Concert Crashers

Hello everyone! This week was great! We did lots of finding and not a lot of teaching but exams will be over soon and I'm pumped! Also, we already have transfer calls this coming Saturday/Sunday. I can't believe it. Everyone pray I stay in YSA!

On Tuesday we had the wonderful opportunity to go to a concert! There's a band called the Nashville Tribute that was visiting England because one of the band members served their mission here. So they offered us and our investigators a free concert. Only 3 zones in the mission were able to attend and I felt super lucky to get to go. It was really good and really spiritual. We took Diego and he loved it and at the end, President McReynolds came over and roasted him for still not being baptised. Oh! One of the band member's wives was actually a Springville Red Devil so of course we took a pic. #RDP

Also Ed Sheeran performed at Man United Stadium 10 min away from my flat but unfortunately we weren't able to crash that concert :(

Update on Paul with the lucky number "444" yall may remember, I mentioned him in my last email. He ran into the elders! He asked them "Hey do you two know a 'Loren'?" (lol we're on that first name basis thanks to Facebook) but he read page 444 in the book of Mormon and loved it and wants to meet with us!
We had someone unexpectedly come to church. Mauricio, a man from Mexico. We met him on the street and invited him to church last week and he came last week and yesterday! And he's started reading in the book of mormon. We set up a time to meet him this week.
We've spent the past few weeks doing loads of finding and it's starting to pay off! We have a couple people that are really interested and we will meet with them this week.

On a less happy note, Friday, we received a call from the elders serving in my previous area. They informed me that my recent convert, Pat is in the hospital with a brain tumor and undergoing a 7-hour surgery. It's been difficult to stay in touch with Pat. She doesn't have Facebook or even email. But the members have told me that she hasn't missed a Sunday and they are giving her lots of love and support. We got an update Sunday and she's doing well and recovering in a hospital in Liverpool.

That was my week:) love you all!
