Yalrigh?
I really love Kings Lynn! And my companion is amazing! :) Life is so
so good. The weather has been bright and shining and we have been
working hard. Sister Reina is from Madrid, Spain (which part of Spain
did Aunt Sherry serve?). Her father Jose Reina was just released from
the 3rd Quorom of the seventy on Saturday. This is her third transfer.
We are having a great time together. Also she is teaching me Spanish
and she cooked a Spanish omelette for lunch today SO GOOD, mostly
because they have fried potato inside. :) I love her a lot and I feel
very blessed.
Our area is huge. We do NOT ride bikes #hallelujah but we walk
everywhere, get lifts from members and take the infrequent buses. We
cover Kings Lynn, Wisbech (30 min bus ride) Downham Market (10 min
train ride), Hunstanton (60 min bus ride), and all the areas
in-between. It is really fun:) we are a 2.5 hour train ride away from
London. But I LOVE the countryside. Kings Lynn reminds me of
Canterbury because of how old it is and it makes me happy. The town
centre is very Diagon Alley style:). There is a huge park with
beautiful gates and buildings that are really really old. And a
gorgeous library that I would love to love inside! I will try to take
more pictures on my camera this week. :)
The area is really booming. The sisters here have worked so hard.
Currently we have 3 investigators on date. One who is all set to be baptised on the 17th of
April. Her name is L-. We are very very busy. Please pray that no
one will drop off last minute and that we can continue he to find
prepared people :)
The ward is great as well. I haven't met all of them yet because of
conference but those I have met are wonderful. Especially the Relief
Society president Sister Robinson who is a huge Harry Potter fan and
has a son named Harry and a daughter named Lily. :) :) :) It's so
great :).
We have had many teaching appointments this week and it is just so
fun. I really have felt the Holy Ghost testify. We also made a new
friend on the bus (one of our long ones) where we were able to teach
him all about resurrection and prayer for about 20 mins on the bus. We
have a return appointment with him on Friday.
I loved conference. I had some written questions that I was seeking
revelation on and ALL of them were answered. I haven't finished the
Saturday afternoon session yet but I am excited to hear the rest of it
:). I have great hopes for this transfer and for the future.
I discovered a new favourite scripture this week it is Hebrews 6:10-12
(the rest of the chapter is great as well) it says:
'10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love,
which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to
the saints, and do minister.
11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to
the full assurance of hope unto the end:
12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith
and patience inherit the promises.'
It struck me quite powerfully as a real promise the Lord has made to
me. That all the time and energy and heartache will all be a blessing
upon my head either in the mission or out. I will receive all of the
blessings He has promised. As I read this scripture my heart was
filled with so much joy and peace. It made me feel even more
determined to labour with love and diligence for these people and
continue after as well. Oh God is so good. <3
I sent a very large package home with books and letters and stuff I
want to keep. You can open it and look through stuff and read whatever
you would like, but there aren't any gifts inside. :)
I also sent a package for Daddy's birthday. It is just for him. :)
Os quiero!
