weekly update 3/21/2012

The winners is YES Kevin will stay in Rossendale for the rest of his mission. Kevin will be home in 5 to 6 more weeks. As soon as I get word on the exacted day I will let you know.



It is another transfer and guess what... I'm Staying in Rossendale w/ Elder Jensen. So i looks like i will die here in the land of Rossendale.

Things have been going well. Tom has been able to establish good solid friendships in the ward other than the Simcock’s, which has been a great blessing. The lesson we had on Monday evening last week, he mentioned that everybody in the church has been brilliant. We are happy to report that the ward is in such a great state. Tom has also been very receptive to the commandments. Without inviting him he is recognizing that there are things that he wants to change, which I think is a good sign.

Sian is doing very well too. She seems to be excited about her baptism. Nothing has come up that would keep her from making that date. So we are excited. As well as the ward is excited.

The other day we felt impressed to go down to Ramsbottom. We were street contacting, and we weren’t seeing to much success. Then 3:00 hit and the streets were covered with school kids. Deciding that it was not the ideal “street contacting” atmosphere, we went and tracting a road in which we felt impressed. As we were tracting we came across a man named James who is from Uganda. He is a really nice man who let us in and we taught him the restoration. There seems to be a language barrier but we are excited about him
