my companion starts throwing up and urinating blood so we go to the
doctors most of the week, we work hard from the chapel skyping people,
I get called as district leader of central London.
Frustrating stories:
well we showed up to each doctors appointment approx. 2 hours early,
and they still didn't get us in on time or actually tell us what was
wrong with elder mora( we still don't know what is wrong with him)
Funny stories:
One of our recent Chinese converts had a talk and he got up and said "
I don't know if I believe if god exists......" we all went deathly
silent he then said, " but I'm willing to try and believe". It was
funny because when I heard him say that I felt the eyes of all the
members on us. Thinking, what are those missionaries teaching these
asians😂 but it was a good talk, and he believes in god
Short story Long:
On Tuesday we found for 5 hours straight, it was hardcore. I've been
trying to experiment and try new things with this area because it is
so white and ready to harvest, I thought I would go off the beaten
path of missionary work. On Wednesday we had a couple of lessons, one
with Izabella a model from imperial college (she's a model for
charity, so don't think it's too big). We taught the plan of salvation
and the sabbath Day, and like with all "smart" people they ask dumb
questions. Such as"¿if I were to grow a brain, how would judgment be
for that brain?"; Those are the questions I get in this are. In the
end, she said it would be in her best interest to not keep the sabbath
Day Holy and to go to the telestial kingdom because most of the
people she knows would be there. So maybe I didn't share that message
as best I could. After that we taught a former investigator named
Hudanir, she will be getting baptized next month (hopefully, we all
know how my baptisms go). But she actually came back herself, after
taking a two-month break from the church, because she said she missed
the spirit of peace she felt. On Thursday my companion said he was
experiencing some pain, and that there was urine in his blood. So for
the next 3 days, we were in and out of the doctor's office trying to
figure it out, his condition seemed to worsen throughout the week.
After president gave him a blessing on Saturday his condition seemed
to improve (I'm still skeptical if he was really even sick or just
needed a rest). On Sunday we had another ward council. I came super
prepared, probably the most prepared I've shown up to a meeting. I
emailed all these copies and printed out copies myself, and we didn't
even talk about them. But the Bishop emailed my ward mission leader
and complemented my deep commentary I had on the ward and its
strengths, weaknesses, and how we can improve. It was a ward
conference, and it was really spiritual with bishops remarks on having
a more fulfilling life. Anyways the area had 2 baptisms this Sunday,
one with Boya and one with Ling. It was spiritual and brilliant to
see. I was excited to be there. On Monday elder mora still needed a
day off ( I'm depleted from studying now, I've studied most of the
teachings of Brigham young. Pretty good). We got our call for
transfers, and I've been made district leader of Britannia. The
central YSA ward of England. I'm excited about this new responsibility
and hope to magnify my assignment. I will be getting Elder Draper as a
new companion.
