past few
months in Hereford, and as a result 3 people all from the same family are
planning to be baptized before the end of August. That is a great situation to
be transferred into! The only thing is, once these three get baptized we won't
have any investigators any more so we have been spending a lot of time
searching for new investigators.
We had a really cool experience a couple days ago when we
were out knocking on doors. It was in the evening, and although we weren't
finding too many outright rude people, we were having a tough time finding
anyone who was interested in learning about the incredible message of the
restoration of the Gospel. We were knocking along a row of houses, when my companion stopped and suggested that we go and knock on some houses on the opposite
side of the street. We walked over and knocked on the first house and a
man opened the door and said "Well, I've only got five minutes but you can
come in if you like." We were so surprised! We went into his house and
began to talk with him. We ended up teaching him a lot about the restoration,
and we gave him a Book of Mormon to read from. We were surprised again when he
asked us if we could come back after he had had a chance to read a bit from the
Book of Mormon! We set a return appointment and then left. You never know when
a miracle is going to happen!
I love you all!
