Mom,
I have one simple easy answer to
your first question, YES! I’m happy I came on my mission it has been the best
thing so far, it has also sucked, it’s been hard, it’s been depressing, but I
am happy. The ward is feeding us enough, a recipe book would be pretty good. Just
remember I have basically no Mexican food haha or at least it’s really
expensive lol. I don’t have to do lessons in the ward now we are teaching
enough people for me to teach. It wasn't really about that, I’m fine now by the
way, even though I wasn't really that worse off. but thank you, what it was
about is that I may be a missionary I may be teaching some people, but it’s
those times were I have a few moments to think that I just think about what am I
even doing? Haha the people we have aren’t really progressing but that will
come we knock on doors a lot and we talk to people on the street all the time. It
was just about what my brain and what my heart feels like I’ve been here for. It
just seems too selfish to say that I’m doing it for me and it seems too easy to
say I’m doing it because it is my priesthood duty, although both of those are
true. Opening up a new area means that I and elder Gurney came into Grimsby
having no former investigators from the people behind us because there was no
one here before us. There has always been elders in Grimsby but there has never
been 2 sets of elder in Grimsby, me and elder gurney are that new second set. Same
with me and elder Olsen in newton ayecliffe. It would be cool to have a recipe
book the other guys in my flat want to know some stuff too so I can show them. You
could get me a marvelous work and a wonder just try to get a cool one not like
a generic missionary library one haha. Thanks for having kc get me that I’ll be
looking for this stuff. As for this last week it has been pretty good. We got a
mormon.org
referral (someone wanting us to talk to them) he is from Northern Ireland, has
a pregnant wife and one child already. He was pretty cool when we talked to him
he had a lot of really good questions that we answered pretty good lesson. Oh
yea one more thing he is a Baptist pastor! Pretty crazy but he just wants to
learn more. Um let’s see oh we are talking to this other guy he is from Nigeria
he was a family and was taught like a year ago by missionaries. He is a boss.
those are our most solid ones right now I guess we have a few more that we
kinds need to drop because we have good luck getting in with people but then
they never what to see us a second time so the just stop talking to us. One
other thing cool happened this last week. Which kind of has a back story a
little bit. So we were walking through this ghetto part of town and we walked
by some Jehovah witnesses. Naturally they wanted to talk to us, when I say talk
I mean that the wife wanted to talk with us, the husband wanted to bash with
us. Elder gurney took on the husband while I had a really good conversation
with the wife, she is from Russia originally and has been a witness ever since
she moved to England. Over the conversation elder gurney and I were able to set
up a meeting to go to the kingdom hall (the Jehovah witness’s chapel) and get
silver editions (Jehovah witnesses messed up bible). We went in everyone was
super nice and we got the bibles! Haha but yes I have it now she signed it for
me and I’m going to keep it as a souvenir. But I gotta go I’m going to get
kicked off I love you mom I hope you have a good week :)
Love Jer
