Week 61: Power Walking

Hey people around the world! It was another crazy week, and yes we may

have chased a few people down to talk to them. Always the best.

We had 2 awesome exchanges! The first one was with Sister Beck in

Lincoln. We had some time to stop by less actives and talk to people

on the way. There was this one girl booking it down the road, speed

walking to class. I do my best to stop her and she says "can't stop,

uni student, gotta keep moving." Naturally the thing to do is to go

with her. We walked with her for a good ten minutes, and in the end

she wanted to meet with us!  She also dated a Mormon at one point in

her life. 2 minutes after we met her, we chased down this other guy

with his son and he also dated a Mormon! He also wanted to learn more.

It was awesome.

Plus we got some nice exercise.

If you remember, about 3 weeks ago Sister Owusu and I were in Lincoln

and met a guy named Ben who was super awesome. Yesterday he got

baptised! While I was there in Lincoln I got to teach him about the

law of tithing. He was just so prepared for everything in the gospel!

We also went on exchange with the sisters in Wylde Green, and I was

there with Sister Lee! She is so awesome. We saw the cutest puppy.

Church on Sunday was pretty amazing, Helena (who we've been teaching

for a few weeks) came for the first time! We took the bus with her.

She wasn't there on time, and the bus to go to church was about to

leave, when she hopped off a different bus and ran to us! It was

amazing. She brought her little boy to church, and he loved primary so

much he told us at the end "we are coming again next week!"

Cool miracle, we met this guy named Valentine a while ago who never

showed up to his appointment. I ran into him on the street again and

he told us he wanted to see us! We saw him on Saturday, and he's one

of those people who asks all the right questions. People are so

prepared to accept the gospel sometimes it's ridiculous.

I love being a missionary. I've been thinking about a quote this week,

Elder Holland said "love in the gospel is not divided, but always

multiplied." All the people we meet are amazing. I've become attached

to the people here, all of them have something to offer, and something

for us to learn. When we love them, everything we do somehow becomes easier.

This week is transfers, and things will be crazy, but I'll let you

all know next week!

Love you all, keep it classy people.

Love,

Sister Slack
