Hi, It's a new transfer day! I'm staying in Brixton with Elder Muller! Also, our good friends friends from the Wandsworth area, Elders O'Faolin and Evans are staying as well! I'm very excited about it! And Elder Evans is our new District leader and it's his last transfer so this will be fun for all of us! :) Well, I'm still doing good and l'll try and think of something good to write for this letter....
Ok, so our ward is not that big. Technically, we have about 300 members or something, but only about 30-50 of them are active. We had Ward conference this last sunday, and the stake president rebuked the ward, haha! It was so weird and a bit scary, but he basically told them they had to step up their game to keep this ward surviving and to help the missionaries out as much as possible. So that's good. :) Elder Muller and I are going around the ward list and visiting less active members, and some haven't been to church for ages! This one woman hadn't been for like 10 years or something! So we're inviting them to come back to church, and hopefully it will work so once we find new people to teach, they'll feel welcome at church. Right now that probably isn't the case as much... So yeah, that's what we're up to now.
Dad wanted me to tell a basic day in the life of me as a missionary so here it goes:
6:30- wake up, exercise, shower, eat.
8-10 Study.
Then sometimes we have lunch, sometimes we wait.
Then we go and visit people! Right now we're teaching mostly less active members, but hopefully the ward can start actually doing their home and visiting teaching so we can focus on finding new people who want to know more about or join the church. But we usually don't spend more than 3 hours a day contacting, because we always try to get over 20 teaches a week, and travelling time takes forever! So we're pretty busy, but it's good.
Well, I'll email you again on Monday, so email me before that if possible please! Not just you, mom and dad, but anyone who wants to. :)
The pictures I sent are:
1- Our district taking a cheesy smile picture. As of today though, the guy in the back, but not behind me, went home and we now have Elder Rantsha from Botswana and Scotland. I'll explain that later, probably, haha.
2- This is me and a less active member named Jane. She is Scottish and is one of my favorite people to visit. She has such funny stories, trust me!
Ok, I love you guys! Thanks for the support and love you give me, it makes the days better, even though I'm doing pretty well in the first place. Talk to you Monday, bye!
