Dear Family,
I am gutted that Julie hasn't had her baby yet. I have been excited all week and could not wait to hear the news today.
I guess the Lord is just teaching me patience. That would be fun if
he/she is born on Spencer's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPENCER!!!!!! Hope
it's a BRILLIANT birthday!
Ilford is still great.
Sister Wen is great. She has been out for 10 months. She is actually
from Liverpool, but her parents are from South Africa and Zimbabwe. She
is a convert. She was baptised when she was 19, but was going to church
like a member for quite a few years (she's 24). She is the only member
in her family, but she is so strong. We have lots of fun! I learn so
much from her!
yesterday
we had our Ward Conference. It was really great! Amarjeet bore his
testimony. He was so nervous to get up in front of everyone but he did
such a great job! And Amaya's dad, Charitch (RC for about 1 year) bore
his too for the first time and it was great!
The work is going well. We are finding lots of great people to
teach. Because everyone works so much and is always busy in London it is
sometimes hard for them to progress, but I know we will see fruits of
all our efforts.
Please pray for Salma. She is having a really hard time giving up
smoking. She just really needs the will power to be able to give it up.
Transfers
was fun! I got to see a lot of my old companions. I was especially
excited to see Sister Greenfield. It has been AGES since I've seen her
and we had such a fun time catching up! Also, the new STL over my area
is Sister Jacobsmeyer (the one from Aunt Jo's ward) so hopefully I'll
get to do an exchange with her (versus the other STL over us, her
companion). That would be really fun!
Sorry my mind is drawing a blank on all the wonderful things that
happened this week. It has been great though! I miss you all and love
you all very much! Can't wait to skype (or google+) with you soon!
It is amazing how the Lord knows all his children perfectly. There have
been so many people this week that I've met that have been in contact
with missionaries or with the church before. Even if they are not
interested I know the Lord is preparing them for the day when they will
be ready to embrace the gospel. A couple transfers ago we tracted into
this Less-active. He hasn't been to church since he was baptised
basically, but he seems really eager to come back and to bring his
girlfriend. We had a great lesson with them yesterday.
He said the first time we met him he was having a really rough day and
then we ran into him and his girlfriend in the street another time when
he said he was really struggling. He says he knows it is not a
coincidence. I love that he recognizes God's hand in his life. God is
in control of everything. HE loves us! And I love Him!
Love,
Sister Davis
