Another decent week in Oxford. We had a zone conference and that was good. It's helped me and my companion to be more diligent. And from that we've seen more blessings. We have a new investigator whom we are teaching for the first time today. She's really friendly and open and we're excited to start teaching her. She's from Hungary. She seemed excited to come to church but she couldn't make it this week. We're making goals to meet with the members more and gain their trust. I think that's vital especially in this aria. We're going to see what service we can do and try to teach the member lessons. We want to let them know that were here to help them do missionary work. We also had the opportunity to give a blessing to an investigator who was going to the hospital to check her lungs for something (I don't know but she was really worried). But we heard that she got the results and there's nothing wrong.
You can tell the members to make friends with the missionaries. Not just because they need food or even because they need to teach the members lessons and tell them what to do, but because missionaries make good friends. Members should try to get to know them more. That closer relationship can bring so much joy and even make missionary work easier or less scary for members; even exciting! I've seen it as I've worked with members here in England. Maybe it's because they realize that missionaries are people too.
Here's a photo of my companion in the dark and also another unrelated photo. We were walking through a cemetery and we found this. We honestly just stumbled across it.
