weekly update 8/8/2011

HOLA FAMILIA Y AMIGOS!!!!!!! (as Elder Diaz would say.)

This was a pretty good week. We were in South Ribble for the first part of the week. Then went to preston for the remainder of the week. It gets quite crazy living in two flats. The only reason it gets crazy if the travel back and forth. It wouldn't be that bad if we could get an "any bus" pass, Unfortunately they don't. But we have to search out which pass is would be the best between three bus companies. It's good to be kept busy though.

Our investigator, Mike, is doing really well with the word of wisdom. He has given up smoking and says he doesn't even have a desire to smoke anymore. The best part is he is noticing the blessing right away. He can already see the promise contained in Doctrine and Covenants 89:20 Where it says, "And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint." We just need to get him out playing football with us!

Fiona is also doing great. She is still coming to church. We had a lesson in Gospel essentials class about the word of wisdom. Let's just say we wont have any problems with the word of wisdom. Each substance she contributed in saying that they were all bad for the body.

Thanks for everything!
