Hi mum and dad
just to let you know I will probably be
skyping home around 12 o'clock tomorrow, 11.45am at the earliest. We have been
asked to keep our calls to half an hour to 45 minutes.
Also, I did get your big box on
tuesday, but as I was training back I had to give it to the zone leaders to
bring back, but they are comign up today to give it back to us :)
Love you all, speak to you tomorrow :D
Hey Everybody
so... we survived "the end of the
world" it was crazy down here, you should have seen it! nothing... nothing
happened, absolutely nothing. but anyways...
This week has been really good. On
Monday for P-day we went to bournemouth and played capture the flag against the
missionaries in the Poole zone. I'd like to say we won, but either we were too
good, or we all sucked so we declared it a draw! (but Plymouth zone won really!
haha!)
Then on tuesday we got to go to the
temple which was just amazing as always! and the christmas conference was good.
We got fed (most important thing) and then President Millar spoke to us a
little, then we sung some christmas carols then we got all our post and
presents and then headed home. Unfortunately, as our travel plans met going by
train, we had to give our packages to the zone leaders so they could take it
back by car. This was a great idea as we had to go via london, via the tube
(which is always an enjoyable experience...) during rushour, (which added to my
joy...) but thankfully we got to stay the night with the elders in Newton Abbot
as we got back to their falt at nearly 11pm. it was great though.
Then, this week we had two main
miracles. so after Christmas conference Elder Pettersen decided to just call
all of our investigators and potentials to try and arrange a time we could see
them. At first no one answered, but then almost right away, Vanessa called back
and we arranged a time to see her for the next day :D so we went around to see
her and she let us in, and we got to teach her and her two daughters Abbie and
Lusinda. It was great! We watched the restoration with them and it was a really
good teach. Abbie asked a lot of good questions like, whats the true meaning of
christmas and how prophets are called which is great!! I think she will
definately go somewhere. Also, just a head's up, she is looking at going to Uni
this next year and is looking at Aberdeen, St. Andrews or Edinburgh, so I may
request some of you keeping an eye out for her if she does go to Uni up there.
It was great though. And just before we left, she ran up to our room and
quickly wrote us each a Christmas card, which was funny. So that was miracle
number one.
Miracle number two. Simone, who we saw
last sunday wanted to come to the carol service this sunday, so we managed to
arrange a lift for her and she came yesterday! it was great!!! She said she
really enjoyed it too. She has been to other churches but says that she liked
this one the best as everyone is so friendly and there is a nice spirit there
and she really enjoyed it. She wants to come back again which is good :)
So those have been the main parts of
our week.
Well I hope you all have a very Merry
Christmas and remember why we celebrate Christmas (christmas begins with
CHRIST).
Love to you all
Elder MItchell
