The General Epistle of Samuel (Cultured and blessed)

We had a wonderful week this week. We moved our P-day to Friday so we could go with the Waddiloves to Dover Castle. It was a really cool experience. There are about three miles of underground tunnels that have been used from the Napoleonic war to the cold war. Lot's of history about WWII and the evacuation at Dunkirk. All very interesting. The castle was very neat as well.

Throughout the rest of the week we had some great lessons. Rachel is doing well and we'll be seeing her again this week. Chris and his clan are doing great as well. We have narrowed them down to three people we are working with. Chris, Emma, and Jordan. They have all made huge progress since we started teaching them. The other evening we had an appointment scheduled with them and we were planning on inviting them to be baptised. We received a text from them in the morning saying that Chris wasn't well and that they couldn't meet but we just ignored them. We already had a member lined up to come with us and we didn't want to cancel the appointment. The time came and they tried to text us again to say they weren't well enough to have us. Again we ignored them. We went to the appointment and they were happy to receive us. We taught lesson three the gospel of Jesus Christ and the spirit was very strong. When we came to the principle of baptism they knew what was coming. When we invited Chris he said he already knew the book was true so he was in. Jordan said he was ready but Emma was a bit hesitant. Her family threatened to disown her if she went through with it. The member we brought (an 18 year old young man) bore a powerful testimony that helped her figure out what she needed to do the help her family understand. The next day she agreed. It was a wonderful miracle. We will see them again this week. We have been very blessed as of late and we are very grateful for it. 

The work is moving forward here. I am so thankful for this opportunity to be serving the Lord. I don't want it to end! I hope you are all well and that you have a fantastic week!

Love,
