It has been a good first week in Oldham! It was really hard to leave Chorley and the members there and it’s been a bit of a hard adjustment but we’ve seen some amazing miracles and we are excited to see the work move forward in our area! We have a great friend Angelina from Portugal who has been taught almost everything and is just waiting until she is 18 in April to be baptised. We received a referral from Mormon.org named David and he is from Romania and we were able to teach him yesterday and he is halfway through the Book of Mormon and asked us some really good questions. He has lots of potential!
Our recent convert of 3 weeks Deborah is amazing and is doing lots of missionary work! Her sister and her sisters boyfriend, Mary and Dean came to church last week and we were also able to teach them this week and it was great. Deborah’s brother Brandon has always been in the lessons and he just laughs and asks unnecessary questions and it was quite annoying. But he came to church yesterday with his girlfriend and he loved it! He seemed to have a total change of heart and he asked us later if we would meet with him and he said he’s not ready to be baptised now because he needs to work on the commandments but what a miracle! My testimony of the power of attending church was strengthened even more from this experience.
So just wanted to share a little bit more about Oldham! It is in the northern Manchester area and so because of that there are people from all around the world. The ward has just over 100 active members and there are some really solid members but also lots of old people. Our area borders the Leeds mission and has lots of hills and colder weather. I love the people and am excited to serve them!
Random highlights: had MLC and is was really good. Also got to see my MTC President! He lives in the stake and is the high councillor over Missionary work!
