weekly update 8/15/2011

HELLLOOOO!

This week was such a great week! The first reason is because after 3 weeks we are finally starting to figure out how to work with the two areas. We finally found a bus that will be good to go to and from south ribble from Preston.

Fiona is doing great! This week she bore a powerful testimony about how she can feel the spirit as she reads the book of Mormon. She said that she always feels the spirit as she reads the Book of Mormon and the king James version of the bible. She even came to church yesterday even though she wasn't feeling the greatest! It was good to see her dedication and commitment.

Week had a multi-zone training this week and it was amazing! They gave us a really good fireside idea about lehi's vision of the iron rod, I really enjoyed it, we plan on using that in southribble. We already brought it up in coordination meeting. It sounds like it won't happen for awhile but we will keep trying.

This week we were able to get Fiona to go to the baptism of Anna Marie. It was a good experience. Anna Marie is so solid she even gave Fiona a lift to church on Sunday. She is already doing her services as member. Her and Istvan are two powerful Hungarian members!

This week we will probably be spending most of our time in preston, because we have a lot to teach Fiona in the next 2 weeks to prepare her for baptism.

Well, I Hope ya'll are getting ready for back to school season! I'm not looking forward to another british winter. It doesn't get as cold as winters in utah, but the humidity makes it feel really cold no matter how many layers of cloths you put on. But atleast I know what to expect.
