It has been a great week! So much has changed but it's been good. I'm in a new area now. It's called Stretford and it's the family ward in Manchester City Centre. It's fun to be back in the city, though I miss the beauty of Wales. My new companion is Sister Price and she is so sweet. She's from Canada and we were in the MTC together. The area is good. There are loads of people all around and we get to meet people from different backgrounds.
Something I've been pondering on a lot this week is faith. I read this great ensign talk on the faith to reap that talks about how we can gain those blessings that Heavenly Father desires to give to us. It asks us to have faith in Jesus Christ, align our wills with God's, and go to work. My favourite part of the talk was was when he talked about how faith can only make things happen when our desires are aligned with God's. God won't make something happen that is against his will. It helped me realize that if something didn't happen in the work and we did all we could that it must not have been God's will. That perspective requires a lot of trust in God but he also knows what is best for us.
This coming week we have zone conference. We get to give a training on the Book of Mormon. We also have MLC and splits with a couple of the sisters. It should be fun! I'll talk to you all next week! Love you all!
