A Witness Of More Than Christ

Good day family and friends,

 

 

This week was alright. Let's get straight to the title.

 

 

(I can't give too many details)

Thursday I had a house to visit and as I was walking out I saw two individuals who were having a heated argument right in front of our flat. It got a little physical. I should've spoke up, but I just kept walking to make it to the house on time.

 

 

On the way back from the visit I saw one of the same individuals angry again and acting violent. I, for sure, kept walking past that.

 

 

Later that night, we had forgot to lock our door (Always lock your door) and the POLICE walk into our flat. They didn't realize it would just come straight in as we do seem to be part of a complex. Anyway I had some details of what I had seen and they were doing an investigation. They asked for a statement from me. I called my mission leaders and they gave me the go ahead.

 

 

I was in shock that this was happening. The police asked us all sorts of questions about what we believe, what we are doing here, ect. Hopefully the myriad of pictures of Jesus Christ on the wall cleared up some of the misconceptions of us considering they thought we were Jehovah's Witnessess (We get mixed up a lot).

 

 

Anyway, long story short I am now a witness for whatever this case is and I am elligible to go to court. Such a crazy story. 

 

 

Also this week we visited one of the towns (I'd almost say village) in our area named Wareham to do some service. I just thought it was so gorgeous though. The views and area of the world I am in is just so pretty, I love it. And sometimes I just think "Why does this feel so ENGLISH?" It just does they way the houses are, the countryside, the accent. It's just is not like where I am from.

 

 

Some INCREDIBLE news. For those not a member of the church we believe that Jesus Christ leads the church with a prophet and 12 apostles just like in the New Testament. Well 3 of the apostles are visiting England next week for a ONCE IN A LIFETIME devotional to the Birmingham England Mission and the London England Mission (400+ people). All 3 of these particular apostles have served a mission such as myself in the UK. This will be incredible. And I can see my brother!!! We will be going to Hyde Park in London to see them this Friday. I cannot wait.

 

 

Other than that nothing in here worth mentioning apart from my growing testimony of Jesus Christ. I have sought to increase my expectations and seek out blessings more and Jesus Christ has provided. Makes sense since this is his work. I love him and how many chances and opportunities he gives us. 

 

 

Hope you guys are doing well! It's getting colder here.

Hiya! I ticked another item off my mission list. We met with a man this week (The one from Patagonia in the previous email), and we got talking and found out he is the head pastor at 3 Welsh-speaking churches in the area. That is his job. He let us into his Chapel, and we got to look around. It was quite something. On the top of the building (much like our temples), was inscribed the word "Zion". But yeah, it was cool to teach a Welsh Pastor. Don't really see much happening with him though. We also taught Wendy again this week, and this time she cried when she shared about the Plan of Salvation. She is so sweet and humble, and we look forward to continuing to teach her. I pray she joins the church; she would be so good. On Wednesday, we had what I call "Old Person Game Night" at the chapel. Since our congregation is so old (average age of 60), we had an activity with really simple pub games, which included bowls, 9-pins ring toss, and darts. Surprisingly enough,...
