The General Epistle of Samuel (Where did that transfer go?!)

This past transfer, despite its challenges, seems to have absolutely flown by. We are enjoying an already productive week. Much better than has been happening in the past. We struggled this past week to find some new investigators but we found a lot of potential people we could begin teaching. We had a lesson yesterday with this younger guy that just moved from London because he absolutely messed his life up. If I had time I'd tell the whole story but to make it short we ended up having an hour and a half lesson with the guy yesterday that was very powerful. Despite being in the library surrounded by people, as we testified of the truth of The Book of Mormon it seemed as though we were alone in the building. There was no noise and time seemed to stand still for a moment as the spirit lingered. It was incredible. We are seeing him later this week. I am praying that he holds onto that feeling and acts on what we shared.

I am excited for this new transfer. I will be staying in Colchester but I'll be getting a new companion. His name is Elder Bright. I think he is from Utah. That's probably a safe guess. He is from my MTC group so that is companion number three that will be from my group. He is a pretty happy guy and is great at loving missionaries so this transfer will be an improvement I feel. A crazy wake up call this week as well is the fact that this transfer is the last transfer for the sisters in my MTC group so I am nearing the 18 month mark. Still a lot of good work left to do! 

We have some other exciting news in our mission too. All the zone leaders had a conference call with President Jordan a few nights back to talk about how we were doing for the month of November. He then surprised us with the announcement that Elder Quentin L. Cook of the twelve will be coming to our mission next week for a mission wide conference. The mission is very excited. Especially since Elder Cook served in our mission. He was even companions with Elder Holland in Romford area the zone I was just over when I was in Basildon. It will be a great conference. I'll be sure to talk about some highlights next week. 

Well that's about all the updates I have for this week. Glad to hear you are all well and are excited for the holiday season. I love you all!

Love,

Elder Dalton
