You alright everyone! It's been another good week in the kingdom. We taught a Romanian lady, went to a groovy ward Christmas party, and I'm dreaming of a White Christmas!
Well, it's that time of the year when everyone's putting up their Christmas trees and the sun starts setting at 3 o'clock. I love serving in the North Shields area, because when there are no people in the streets and we don't have any lessons planned, we talk to people on the metro!
One cool thing that happened this week was that I taught a Romanian lady in Romanian. Was it the gift of tongues? No, it was the gift of Google translate... haha! This super nice Romanian lady let us in, because she really loves Jesus Christ. Her husband wasn't too bothered. We tried initially to speak very slow in English to her, but she couldn't understand. So we taught her the Restoration through Google translate! We would speak into the tablet, then it would translate into Romanian and speak to her. In the end she is a very busy lady, but we have scoped out someone who speaks Romanian in the stake to visit her.
Yes, our ward Christmas party was this week. There wasn't Zumba like in York last year, but there was Karaoke haha! It was a good time. The Chris that was baptized in November, came and is adjusting really well into the ward and is actually going to Institute next week! We tried to get him to do karaoke, but no success. Some ward members brought their non member friends, so we chatted with them a bit. Overall, it was a good laugh time!
I'm defiantly dreaming of a White Christmas this year. On Thursday, there was a big snow storm. Like the most snow that I've ever seen in England! I was super exited to for it!! It only lasted that day, but it reminded me of back home and was a nice treat. I'm hoping that we'll get loads of snow on Christmas Day!
Another reason why it's going to be a White Christmas is that we are going to be having another baptism this week! Chris passed his interview and is getting dunked on Thursday!! The Lord has blessed me so much with prepared people and it's such an exciting thing to see. There's another lady that we've been teaching that is working towards her goal of the 23rd of December.
Anyways, I hope that you all are having a good one and playing in the snow in America, because I will for sure be doing that next year haha.
Have a good one ..... cheers!
