the amount of the spirit.
Miracles: we found a girl named Xizi, she is maxed prepared. She texted
us this morning, and she said that she had an amazing experience
reading her Book of Mormon
Funny stories:
elder draper got hit on by a girl at a Latvian girl at chopsticks and
got free food from her.
We also carried a manikin across London for an investigator
Short story long: I'm going to treat this like my journal now, because
my journaling has gone out the window with my new leadership position.
So I'll start off from last Monday, we had a lesson with what we
thought was a member and a referral of her brother. But it just turned
out to be her RM brother, at was embarrassing😂 right after we had a
spiritual thought before FHE, and I was super pumped to give it. I
wanted the ward to remember who we were and that the missionaries
aren't messing about anymore, so I shared the new "first vision" video
and we bore solid testimony of the restoration and the need to spread
the gospel due to it. The spirit was very strong, I wanted it to
motivate some people to be better with missionary work. But nothing has
really panned out because of it. Tuesday we found like Dragons 🐉
talking with everyone we could see, and then we had another member
lesson with a member. She served in temple square and she was a zone
leader there, en when she did her three transfers out of temple square
she was an STL. She gave me advice about being a district leader, she
was hardcore. Wednesday again we found like dragons 🐉 and we watched
the face to face with President Eyring and elder Holland. I learned so
much about personal revelation and the true order of prayer. We had a
bunch of zone leaders over because of the mission tour, and before
they came I hid all our food in my room in the sock drawer and under
my bed. Then in the morning they all complained about not getting
cereal, then they yelled at me for not giving them food ( there was 8
people in our flat, all wanting a full breakfast) I then told them
they could have breakfast if they went and bought it. ( side note,
due to the assistants to the president living next door to us we feed
them constantly and the zone leaders who go on exchange with them, and
we don't get any extra money than any our missionary. On top of that
food is twice the price in London.) so I wasn't to keen on feeding
more people than I had too. I felt like grandpa Webb for a short
moment. Thursday was weekly planning, elder draper isn't too keen on
doing that so it wasn't a good weekly planning because he spent most
of the time looking out the window. You can tell it's not a good
planning when throughout the week you have to spend more than 30
minutes planning in the morning, planning for things you should of on
Friday, but in this case, it was Thursday. This was due to the mission
tour being on Friday. It was very spiritual, we were to read John
13-17. He general authority presiding was elder Phillips, Elder
O'Hares (My MTC companion) uncle! I also got to see Elder O'Hare that
was super fun. I also saw elder mora for the first time after the
transfer. He basically confessed all his sins in one of his comments
during the mission tour. I love that guy so much, he has really grown
since the last time I saw him. Saturday morning was District leader
council, and it was my first time. It is a time to really talk about
how we can improve and help each other and set goals for the zone. It
was my first time but I participated a lot. And even set a DLC goal.
Saturday was the zone training meeting as well, and I had to give the
opening remarks ( basically a lesson) on John 15. I was given about 3
hours head notice so I had no time to prepare. It was still very
powerful I think. I was really puttered out afterward, and I had to
get ready for ward council to make sure our friend baji was getting
baptized this upcoming week. On Sunday during ward council, they went
straight for my throat, but due to me meeting almost every member of
the council personally teaching them a lesson the elder's quorum
president helped me out and we can get him baptized now. The church was
relaxing. I'm kind of tired typing now, so I'll just leave with this.
I'm tired but I got a lot of work done, someone is getting baptized.
