Hey everyone!!!
I am starting to hope I have miscounted somewhere and this
really isn't my 85th email, it is getting scary haha!
Well I hope you all have had a good week. Our week has been
a mixed week, full of fun and games (not really fun and games, we have been
working hard, but it has been interesting)
So the week started great. We had a ward family home
evening, that was better announced at church on sunday than it was attended,
but that it no problem, we still had quite a few of us there (10 if you include
us 4 Elders). We were doing the lesson, so we did it all about faith, and I set
up a maze of chairs they had to navigate while blindfolded, and they had to
listen to their guide and have faith that they would guide them the right way.
It was fun and went well. No one was hurt, which is always a bonus.
This week we did have some better luck with seeing some of
our investigators. First, we were able to get back in touch with Justin, which
was good. We lost contact with him again for a while, but we should be able to
see him again tomorrow. We also got back into contact with Osa, but we haven't
been able to see him yet.
We were able to see Crystal again on friday which was good.
She has been doing a lot of reading which is great! She has already finished 1
Nephi, which is amazing! She has been going through and making notes too which
is great! We did invite her to church on sunday, but she couldn't make it. She
did say though, since meeting us she is praying a lot more than she used to.
She used to only pray and ask for help, but now she prays even when things are
well which is good.
We also have a new investigator called Innocent. We met him
a few weeks ago, but we weren't able to arrange a specific time to meet him.
But we saw him again on saturday, and he says he has been reading the Book of
Mormon that we gave him, and he has some questions about it, that he will ask
us next time, as he has them written down. So we will be seeing him on saturday
and going with him to our ward Christmas party which should be fun.
Something I learned this week is that the adversary will do
anything he can to get in the way of this work, even if it involves messing
with some plumbing... So, since we moved to the flat the bath has had trouble
draining water, and over the last week is gradually got worse until it wouldn't
drain completely until about 3-4pm (after we finished using it around 7.30ish).
So we called the office, and between them and the landlady they brought out a
plumber. He managed to clear the blockage and it was draining great, and then
the next morning, Elder Tidwell got out of the shower and stepped into half an
inch of water all over our bathroom floor... So the Plumber had to come back
again on saturday and he spent all morning and part of the afternoon tearing
out our bathroom to find where the water was coming from, and he had to replace
the whole pipe. So that took out a chunk of time this week.
So yeah, we have had quite an up and down week, but we are
working hard, even though its cold, and gets dark at about 4... which is
annoying. people keep telling us that we should knock on their doors so late,
we are like "it's only 4.30!" its funny. We had someone threaten to call
the police on us the other day, which I shouldn't laugh about, but it is just
funny.
Well I hope you all have a good week!
Attached is some photos of my maze from last weeks Ward

Love you all!!
