| MTC Group Reunited! (Sister Bills, Sister England, Sister Gwilliam Me, Elder Persicke, Elder Reynolds) |
So we just finished up driving everyone around for moves and man am I exhausted. It was so nice to see so many people that I haven't seen in a while. There were 6 of us from our MTC group so we got to talk and catch up and then we all departed our separate ways again. However, another transfer has already come to an end... it doesn't make sense! But transfer three is going to be a really good one for our zone. Really looking forward to it! We have a lot of baptisms across the zone lined up for these next couple of weeks!!! The Season of Miracles is real!!!

Today we had MLC again. We started things off by doing a study session with everyone and it was lead by President and Sister Gubler. They showed us techniques we can try to have more effective study and making it more personal to ourselves so that will be nice to try applying as time goes on. After we went into council about things that needed to be addressed for the mission and then we learned how to read a tenant packet, and keeping things in order in the flat. But the next MLC will be in 3 weeks so it will be fun to learn more again!

We did the same thing as last transfer, we held our DLC today to go over the things we received from MLC and then what we wanted to do in order to improve our zone. A lot of things are being changed and it's really becoming a little to much but hey, it brings forth miracles so... worth it. We had to push Tracey's baptism to the 17th because we were in Reading all week and couldn't meet with her. But now she is all set and ready to go for Saturday.

Today was such a long day... in a good way. We had our Specialized Zone Training today so that took all day and we also had interviews with President Gubler so that pushed it back even further. We didn't end up finishing it all up until around 8:15pm, and we started at 8:30am. They taught us loads of valuable things to try when we go out contacting and also we reviewed some of the past events that have shown us that God truly is working with us right now in this mission
and how many miracles are coming about left and right. It was a really good day full of everything!=)

We finally, after 7 days in Reading returned back to Farnborough. We got to visit some people today that we hadn't seen for a week. We had some short short lessons with a few and then we had to head home to finish up some planning.
Saturday: October 10th, 2015
We went over to Tammy's in the morning to view our moves lists that were sent out and then we had some bacon sandwiches. After all that we went and saw Tracey and then we visited the Bakers to talk
about family history and the importance of it and temples.

Church was great today! Scott received his first calling in the church so we are super excited for him with that and he also should be receiving the Priesthood this weekend. But we then had pulled pork for dinner and it was delicious. Followed by better than anything cake! Then typical Sunday night of accounting up in Reading to cap off the
week.
Monday October: 12th, 2015
Black Monday!(no p-day) We went and helped Tammy put up some new curtains and I'm glad my mom had the same style at home and so I knew how to put them up on the rod so that was fun to do. I can be a handy man when required I guess. haha. But we then had a temple trip planned
with the Bakers and they all got really sick except for Scott so us three "went" the reason I say "went" is because we got stuck in traffic for two hours because of an accident and so we decided after looping around trying to go a different way and we ended up at the same place after an hour, so we just called it quits... there's a reason we couldn't go and thats all that matters.
Its been a really good week so far and we have Tracey's baptism this Saturday so it is going to be even better. I don't know how some people can't see that God truly has restored his Church back to the earth and how we as his servants are doing our best to help them come to that knowledge. A lot of people are finally realizing it over here and it truly a miracle. So many good things happening each day in every part of the mission!!!

Scripture for the week:
2 Nephi 28:30
"For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have."
I love you all and hope you have a great rest of your week!!!
