Chapel Tours and Driving Test

Hey up lads and lasses, blokes and bloketts! This week was full of going to Leeds and taking a U.K. driving test, a miracle of knocking on someone's door, chapel tours for days, and Helen's big day is this Saturday.

     

So I'll get the bad news out of the way, even though the good defiantly out weighs the bad this week. I went to Leeds this Friday to take my Theory test (the written portion of the U.K. Driving test) and I failed by one question! I was pretty bummed, but I will be taking it again in a couple of weeks and will definitely ace it! It was my first time walking the streets in Leeds. It's defiantly bigger than Newcastle and York. There were loads of people everywhere... haha.

     

A quick miracle story to share with you guys. Elder Selk and I didn't have any appointments in the evening time, so we decided to knock on people's doors. This is a very bad time to knock and people are usually unreceptive, but I felt good about doing it for some reason. We knocked on this lasses door and she was very friendly to us. She told us how she didn't believe in religion because there are so many different views and people take advantage of it. She said that she hoped something was out there and wanted to know what was true. We weren't able to go in and teach her because of our mission rule, that if a single female is in her home alone we can't go inside, so we told her that we would come by and share more tomorrow. We gave her a Book of Mormon, got her number, and headed off. The next day we came back to teach her with the senior couple missionaries in our ward, the Burnetts, and she told us that she was already on page 20 in the Book of Mormon!! We were so excited and since then we've given her a chapel tour and have plans to introduce her to more members at church and help her get to Helen's baptism!!

     

On the same day of our chapel tour with that lass, we gave a chapel tour to a woman named Fola. She's from Nigeria. She sounds very promising. I found a nice quote from a friend most people know. Like the famous Yoda once said, "Do or do not, there is no try." You can do anything that you set your mind to! Cheers!
