Hellllllooo!!!
Remember when I said that I wanted rain so I could wear my rain boots? Uh I am so nieve...haha it is just raining and nippy as all get out! It's so fun though because I feel like I am really on the Lords errand when things are difficult...haha maybe I'm just odd.
But this week was SO GOOD! Let me just start off by saying last Monday was very hard, but I'm grateful for the Lord and that he is so aware of me and the things I am going through. And plus he has a very bad sense of humor. Haha so after a hard Monday it was time to go out and do some work at 6, and turns out I forgot the keys...which we didn't realize until we were returning at around 8 to bundle up some more. Heavenly Father definitely let me forget the keys so that I could just forget everything else, and just laugh at the situation. It ended up the we forgot to lock a window (yes, I know that's so bad) and I was able to climb in! Yay for keys! Turns out we left them in there AGAIN later on in the week, so lets just say we've learned our lesson.
But we had exchanges this week....I was So nervous! But just the week before Tory had ran his area and talked a lot about how he got through it, so I did the same. And you know what? It went a-okay! We didn't get lost, we met really great people, and we just worked :)
Then we were able to have an appointment with this man who is very knowledgeable, and we had a member go with us. At first it was okay, but then this man literally was like "well what about this" and "well this means this, so it can't mean that", "and basically this man knew the bible in and out. He was like testing us! It was so horrible. We kept trying and trying to just take it back to the simple things, but he just wanted to talk about deep doctrine. By the end of the hour I had checked out, I was gone. I was fighting back tears because he made me question the things I know. And I was so frustrated afterwards! The things I do know may be small, but I KNOW them, and he made me question them! I felt so insufficient to be teaching the Lords children because I was of no help to that man. And even worse, I was mad at him. Which is just terrible! So after that we went home and we kind of talked about it, and then we just went to bed. The next day during study it was all we talked about and it really helped. I just really looked at the things that I do know, and stopped worrying about the things that I don't. I know enough, and no one can shake it (any more). Also we're purifying ourselves!!! I am so stinking excited for this! We both fasted to have things come to our mind that hinder having the spirit with us, and now, for a whole transfer we're going to focus on getting rid of those things so that we can become more pure. I just love how the Lord gives us opportunities to grow, all we have to do is be willing.
The rest of the week went smooth and we're starting up an English class for foreigners! Haha I am so excited to help people learn english, and hopefully it's a success. This coming week is going to be crazy busy because we're travelling to and from Liverpool on Tuesday, and then to Manchester for a specialised training for new missionaries. So we're going to be just busy bees! It's also so great because we are just so excited to have full planners :)
We've got the mail fixed and so we're hoping that now if all mail goes to the office, we will definitely get it, so we'll see how that goes! :)
Thank you so much for all the support and love, I feel it every day. I really am just so grateful for so much support from back home! I hope you all have a safe and good week! Don't forget to pray.
