Hello Everyone!
Things are going good.
We had exchanges this week and were in town centre oyming
(opening your mouth) and it was pouring rain.
So we were trying to stay in the shelter and we were at the cross
road. I said I thought we should go this
way, so we went that way and there were two people on the whole thing. One wasn’t at all interested. The other one
started to take the survey. As we were asking questions, the person said they
knew all about that stuff because they used to be a member. Come to find out it was one we had been
looking for previously that week. We
headed to another appointment in the pouring rain and we were running for the
shelter of the bus stop. It started to
slow down for a little bit so we started off again, only to get about 50 yards
away and it dropped again! So we were
like whatever- let’s just go and we got sooo wet and drenched. But it was all for a good cause.
One evening we had a few minutes before a dinner appointment
and so we stopped at the bus stop to do a gap.
A gap is what we do in our mission for practice. You do a principle from
one of the missionary lessons with a scripture and a question all in two
minutes. So we practice teaching
continuously. It is really amazing and I
have seen it work a lot.
A lot of finding for the week, and a service project for
some of the members. That was really
good.
On Monday, the whole mission was able to watch the World Cup
finals. President gave permission to do
so, if they were recorded we could watch them on Monday during the day. So we able to do that and have dinner with a
member. During the dinner came the
transfer calls from President. I will be
staying in the same area, but my companion is moving to another place. President asked me to be a trainer for a
brand new missionary. I don’t know even know who he will be. Going to London for some meetings and meeting
him then. I was really shocked. Excited
for the chance, but also nervous about it.
We’ll see how it goes. One of the
other missionaries in our foursome has also been transferred out.
I have to say that since my mission I have come to
understand the importance of family history a whole lot more. Love, Elder Stevenson
