May 7, 2018 Crazy Week!

This week has been crazy! Liverpool is a huge city and it was a bit of a culture shock this week seeing so many people. The work has been good just really trying to get the hang of things with the area, members and investigators. There are loads of prepared people here though. We taught our friend Pedram from Iran this week who is progressing towards baptism on the 26th of May. He is great and has lots of potential. We also found some people through the phone, especially one named Muhammad who seems very prepared. I am really excited to get more used to things and to find more people to teach! 

The Liverpool ward has about 200 active members (a little smaller than Chorley 4) and has members from over 40 countries. One thing that I’m really excited about is that there are MANY Brazilian members (@mom and dad). The Bishop is super on top of things and there are many strong families. It’s a great ward, I love it! 

We had MLC this week and it was super powerful. Sad that two of my former companions, Elder Tuipulotu and Vincent will be leaving at the end of this transfer. Another fun thing was that we got to go visit Warrington to help one of the new district leaders and it was so crazy to be back! Also, finally got to see Eleanor! (The one I taught in Chorley) she goes to uni in Liverpool and so I got to see her! 

It’s been amazing to see and experience many many witnesses this week that I am meant to be in Liverpool. One example, there was a lady yesterday who randomly was walking around the church and so we started talking to her and she said she was from Blackpool but was in Liverpool for a couple days and she happened to be walking by. To make it better she also has been to Utah and lived in Ludlow, England for many years! There is no way that is just coincidence. #divinedesign
