Family and Friends!
Time seems to sift away each week haha

The Greatest part of my week definently came from meeting my new friend David.
He went through a faith testing experience recently and his little boy was very poorly. David has never really reached out to God but at this moment of great trouble and distress he brought himself to a chapel in the hospital and sought for divine comfort. It was beautiful as he rehearsed his experience and when I met him on the bus I instinctively tried to answer his questions with the Book of Mormon. I believe that he has been prepared and we are meeting with him tonight.

I love this work in this area! I see miracles each day and look for the good in each person!
Be the change in the world my friends.
You will see the hand of god in your life.

Hello Friends and Family, 
The miracles build up each week and my gratitude for the power of godliness continues.
This week in the simplest terms was TRANSITION. After having the online proselytising training and Zone Conference this week we have full started speaking to our friends and teaching them about Christ online! 
Its such a change for me considering I haven't even seen face book in over a year! The Church has always adapted to appropriate use of technology in furthering the work of the lord. What a blessing to have this last 9 months of missionary work be transitioning for using media wisely. 
As we contact in the streets or on the public transportation it is now so natural to use Facebook to connect. This time really has amazed me at what we have been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time. 

This week has been wonderful though! We were following our plans this week and tracting in a specific area only to finish and feel so confused with no success. We humbled ourselves and realised there was purpose to us being there we found a small area in which we had missed and met a very kind woman who told us that she had been baptised in Scotland as a child. If we never prayed we never would have been led to meet her! Julie loved us seeing her and wants to start meeting again. 

Proverbs3:
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

I love this work and feel like I am chasing time. 
There is no wasted time in the service of the lord.
