Hey everyone!
Just a little update, I had a prompting about 2 months ago that I needed to extend my mission. At first I kinda fought with this prompting and wanted to just come home at my original release date, which is in 4 weeks from now. But after lots of prayer, fasting, and just general pondering and talking to others about it, I've decided to extend my mission for another transfer! So I'll most likely be staying until August 6th (unless the area presidency doesnt let me), sorry if that inconveniences anyone, but I believe theres a reason the Lord wants me to stay in england for another 6 weeks. So see you all in a couple months!
This week was really nice though! There's just been sooo many miracles, especially when it comes to finding people to teach. We had zone conference this past week and a big portion of it was spent on helping us improve our finding skills. Basically we've been seeking to build connections in Christ from the very start!
But I messaged this one girl, and on the second message I sent to her, I felt prompted to invite her to come to church and partake of the sacrament. It felt a little weird and super random to do that to someone I dont know at all haha, but the message I got back was honestly such a miracle and testament! She said that she's grown up technically being catholic, but only been to Mass once in her life with her nan, and she really enjoyed it. She's just moved to manchester to study and said that she's really wanted to come to church here, but just doesnt have any friends or people to go with, so was scared to. But she said she was so grateful for my message and now she'll be coming to church!! So honestly really excited for that, God is in the details.
This week has honestly been a testament to me of how important it is to always live worthy to have the Spirit - especially as a missionary. “Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.”
