A great day of Independence for sure but remember, your true independence begins when you find the Lord and become free from the flaxen cord that Satan puts around you. Set your real self free and find your true eternal Independence Day by finding and giving yourself to the Savior. This week has been super good but again, busy busy. This week will be even busier with MLC and also our new edition of ZLT or Zone Leader Training. It will be fun and we get to perform the training at President's home and the weather looks promising this week so hopefully England won't fail us! An eventful week though, hopefully this week replicates it again.

We had exchanges today and I got to work with Elder Green and it turns out that he went to Arizona like 4 years ago and was like 20 minutes from my house over by the Salt River Tubing place... Crazy day we had together though. We had some finding and then we had ward council which got cancelled and so we proceeded to have our Tuesday night football session with less actives and many new faces came which was nice. We were able to play on the pitch and it started to rain and let me tell you... I wish I was good at football. That is all.

Finished up exchanges and then we had some stuff to cover and prepare for the next week with President. That took a bit but then we headed to see the Coopers in the evening and were able to have dinner with them. Charlotte made a super sweet nice meat lovers pizza from scratch and boy, it was delicious.

We had one of the most spiritual zone training I've been to on my mission this week with the Crawley Zone. Elder Richins(my trainer) and Elder Baum did a superb job and all the other missionaries that were presenting had an amazing presentation as well. Lots of tears were being shed and the atmosphere of the whole room was just illuminated by the Spirit. It was quite the day and I had a few powerful moments of some of the things that the Zone Leaders had shared... It was a sweet moment for me.

Exchanges round 2 this week with the Maidstone Elders! I got to work with a long awaited opportunity with Elder Wright! He loves basketball and so exercise in the morning was a good time to be able to have all of us playing ball again after wanting to for such a long time. We had a super good day full of miracles! Paul and Linda(2 separate homes) were just stars. We are seeing them both this week and can't wait to see what turns up from the teaches.

Wonderful day at church and fast and testimony meeting was amazing! The Crawley ward just has something special about it and the members have a special glow about them that resonates within everyone! We went knocking later and saw nothing... Not even a seed... But then we had our usual accounting for Sunday and that went well. Had a good number of baptisms!
Verse of the Week:
Alma 37:36
"Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever."
Have a great week everyone! Love you all! Enjoy the fireworks tonight!
