Hiya
family and friends,
This
week was pretty darn amazing! Let me tell you. It all started off on Tuesday.
Tuesday was Zone Conference, where all the zones in the north of the mission
come together for a conference. I can not explain how powerful that meeting
was. President and Sister Pilkington are AMAZING speakers! I am so glad I came
to the England Leeds Mission not because of the location, but for President and
Sister Pilikington, as well as the other missionaries I am serving with. Within
these first few weeks out in the field I have learned sooooo much!
Many
miracles happened this week. The first miracle was with Syllene. We meet with
her on Friday and had a lesson with her. Sister Lybbert and I, read the
introduction of the Book of Mormon and 3 Nephi 11 along with her. We answered
all the questions she had (which was a lot) and she understands everything so
well! We also taught her about prayer and personal revelation. She understands
that prayer is very important. If she came to know that the church was true,
she said she would be baptized. We have another appointment with her on
Thursday. Can not wait to see her again!
Another
miracle was on Saturday. We spent all morning calling the Keighley ward to
personally invite them to a Mission President fireside Sunday night. After that
long morning, we finally go out of the house and decided to knock on some doors
close to our house.We got on the bus and since it was a very fogy day, we
couldn't see the bus stops. We ended up missing the stop we wanted to take. So
we got off at the next town which was Collingworth. We did not have much time,
because of Eddie's baptism, so we prayed and on the first door we knocked on
she let us in!!!! As soon as we said Jesus Christ she let us in! I was so
surprised! Normally in England we get the door shut in our face but not this
time. We taught her a little bit about our church and showed her a Mormon
Message. She asked what the difference was about our church and other church's
and we said many things but one was that we have a living prophet who receives
revelation from God for the church. She is very interested and we are seeing
her again tomorrow morning. By the way her name is Gemma.
The
other miracle was Eddie's baptism. It was a wonderful service and the spirit
was so strong! Afterward he was smiling from ear to ear. When he received the
gift of the Holy Ghost he was smiling even bigger! He came to the Mission
President's Fireside that night and loved it. The fireside was wonderful! Again,
President and Sister Pilkington are AMAZING speakers!
Well
it was a wonderful week. I am afraid I have to go.
Until
next time,
Sister
Garrett
