What a great it has been! We taught a few lessons. It was really hot at the beginning of the week and raining by the end of it!
This is how the week went
On Monday,
I had a doctors appointment in Glasgow so we went to Glasgow for
basically the whole day! It honor of Aunt Jill, I went to the Hard Rock
cafe and bought a Hard Rock Glasgow shirt! We also went to a American
sweet store in the Buchanan galleries. I bought some A&W root beer
for my birthday of the 6th of August.
We took a train back in the evening and went to Helensburgh, where we went finding for the rest of the evening!
On Tuesday,
we traveled by train to district meeting in Glasgow. We talked about
teaching simply so that our investigators can understand. We also
practice relating objects to the Gospel. It proved very useful to help
our investigators relate to the Gospel by the things they use
everyday!
In the evening we taught a man
named Mark at the Church! We taught about the Holy Ghost and the
Restoration! He was taught before by previous missionaries but he didn't
really understand it seems. Hopefully we can meet him again so we can
help him grow a knowledge in the Gospel.
On Wednesday,
we taught a man named Jeremiah, who we found the day before. He grew up
in Birmingham, England but is originally from Jamaica. We taught him
the Restoration and focused on the Book of Mormon. He said he liked the
way he was living but we committed him to read the Book of Mormon and
pray to really know if what we were sharing is true.
We
went to the Gallachers that evening for dinner! We had a really good shepherds pie and chocolate cake! Afterwards we shared a message on the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. I related the Gospel to a map that we can use to
direct our life's in the right path!
After
that we went with Brother Gallacher to visit some less- active members!
We visit two older ladies, Morrag (My spelling) and Henrietta. We shared
to both about the Sabbath day and why we come to church.
On Thursday,
we taught a woman in the evening named Dorthy Bryce. She really likes
the church but has a hard time committing to Baptism because of Health
problems. We hope to continue to meet with her to help her
understanding.
The rest of the day we spent finding!
On Friday, we had our appointments fall through so we spent the whole day finding.
Our ward mission leader brought a BBQ ranch pizza for dinner which really helped after a long day of finding!
On Saturday,
We met with a woman in our ward, named Ann Browning. She took us out to
lunch. She took us to a really good pub! I got a Southern Fried Chicken
sandwich with fried Mac and Cheese on top. It was HUGEEE, I had a hard
time taking a bite into that thing! She also bought us desert there
which was so nice of her! Its really nice to be supported by the
members!
Afterwards, we went to help a Sister
in the ward, Sister Burns, mow here lawn. Her husband is unable to
because of medical problems. After mowing, we were able to sit down with
both of them. David Burns, her husband, isn't a member so it was good
to get to know him!
In the evening, we had
Ward Coordination with Johnathan Martin, our ward mission leader. Before
he took us to get Fish and Chips at a really good chippie! We had a
good ward coordination meeting and we were able to discuss the needs for
missionary work!
.
On Sunday, we had a
wonderful church meeting! We talked in Priesthood about "Always
retaining a remission of your sins" by Elder David A. Bednar off the
Quorum of the Twelve apostles. It was a great lesson and a talk i
recommend reading!
After church we had dinner
at the Coupers, a big family in the ward. They made a great dinner, a
roast dinner! We were grateful for letting us come to dinner! We shared
about what Heavenly father
In the evening we went finding and it poured! We got soaked. Someone was even water skiing during the storm!
What a great week!
I love being a missionary! Its great and I feel great!
I hope you all have a great week!
Love,
Elder Joseph Udy
