Miracle after miracle!

Mum,
Wow, there's a lot of good news in that e-mail. That picture of David and Mike is great and I'm so happy he got the Priesthood. Will you ask Mike if Henrique Moura got the Priesthood as well? That is so exciting! And I'm pretty sure that 70 was the one you were thinking of, that's pretty crazy. I wish I would have been able to talk to them a bit more, it would have been funny if he would have remembered that trip. I didn't know you got to go to the London Temple on your mission? That's crazy. I wish I would have asked for more stories from you and Dad when I was home. Well this week has been super crazy. We found loads of new people! It has been hard to keep up with all of them. We are starting to get all mixed up with names and everything so hopefully we don't forget about anyone! We also had a crazy amazing miracle at church yesterday. So we were leaving Sunday School (Sacrament meeting is last here) and the Bishop walked in and said that a man came in off the street named Mark who wanted to meet with missionaries! He was taught in Newcastle a few months ago but he now lives in North Shields and he is great. Just walked in to church and said that he wants to change his life! Haha, what a miracle! We are working on progressing our people right now. We have found a lot of new investigators but we'll see what happens with all of them, pray for the best! I don't think there is really anything else to report on this week. I haven't taken my driving test yet but it is scheduled for the 4th of November, wish me luck! I think that is everything, sorry its so short. Love you Mum! Bye!

Dad,
Wow what a week it sounds like you've been having back home! Sounds like quite the adventure with the deer hunt and all sorts of mishaps. I'm really glad to hear that Lindsay spent some time with Grandpa. I was talking about Grandpa's missions with Elder Woodbury and I wish I would have asked more questions and got to know them better. Oh well, there will be plenty of time for that in due time. I'm excited to hear and eventually see the changes in the back yard, that would be so nice! Our week was really really good. We found loads of new investigators and things are really picking up here. There are two experiences I'll share with you. On Tuesday we had an appointment flog (fall through) and we had about an hour until our next one. We didn't have enough time to see these other people so we were stuck finding in the area we were. I could tell Elder Woodbury didn't really want to work there because he really wanted to see the other people and to be honest I wasn't too in the mood as well. But we set out to go finding and I told Elder Woodbury that we should pray and choose where we should go. We prayed and then he looked up and half heartedly said the street we were already on. Now it has taken me a long time to learn even a little bit of how to follow the Spirit while finding and I really wanted Elder Woodbury to figure it out as well. It's something that can totally change the attitude someone has on their mission when they recognise they were where the Lord wanted them for a time. So I didn't accept that he had made the right decision and told him to think about it as we walked and to choose another street. As we walked I prayed that he would be able to find the right street and when he chose one I didn't really feel to good about it. But he seemed committed to it so I figured we'd give it our all. We knocked on the first door and I prayed that someone would let us in so Elder Woodbury would realise that he'd followed the Spirit and his prayer was answered. Nobody answered so we went to the next door. A kid named Johnny answered the door and let us in! We taught him a bit, invited him to church and then left after about 20 minutes. You should have seem Elder Woodbury's face for the rest of the day. It was the neatest experience! I was really grateful that he recognised and had his prayer answered. It was neat. I was gonna tell Mum but I totally forgot about the experience! The other one was when this man named Mark just walked into church on Sunday. It was amazing and he is really good! Miracle after miracle! Hahaa. Well that's about all for me. We have interviews with President Lindley tomorrow which is always fun. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks so much for everything Dad. I love you!
