Hey there!!
Well this week has been so sweet!

Dave one of our investigators was baptized on Saturday by my companion Elder Ormsby. It was a great service and there was a great turnout from the ward and then Sunday I was able to give Dave the gift of the Holy Ghost in sacrament and it was amazing. Dave is so solid and he has had to make tons of changes in his life in order to live the gospel fully but his heart has changed and that's why it was possible for him to do so! So he is doing great! One of our other investigators called June she unfortunately dropped us this week. We had an amazing family home evening with her at a members home and she felt the spirit ( not the first time shes felt it) then she called us the next day asking if we could call her Sunday morning and wake her up for church! so we were pretty happy about that then the next day she called us and said she was meeting with her minister from her church and that she wouldn't be able to come to church so we were bummed out. She was so solid and she definitely felt the spirit but she decided to stick with her church and so were going to be writing her a letter this week and helping her realize that she has received an answer to which way the Lord wants her to go! so that was rubbish but everything else this week went ok.  We had the opportunity to go help an elderly, less active lady whose house had flooded. We were there scooping out tons of water from her house and I was able to put on some "wellies"  but Elder Ormsby was wearing his running shoes and he got absolutely soaked haha but it was a great chance to serve someone else! I LOVE helping people it just brings this amazing satisfaction to my heart!

Lately I have been reading this book entitled ''Christ in the Americas'' it's all the archaeology and stuff of the ancient Americas and it basically proves the Book of Mormon to be true and it's so amazing to read.  Not because I need to know the Book of Mormon is true but just out of interest! I love this gospel!  I love missionary work!  I love being out here serving the Lord!  I love my Savior Jesus Christ!  He is the only begotten of the father and he is our Redeemer. I love the Book of Mormon and the all the scriptures because they bring light to my day every morning I get to study them. This is Christ's restored church the only true church and I know he restored it through the prophet Joseph Smith! This work is true! I love my mission!

Hey there MUM!  It's good to hear from you!

This week was good. I'm glad you enjoyed stake conference. that's good , they are really trying to push young men to stay worthy to go on missions, I think it is awesome!

My new area is sweet and beautiful. We were in the zone leaders area this past weekend and its the nicest beach in the UK I took some sweet photos. I love this area!  I'm sure we're going to get a car. President called us this morning and talked to us about it lol. I love my new companion Elder Ormsby.  He's from Austrailia and played Tennis at BYU.  He is flippin sweet and we get along great! 

Dave is doing good we taught him the "Law of Tithing"  this past week after church and it went really well he accepted to live it all! President Millar will be doing his baptismal interview this coming week.
 June is golden as can be. We taught her the "Restoration" this past week and she is good to be baptised on the 1st of December. She smokes but is willing to stop for sure. She already told us she knows Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, so she is solid for sure.
I did get your parcel by the way thank you for it:) and the sweets as well! I read most of the book already its really easy to understand! i like it.
We also this weekend were able to attend a play called " Redemption"  It was to remember the fallen soldiers and stuff I enjoyed it!
but yeah that was my week i loved it!
