June 26, 2017 Harry Potter

This week was super spiritually uplifting. We had our last multi-zone
conference with President Ulrich and it was so powerful. He is one of
the most powerful, influential speakers I have ever heard. He and
Sister Ulrich leave this Friday. It will be sad! But we will be doing
service at the mission home today with them which should be fun.

Work wise there hasn't been too much happening. We have a friend
Bernard from Zimbabwe who me and Elder Hargiss found but lost contact
with and then the sisters met him and so we taught him together. He
committed to a baptismal date but then didn't keep his next
appointment and didn't come to church. We saw him today though at the
store when we went to get groceries and will see him Wednesday! We saw
Anthony and had a super good lesson and he enjoyed it. But
unfortunately he is unpredictable and we haven't been able to see him
properly again. We haven't been able to see Michael and Kingsley.

Some highlights from this week:
Had the privilege to teach at a high school (15-16 year olds
specifically) about the early history of the church and the movement
west. It was neat and nice to solve some misconceptions that people
have about the church. I was privileged enough to confirm the sisters
investigator Shalu on Sunday and it was really special. She doesn't
speak English super well but the Spirit speaks all languages and she
really felt it and was emotional. Funny thing, for her baptism the
font wasn't working so we had to get buckets of water and fill up the
font that way. It was pretty crazy. We also had a BBQ at a members
home and they are from Africa so we had real, proper meat and it was
absolutely amazing.

Funny quote of the week:
Me: What would you say is your purpose in life?
Girl we tracted into: "Just to look after hamsters and kids, and
worship Harry Potter." (I love it so much when British people say
Harry Potter).

Hope you all have an amazing week!
