Super week

Dear family and friends,

It is so nice to read the emails you all have sent! This week has been super... Why? Well let me explain in detail ;) Tuesday the 22nd: We (as a district) went to Warrington and had what is called a Street Display. The name is pretty self expalnatory, but for those who are reading and have no clue. Street Display- Setting up a booth in the middle of town and stop random people and explain the gospel to them. Going about either in ones or twos (stay within sight and sound if you are alone)- so that’s what it is :) I taught 6 lessons and gave out only one Book of Mormon and had no new 'Friends' (Investigators are no longer the term, the first presidency changed that). Wednesday 23rd we found a new 'Friend' whoohoo!!! Success! Thursday 24th we taught a progressive 'Friend' named Frank and Frank is very tough to work with cause he didn't understand the Priesthood. Now Frank has been a 'Friend' for over 2 months now and all that time he didn't understand authority so we took with us a recent convert Goodwill! We all focused on the Priesthood Authority, now he understands it, by the way he is Catholic, but it is now in his hands to decide if he wants to find for himself or not. Friday 25 a Man named Fui Fui! Fui is a professional rugby player and he is from Tonga, his wife is from the States and is a member and he is a less active, but goes to church when his wife forces him to haha :) anyway, Fui took my companion and me to Frankie and Bennies which is a 'Close to American food' Restaurant and we started off with two 15 inch pizzas for an appatiser, I had half of one and then I ordered two shakes plus the main course which was half a chicken, a rack of ribs, chips (fries), Mash (mashed potatoes) and on top of all that I ordered a chocolate molten cake. I ate it all because of Fui haha :) Look him up on google, he might be there. Saturday 26th was the Wigan Street Display! I had 12 lessons handed out 4 Books of Mormon and no 'Friends' haha, that’s missionary work for ya! Last night was Fast Sunday! We had a marvelous Sabbath and had Tea with some members who cook like a dream! ... I know this email is a little lengthy, but hold on ;) My companion and I also taught a lesson, earlier in the week, to a less active/ part active family. The father is the less active and the rest of the family are non-members. The father smokes and wants to quit real bad so we are helping him with the addiction recovery program. His testimony is strong and I believe that he can be worthy of holding a temple recommend soon!

Alright, I really miss aAmerican candy haha. I have not had culture shock and don't really think i will receive any cause I absolutely love it here in England! The food is so much better tasting and healthier over here... other than Grandma's meatloaf and Mom's cooking ;) I am putting on a little bit of weight, but not too much haha. I have some pictures this time and I will send some!

I love you all! I pray for each and every individual every night.
