This past week was good! We were able to see Chris almost everyday and he is progressing really well towards the 26th for baptism! He is keeping all the commitments and is just so ready. We had a really good week otherwise with the work but we did have two promising investigators Carole and Pam drop us which was really sad. They both said they believe in everything but Carole has concerns about tithing and Pam's husband isn't keen on us teaching her. They will accept the Gospel later :)
So Chris has amazing faith. He has met with missionaries in the past and knows lots. He walked an hour and a half to get to church. And yet we have other investigators who live near but don't come. He says that he has felt the Spirit many times while studying the Book of Mormon and also the leaflets.
We tried by Stephen on Saturday but he was not in so we left a note expressing that we are praying for him, inviting him to church and saying that we hope to hear from him soon. I have faith that he will contact us soon and will be baptised soon also.
Kate did not come to church again which was frustrating. We have decided that we are going to give her over to the sisters because she connects better with women. I have faith that she will be baptised soon but it could take some time.
Random Highlights: We got an announcement saying that we would be using the area book and planner app on the iPads which should be interesting. It will make reporting everything easier but I definitely prefer paper planners. We will see how this goes. In Sacrament meeting we had a moment of silence for the British veterans, which was an interesting experience.
Elder Fan is great. His English is good but he is very humble about it. He is from Chendu, China and is a convert of 2 1/2 years. He has been on his mission since January but has only served in the Manchester YSA area so it is a bit of an adjustment coming to a family ward where we do lots of finding as opposed to lots of activities. I think we will have lots of fun this transfer. My poor companion had to hear a lot about Donald Trump this past week though..
I know that Heavenly Father is directing this work and have strengthened my testimony of that this past week. I love being a missionary.

P.S. It is so nice to have a companion that isn't a stinkin ute fan.

We volunteered again at the poppy appeal.
