Hello Family and Friends,
Well news has got around that my family emails have been kinda lame!( Maegan)! So I'm gonna try and spice this one up with many interesting facts and side notes to explain in detail my many swashbuckling experiences!
I had my first driving lesson The other day. I think that by law you basically have to take at least one driving lesson but anyways it was pretty weird not only driving a car again ( which i haven't done in 11 months now) but also driving on the left side of the road and also having the wheel be on the right side of the car. Plus all the signs here are completely different and they barely even have any traffic lights its mostly just roundabouts! It was definatly what you might call a swashbuckling experience and i think my companion in the back seat was a bit nervous probably cause i didn't act nervous at all and my instructor yelled at me at least five times for speeding! How was i supposed to know there are speed cameras on like every corner and that if you even go 2 miles per hour over the limit they will take your picture! Its alright we made it our of there alive and we'll even be doing round 2 on Thursday!
We decided to climb what they call a Mountain ( really a large hill ) and were disappointed to find that it was too foggy to see anything! They told us that from the top of the hill you can get a sweet view of the sea!
Last Friday was Cam's baptism so that's the picture of Elder Lindsrom and I with those two kids ( the Taylor Family). The Ward here is like my Family and it is really gonna suck to leave them!
We had a Thanksgiving at Avril and Leightons it was awesome that giant red thing that i am hold is what the Brits call a Christmas cracker. you hold one end and have the person next to you hold the other end and then you pull and it pops and out comes a present and a Joke! Ya i know British People of some weird traditions! So next week i probably wont be emailing until like Tuesday or Thursday because of transfers. Which i am like 98% sure i am getting transferred! I'll Probably have to serve in England as well!
OK so I realized this Email is kinda boring so i guess I'll tell you a story...............
So there we were! It was MId autumn day, the leaves were falling as they tend to do in autumn time except for British autumns last like 2 days until all the leaves are just gone! But anyways there we were! Just knocking some doors as missionaries tend to do! I, being a Eagle Scout and always being prepared, was carrying a backpack ( rucksack in British) full of pamphlets about the plan of salvation and restoration.I like to hand out the pamphlets when we tract( knock doors). Well anyways there we were knocking doors! We start talking to this guy and to be honest i cant even remember what we talked about nor what he even looked like all i can remember is the whole time we were talking i kept receiving the prompting to give him a plan of salvation pamphlet. But me being a stubborn prideful man was using my own wisdom and based on what he was talking about decided that he needed to know about the restoration not the plan of salvation! so i reach into my backpack and find a restoration Pamphlet. Pause!
Now at this point I absolutely knew without a shadow of a doubt that when i reached into that rucksack i grabbed a restoration pamphlet and i knew that what was in my hand and what i was giving him was a restoration pamphlet!
Now unpause he says a couple more words and then i hand him the pamphlet! But the pamphlet that he received from me was a Plan of Salvation Pamphlet!! Not a RESTORATION! Ah man it was crazy! i almost pooped my pants after that!
Haha man I'm glad God helps me with this work haha cause i do some stupid things sometimes! God was gonna teach that guy the Plan of Salvation weather i liked it or not! haha no one can stop this work not even the weak kids who preach it all across the world. Makes me feel better knowing as long as i do my best things work out! God is Real and that was a Miracle! Maybe if you guys are good and send me lots of letters this month I'll share and even cooler experience!
Tara, Elder J Weihing
