Time Flies

This week was quite eventful and  the next few weeks won't get any less exciting!  The greatest event of the week was definitely General Conference.  We are really blessed here in England to get the live broadcast and be able to watch it at our stake centers.  We got to see Saturday morning and Sunday morning sessions live, while Saturday afternoon's session was shown Sunday morning and so I've just got one more to watch! Anyway! I loved every second of it! The Spirit was so strong and I'm so grateful to the men and women who are so inspired to give the messages they do and to lead the Church.  Two talks that I will definitely be studying more in depth were Elder Richard G. Scott's and Elder David A. Bednar's. 

This week we had a miracle teach on Saturday morning before we made the trip to the Poole Stake Center to watch conference.  On Friday, the elders in our area street contacted a lady named Sima.  She was in town with her daughter who just came to visit for the weekend.  The elders got a return appointment so we headed over the next morning.  She is a great woman of Christian belief and faith. Both her and her daughter accepted a Book of Mormon and committed to read it. They both expressed how their prayers had been answered and we're grateful we were able to be a part of that. Sima is also very excited to attend church with us next Sunday! We're really grateful and excited to have met her.  

It's the greatest opportunity being a missionary.  I told a young woman at the Poole Stake Center that if she ever got the chance and opportunity to serve, she shouldn't pass it up.  It has truly brought me so much happiness and I'm continuing to learn more about the Gospel, build a relationship with my Savior, and serve those around me.  What greater work can we be involved in than that of our Father in Heaven?

Scripture of the week: "...He that is righteous shall be righteous still; [and] he that is happy shall be happy still; And now, O all ye that have imagined up unto yourselves a god who can do no miracles, I would ask of you, have all these things passed, of which I have spoken? Has the end come yet? Behold I say unto you, Nay; and God has not ceased to be a God of miracles." -Mormon 9:14-15   Visit and lunch at Old Sarum this week. We were so happy to have the sun!! :)
