iPads

Not much to say about this week. 
Things are going good. One of our recent converts in our ward is struggling because of some anti-material she came across while looking for the General Conference broadcast. She still comes to church and everything; she's just confused. She has such a huge desire to learn and absorb information. I've been praying really hard for her and this morning in my study I found a perfect Ensign talk for her to read. I think it will help her out a lot. 
Susan is doing amazing. She's preparing to be baptized on the sixteenth of May. She's progressing really fast and we may even be able to move the baptismal date closer but we'll see how things work out. She still smokes but she has cut down a lot. 
This week we will be receiving training for iPads. I still don't know much about it yet but the mission will be using iPads starting next transfer. Also this is my trainer Elder Johnson's last transfer so he will be going home next week. You may be able to see him soon.

Well it was nice to hear from you all again. Have you seen the new avengers? The members are telling us all about it. I'll bet Dad is exited for the new StarWars movie. There's a young kid in our ward who's training me to be a Jedi. He keeps calling me his apprentice and asking me how my training is going. Talk to you all next week.

Plane Home

This week was good. We had a good exchange and we did a lot of contacting this week. Gilbert came to an activity so now we know he's still alive; He's jus very busy. It would be nice if he answered our calls and texts though. At least now we know that he sees our texts if he knew about the activity. We've got a new investigator named Susan and she seems nice. We're really trying to get the members involved and we've already got a perfect fellowshipper for her and we'll be teaching Susan at this members home. 
Apart from that we have done some service and have been trying to be in contact with the members more. Our new ward mission leader Pedro has been a big help. He's doing really good and I think with his help and with the great relationship we have with the Bishop we should be able to get the members more involved. 
Well there's not much else to say really. How does Mum like her new phone? Is she getting the new Apple Watch? They have them on display here at the Apple store; they look really cool. Very expensive though. Hope you all have a good week.

Oh by the way I leave on the plane July 22 for home.

Relationship with God

We have had a busy week. We've done a lot of traveling for Zone Training, the musical fireside, conference, exchanges, and reaching some people that are too far to take a bus. I feel like I've spent most of this week on a train. Other than all the travel, I did catch a cold so I felt a bit miserable for a few days but I had to work through it and I'm feeling better now. I'm glad I decided to just work through it because we wouldn't have got much done this week otherwise. 
Unfortunately Dean dropped us this week and he and Kim decided they are not ready for baptism yet. I think Kim is the one making all the decisions and Dean just goes with it. We are all very confused and don't know what she will decide next. But they are in the sisters hands. 
We really want to focus on the members now and try to help them do missionary work. We're hoping this will eventually help us to get some investigators that we will teach more than once. 
We met this guy on the street from Romania. His name is Alin. We invited him to the Easter activity and he didn't show up but then he called us this week to meet up with him. He's a cool guy but teaching him was hard. He just wants to make some friends as he doesn't know anyone here. We're more than happy to help him make friends but he also made it clear that he's looking specifically for girls. We made it very clear that we're here to help him build a relationship with God and he appreciated that.

Hope you all recover from you'r holiday and have a good week!

Motivation

So not much has happened this week but it ended on a good note. I've been feeling very positive even though I feel a cold coming that I'm not exited for. We seem to have found a lot of energy and motivation for contacting by the end of the week and have been able to meet lots of nice people we hope to meet again. We've also been busy with service. We helped a recent converts son fix up his old kit car. He told us about this cool car museum; apparently it has a bunch of cars from the TopGear challenges. Hopefully we have time to go some time; he said he'd take us but tickets are £20. Easter has made the las couple of days really busy with ward activities and general conference. General conference was really good; I got a lot out of it. It felt like a very comforting conference. I guess that makes sense as it was an easter conference. We have a new investigator and baptismal date named Dean and he's a referral from the sisters. He wants to be baptised but he struggles with the word of wisdom. There is also a lot of confusion about him and his partner's plans to get married. We've made it clear what they need to do to prepare for baptism (the sisters are teaching his partner) but they keep changing plans without letting us know. At this point we don't know what they're planning on doing. We haven't been able to see Gilbert (the man who thinks we glow) but hopefully we'll see him tonight at FHE. He hasn't got back to us on that. He's been busy but we're still in contact.

Looks like you had lots of fun in vegas. Hope you enjoyed your Easter!
