I am officially done with training! I will be staying in Warrington and will be serving with Elder Fan! He is from China and is actually a Chinese called Elder. (Shoutout to Melia)
This past week was great. Although things haven't been working out with Stephen and no one came to church, we found a few new investigators! Me and Elder Tate worked really hard this past week and we were determined to finish the transfer strong and I think we did that. We had some neat experiences with inspired finding and even though not all of the people we found ended up being solid, I am grateful for those experiences of being directed by the Spirit.
So we were not able to get ahold of Stephen after he didn't come to church. We couldn't get ahold of him until Wednesday when he called us and told us that he needed some space and that he needed to work somethings out with his family and that he would contact us in two weeks. So we are just praying hard for him that he won't give up on everything and that he will be able to sort things out.
We saw Kate on Friday with two sisters in the ward and the Spirit was really strong and she connected really well with the sisters. Kate has done a little reading but she wasn't able to come to church. She did say she would come next week though! We were not able to see Carole because she is very busy but we have daily contact with her.
In church yesterday, there was a man named Chris that the sisters invited and they asked if we would teach him. He is so prepared. His fiancé is a member and he knows lots about the church. In Priesthood at church we talked about the Word of Wisdom and Chris said after that it just makes sense and he even said that he would go give away all his tea and coffee that night! Then we saw him on Monday and it was really great and he committed to baptism!
Random highlights: carved pumpkins on Halloween, had tea with lots of members which was really lucky and we also volunteered for the Poppy Appeal which is an organisation which supports veterans. (Look it up) Fun week!
I am excited for this next transfer. It should be a great, new, different experience. I am also excited about the future of this area. I think the work is moving along and there is lots of potential. I am grateful for Elder Tate and for all that he taught me and did for me. He will be the new district leader in Crosby, which is still in the Liverpool zone!
Hope you all have an amazing week!
-Elder Ludlow
