Well we had Zone Conference this week and so we had to leave our flat about 7:30 to get to the conference about 45 minutes before the conference started (which is ideal so we can spiritually prepare), so we left and arrived at the train station only to watch our train pulling away EARLY??? So the next train came an hour later and would still get us there on time but not early so we waited and then once our train came IT BROKE. The electricity went out and the train wouldn't even turn on. We sat there for an hour and I was having a proper freak out staring at my watch. Zone conference literally started in 10 minutes and we were still in St Helen's train station #anxiety. They ended up kicking everyone off the train. We then saw two other missionaries, Elder Prudencio (from the Phillipines) and Elder Murphy (from England) get off the same train which brought us loads of comfort knowing that we weren't the only rubbish missionaries that would be arriving very late to zone conference. We called a member and luckily he was able to get us there and we were only an hour late 😂. Stress level 5000 y'all.
We met up with both Libby and Ash! It's crazy to me that I didn't even know these two people a month ago and now we see them multiple times a week! We took Libby to our ward Halloween party which was slightly cringy but we made the best of it! Also, we are going to the temple with her this week! Also, she even went and bought dresses to wear to church and she will be coming this week! We are so excited! Our other friend Ash is also doing well. We gave him a chapel tour and he's going to come to church this upcoming week hopefully!
We had the Primary Program this week on Sunday and if you're wondering, Yes- British children singing and sharing testimonies is by far the cutest thing ever. The spirit was so strong and they did so well. Actually teared up whilst they sang "A Child's Prayer". It really got me thinking when they sang the phrase "Some say that heaven is far away, but I feel it close around me as I pray." I can testify that the Heavens are in fact open and we can access them through prayer. Some months ago, President Nelson's wife told us to envision the deceased ancestors of the people we teach. Think of how much they long for someone to do their work. I know that there are seen and unseen forces moving this work along.
Love you all have a good week! 🍁🍂
