Week 69

                                                                                                              September 29, 2014
Dear Everybody,

     It sounds like a lot has been happening back home. Camille is a missionary as well, which is super exciting!
     This week has been full of a lot of adventures. None of them had anything to do with mice, or dead things, so that was a relief.
     We have done another week of a lot of knocking doors. It has become something that I enjoy because you never know who is on the other side. It is like a present! (Sometimes a very awkward present though...haha)
     We met a really cute girl a couple of weeks ago named, E, and her dog, Bobby. She was adorable. She told us that she was moving to Oxenhope and so we volunteered to help her clean the flat she was moving out of. We were able to do that this week and it was excellent because she had never really talked to missionaries before. It left an extremely good impression and she said we can come see her and Booby in Oxenhope soon. :)
     The best thing about this week was J, the 22 year old boy we met last Sunday. When we got at return appointment with him after our first meeting, we felt impressed that we should arrange a member to come along with us (as you would). However, we both felt that we should ask President Pilkington if he could come. Let me just inform you that I was terribly nervous about this idea. teaching with the mission president isn't the recipe for staying calm in my books.
Meeeooow
     We acted on the prompting, and lo and behold, the busiest man on the planet had time to come all the way to Keighley from Leeds to teach with us.
     Let me tell you, that I have never felt the Spirit so powerfully in a lesson before. It was marvelous, and there was no doubt in my mind that that is what we needed to do. President and J connected so well, and I learned so many things in that lesson. J is incredible and he understands so much about the Plan of Salvation without being taught it at all. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to feel that anybody is influencing him on his decisions regarding the Book of Mormon, and coming to church, so he asked that he get back in contact with us. It was sad, but I know with all of my heart that he will never forget that experience. I definitely won't. Sister H and I fasted yesterday that he might be able to gain t he conviction he needs to continue learning more.
   This week we had another exciting adventure. We had a meeting for all of the Sisters in the Leeds Zones and Huddersfield Zone. It was so good. the weird thing is, that it was probably the last time I'll see Sister Monroe on the mission. She goes home this transfer.  She is planning on attending my homecoming if all is well with the weather and everything. We shall see. :)
I feel so blessed this week. Things are wonderful. :)
I love you!
