Thanksgiving

Hiya everyone.

 

 

So this week since no one was celebrating Thanksgiving, the American missionaries got together and we decided to have a feast on Thursday after our weekly district council.

 

 

My goodness that was busy.

1. On the way back from the store to buy some ingredients I walked under a window above me. To my astonishment a spray of spit came down upon my face followed by some disgruntled cursing. Nasty, and irritating, but also another chance to rise above the filth of the world.

 

 

2. We got up on Thursday and cook cook cooked Roast, Mashed potatoes, Gravy, Peppermint Bark, and Sweet Potato Casserole. Elder Morriss and I could've celebrated ourselves if we had to. Near the end however, Elder Morriss spilled half of the gravy onto the counter which cascaded down the cabinets and onto the floor. The best part was we had to leave to make it on time to our train. And so the mess remained.

 

 

3. We CARRIED all of that stuff mentioned 2 miles to the train station. Quite heavy. That is the price of Thanksgiving though

 

 

But in the end, it worked out and some dumb young Americans managed to have a Thanksgiving celebration at the chapel. 

 

 

Then we had a long trip back home on a half hour delayed train. 

 

 

Rest of the week was fine. We had some lessons over the phone with our friends. One of which wants more of her friends to join, let's go! Also, the friend I mentioned last week we have still kept contact. She lives in Pakistan and it was a tender mercy how we made contact. So we have a lesson with her and the Pakistani Elders on Friday! How cool that the gospel is in that country.

 

 

There was a terrible incident at home with a friend who has tragically passed away. The news was awful to hear. I felt inspired to watch a video about Jesus Christ's suffering. I truly felt his love for the human family. Because Jesus Christ overcame death, we can have peace in this life and eternal life in the world to come. I invite all to watch the video to find a moment of peace as I have.

Have a great week everyone.

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,...
