Hey everyone!

 

Well, I am definitely staying in Liverpool! Huzzah! But Elder Peterson is leaving, so there's goes my hope of Chinese fluence (is that a word? Possibly). I will miss him. But in his stead comes......Elder Aulenbach, from Alberta, Canada! He is fresh from the England MTC, so he is full of energy and excitement. I haven't had a ton of time with him yet, but I'm very excited to get to know him and to learn from him.

 

I love Liverpool so much. It is an amazing place. Our investigators are great. This week, we were blessed to be able to find a woman named Giselle, from France. Her parents are Congolese and she has been here for about a month. She had been looking for a church, and we stopped her in the street and she invited us to come back and visit. She is great. She understands everything and likes it. The best part is, she came to church on Sunday and loved it! She brought her two year old son, Jordan, and he liked it as well. The Lord has really blessed us here.

 

Things are going great. Missionary work is amazing because you can physically see the extra strength that the Lord gives you. At the end of the day, you look back at all that you were able to do and say, "How in the world did I do that?" The answer is, the Lord was doing it through you. I love this work so much and I am so grateful for the chance I have to share the everlasting gospel with the people here. Please continue to pray for me and the people of England. I love you all so much and I am grateful for the examples that you are to me and for the love and support that you show me. I am grateful for your friendship and your kindness. Keep up the good work, and Keep the Faith!

 

Love,
