March 20, 2017 Glue..?!



So our first couple days of the transfer were interesting.. when we
first arrived at our flat it was an absolute disaster. We had to spend
our first day deep cleaning it and then  getting groceries. Then we
spent the next morning in the hospital.. haha :). So I FINALLY got to
play basketball for the first time in SEVEN MONTHS and of course I get
hurt.. so I was shooting around and I ran and picked up the ball when
it rolled near the wall and I picked it up and went to shoot and when
I jumped up I hit my head on a metal cage that was on the wall
protecting a light. There was a good amount of blood but luckily not
too serious. Went to the hospital and really lucky only had to get it
glued together. Might have gotten a very mild concussion but really
fun stuff!

This past week work wise was great though! The work here in Man South
is amazing. There are so many prepared people and it has been amazing
the little miracles we have had finding great people. The work is
moving forward and there is so much potential! We are working with an
investigator named Lee who the former elders taught and he is doing
pretty well.

We saw Lee on Friday and had a great first lesson. He has a testimony
of the Gospel but just struggles with smoking and fully committing. He
said he would come to church but then cancelled last minute. Satan is
working hard on him and we helped him realise that when we saw him
last night. The Spirit has been super strong as we have taught him and
he seems more committed now. We are working towards April 8th for
baptism for him!

We are excited to work with the ward here. There are about 100 active
members and they are really good with working with missionaries. And
yes there is a basketball court at the church!

I am excited to work with Elder Hargiss. A little more about him: He
is from Arkansas and played American football before his mission and
is planning on trying our for the BYU team when he gets home. He is
only 18 like me and we are the youngest people in our groups that we
came out with. He is very persistent and that has been really good.

I am happy and am doing well. Hope you all have a great week!!

Got a picture with Kate last week before leaving Warrington. It was
hard to say bye to the wonderful people there.
