Stockport Week 3

How is it that I've been out here for three weeks?! It feels like I've been out here for at least 3 months. Time is weird here in the mission field.

This week I had my first zone conference! We traveled over to the YSA building and met with the rest of my zone and the manchester zone. President McReynolds is SO funny. He cracked so many jokes about the world cup. England did win yesterday though so... Anyway, in zone conference we talked about being led by the spirit. They talked about how in all that we do as missionaries, since we are doing the Lord's work, we need to be guided by the spirit. They also talked about how we can have the companionship of the spirit. I know that if you keep the Lord's commandments and ask for the companionship of the Spirit, you can have the spirit to be with you always.

What else did I do this week? We had a decent amount of lessons with people. We are still working closely with both Kevia and Ian. Ian came to church yesterday so we are so happy about that! We taught him the second lesson this week and he feels really solid about everything. He is so prepared! Kevia is hard to meet with because she is going through a stressful time right now so she is not progressing as much. We are still working as much as we can with her, though, and she is slowly but surely getting there. 

The ward here in Stockport is so fun! The members are all so friendly and willing to help. We had tea (dinner) with Sister McLane and the Bishops family this week. We try to work with members as closely as we can and it's really working out. I love Stockport!

Also interesting story, on Thursday we were walking up and down the main street in Stockport, the A6, and we talked with these people in front of a gas station. One of the men was reeaallly drunk but the woman there seemed interested. We were sad because we didn't have a chance to talk to her for a long time before she had to go. But THEN the next day we were going to do a street display in the town centre and we ran into her again. We had more time to talk with her then and we invited her and her husband in church. What a coincidence!

I really do love doing missionary work, even if it is sometimes hard. Thank you for all your support! Until next week!
