Tracting in the rain

written July 24, 2017

Hey all! It's been a pretty solid week. Last p day, we did some sports and stuff, the weather was well nice too. BUT. I drank no water and got super dehydrated so we had to stay in that night cause I felt like I was going to throw up. But it was a nice nap. 😜

Tuesday! We had interviews with president McReynolds then him and his wife joined us for our district meeting! Ah it was the best. Those two are the greatest mission president/wife. They are so genuine, so caring, and so in tune with the spirit. It is so good to have them in the mission. And it was so good to have them in our district meeting! We all really felt uplifted by the spirit. I love being able to plan out district meetings, it is the best. 

That day I went on exchange with elder Beckman! He has been here in the mission for two weeks. And he is a great lad! I had a lot of fun with him, we had 2 really good lessons with Mathew and this investigator named Stephen. Stephen is well prepared. He's a homie! He's got hair like how mine used to be haha. We taught him the restoration and he loved it. Unfortunately he moved out of our area, and now lives a minutes walk outside of our boundaries. |: so we referred him to the Hyde elders. Elder Beckman did great teaching the restoration as well! I was really impressed. So it was a great exchange. (:

Chocolate fountain on exchange.
That's Elder Beckman in the front.

We did a lot of finding this week, and we're able to find a couple new friends. Saturday night we felt particularly prompted to tract this street called Kenworthy avenue. We left the flat after tea to walk to this street. A buncha kids started following us and saying all sorts of terrible things and stuff. Kids here are proper nutters haha. Then we got bashed by a couple dudes while tracting. Then this one massive group of chavs started going crazy at us. We was like what's up with all the opposition? But then a lady came out of a house and walked over to us and apologised for her son and his friends. They all kept shouting at us while we talked to this lady. She seemed really sad and expressed that her baby girl had died a year ago, and it's been making her wonder. She was really interested, we gave her a pamphlet and got her number then her partner started screaming at her to stop talking to us.

So then we bounced outta there. But Satan works so hard against anything that's good! He didn't want us to find this lady so he was placing a whole buncha nasty people in the way to keep her from talking to us. But Satan never wins! Cause he's a hoopdy! (Yeah I said it Satan, come at me bro, do it you won't) Satan fights against all things that are good and true. That's why there is so much rumours and such, people trying to discredit the Book of Mormon and Joseph smith. Because Satan knows that those things are filled with light! And he doesn't like that. I know that where there is opposition, you can also find the light. Cause Jesus Christ always beats that hoopdy Satan. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love living it and feeling the peace that comes from it. I love you all! Have a wonderful week!
