Old Sarum Bus Trip

I told President today in my letter that I don't think I've ever been as happy as I've been at this point in my mission.  I'm lovin' it. Salisbury is the greatest area and the work is moving along so well! Sister Nelson and I get along great, and I love the members here. I don't think it could get any better. 

Carly is doing really well and we're excited for her to be baptized this Saturday!! We're really looking forward to it. It was fun this past weekend to take a trip down to Poole with her and Shelby (member) to attend a baptism service for their ward.  There was a special spirit there and it was a great experience. 

Our miracle of the week was definitely on Thursday when we went up to Old Sarum to contact some people up there.  On the bus ride up, most the seats were full so I just randomly sat down next to this guy named Jamie. I started talking with him and found out that he was actually the grandson of one of the members in our branch! I was blown away!  He told me he knew of the Church but not much about it, but he already had a Book of Mormon. We ended up getting off at the same stop and setting up another time to meet. The next day he showed up and we were able to teach him a little bit more.  He gave us his number and we told him we'd text to let him know about an activity we were having the next evening.  We texted him but got no response. :( Sunday, on our way back from church, we ran into him again! Can you believe it?! He told us he had accidentally told us the wrong number and was able to correct it.  We met with him again and have another appointment set up for this coming week! We're were so happy to meet with him and I know the Lord puts people in our path who are prepared to listen to the message we have. So onward and upward with the work this week. It's a great time to be a missionary. :)

Scripture of the week: "But all things must come to pass in their time. Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great. Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind..." -D&C 64:32-34
