This week was my first week in a new area and it has been quite an adventure! My companion, Sister Mueller, and I whitewashed, which means that neither of us were in the area before. The majority of the week was getting ourselves acquainted with the area and getting to know the members of the ward. We also started going through our area book and contacting people who haven't been contacted in a while to see if they're still interested in meeting. A few people responded and said that we could meet with them this week!
Something I've noticed already in this area is how amazing the member missionary work is! The members of the ward here are so willing to bring their friends and family to church. We even had one member just come up to us this Sunday and give us her friend's number to contact. I know that as we all lift where we stand that we can help prepare the world for the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. I love this gospel so much!
I was given the opportunity to speak in church on Sunday and I spoke on the role of the Book of Mormon in gaining a testimony. Elder Bowen of the 70 spoke on this topic in the most recent conference. I've seen that my testimony has grown as I've set time apart to read the Book of Mormon. I wanted to invite each of you to set time apart in your day to read the Book of Mormon, especially you sisters who have just been invited by President Nelson to read the Book of Mormon by the end of the year. I know that as you do so that you will feel the spirit more in your life. The Book of Mormon is amazing!
In letter to Mom: I forgot to mention in my group email but I get to drive here in Gaerwen... drive! It has been quite the adventure but I've only gone the wrong way on a one way street twice now so don't worry. The area I'm in right now is also so beautiful. We are right by the ocean and everything is so green. Look up pictures of northern wales and you'll see what i mean. I know you appreciate the beauty of nature so you will definitely appreciate that.
