7/27/09
hello family,
Well i have survived the first 5 days
of the three-some. The first fews days were
soo hard! because we are all in different
places on our missions and we have different
ways of doing things. Saturday was a lot
better and we actualy got to teach some
people :) yay! sunday was so rejuvinating ..
and today (monday) was an excellent time to
get to know the sisters a little better.
They cleaned up the flat a bit and i built
the bunk beds that arrived! haha it was
fun.. hopefully it will survive the night.
;) naw im sure it will i screwed it tight.
I think it is amazing when we are
knocking and someone pretty much tells us
we are wrong and brainwashed and everything..
the spirit just testify's and burns even
stronger inside of you! i love it. The area
is still great.. meeting tons of different
people daily. We have a few new investigators.
Ezekial, is pretty cool, we met him on the
oxford rd and set up an appt. We came over
and taught him and he loved it. He was
suppost to come to church but got called
into work, so we are seeing him on wed.
As i think i mentioned before.. Ollie
and Philip are the ones getting baptised
on the 8th and the 15th. :) yippee!!! tammy,
the one got baptised last weekend) is doing
amazing!!! she feeds us and wants to go out
on teaches with us soon! :) i love her!!!
:) We are also teaching this man named
Melvin.. he is a star!!! you cant help but
love him. His walls are covered in books
and when we gave him the Book of Mormon
last night he was so excited he was reading
right then and there. We had to ask him to
wait for us to finish the lesson. We only
left him 2 Nephi 2 to read but im sure he
will have much more read by then. He loved
everything about the lesson. He always wondered
why there were no prophets or revelations
given to people for the 200 years or so
after Christ and when we told him he got
so excited and he is so prayerful and has
accepted to be baptised once he has recieved
an answer from God. Amazing!!! We have a
few other who we are just getting to know
or some we are just reading with because
they havent really grasped what we were
teaching.
I am official not a greeny any more!!!
The Ap's called me on saturday to tell
me because the new missionaries came in
on thursday im no longer a "golden" as
they call it. So now every morning as
part of my morning study i have a new
assignment for the next 6 weeks. Its called
the Atonement study... were we read from
preach My Gospel and all the scripture
refrenses and whatnots which are with it.
So my focus for a while is strickly on the
Atonement. Im really excited. I already love
the atonement so i can just imagine its
going to be wonderful!!
Happy birthday to Em!!! and i will write to
you all soon!
love you all so much! loving it here in
Reading!! and cant wait to hear more great
news from you all
love
sister meredith :)
