Opposition

Crazy crazy. We had 3 baby blessings in our ward too! It was a great week here in Leeds 4, even though everything went wrong that possibly could! It was funny to look back on especially because the Lord blessed us in the end for it all. So we have been working really hard at becoming excellent finders and it has been a difficult journey but we are improving. It makes it a lot funner when you are more successful so we were very blessed in that way. A majority of the people we've met have said to come back after the new year so we did a lot of knocking this week so that was a bit of a trial. Then on Wednesday I lost the keys..... yup. So we just had to keep pushing forward and that night ended with us getting dropped by an investigator, and chased by chavs. The next two days all of our appointments flogged and our tea appointments dropped us too it was pretty funny. Whenever something else would happen I would look over at Elder Jensen and we would just smile at each other, I'm glad he doesn't get frustrated about things. But it all paid off in the end. Leeds 2 had a baptism and we tried to get an investigator there but we had no ride so what did we do? We called the mission president to pick him up. It was so funny, I think our district leader was kidding about us calling him but we did anyways and he brought our investigator for us. It was really funny. Our week ended with us having 5 people at church which was a miracle! The majority of it was a family that were former investigators. But we were really blessed this last week and it was great. To top it all off guess what I got this morning! A package! Haha, it finally came but unfortunately I didn't have time to open it so its just waiting for me at home. Haha. Well mum, I love you but I've got to get back to work so I'll talk to you next week. Thank you and love you loads.

ps. Jon is a zone leader!

note: I'm STILL sad that not only did Zack not get any of his packages before Christmas, he never received my package (the one with the Christmas tree with photo ornaments of all his friends and family) at all. Still. To this day. I keep hoping and praying for a miracle--that it somehow will turn up at his door, but no such luck. The saddest part, is it was chock full of love from home--no worldly nor sentimental value to anyone but Zack. And he never got it.
