Hello everyone! :)
For those that don't know, I have been transfered to Stockport. So I am back in England. And am loving it. I am just outside of Manchester! So it is an area with lots of people and lots of different cultures. My companion is called Elder Maljanen and he is from Finland. So I am now serving with someone that has a completely different background than me. Me and Elder Kunzler had pretty much the same background.
I was able to see 2 baptizm these past few weeks. I was very blessed to see one of my good friends Rikesh get baptized. He was the boy we were working with in Liverpool that his dad wouldn't let him get baptized. He is now one of the newest members of the Liverpool ward. And it was a great experience to see him enter the waters for baptizm :) I was overly excited to see him get baptized. Then this past Saturday, we had a baptsim here ins Stockport. It was a 10 year old boy. He was the only one in his family that hadn't been baptized yet. His name is Ferdi :)
After his baptsim, his dad invited us over for lunch. He is from Angolia in Africa. They speak Portuguese. So it was interesting not knowing what they were saying at all :) they fixed us some typical Africa food, like foo foo, and some chicken. I don't really know what part I ate? I think the whole chicken was in the pot. Maybe a foot or something like that. OH which reminds me. Before I left Wrexham, one of the recently baptized, as of Saturday. members made us this soup. Afterward she told us it was cowtail soup. And it was actually quite nice :)
It snowed for the first time here last week. It snowed for like 5 minutes. Then was melted like 5 minutes later. Everything shuts down when it snows. People don't drive anywhere they just panic. and it was like no snow at all. ONe of the members told me they get lot and lots of snow. So I was expecting like 8 feet of snow... It's like 6 inches of snow a year! I laughed. People aren't that use to snow out here.
It's still hard to believe Beau is home! That doesn't seem possible. I was very excited to hear about his homecoming talk and how he bore his testimony in Hawaiin. I didn't even know Hawaiian was a language!!
Oh one more thing I would like to share. I went to and Evangelical church last Sunday. The lady told us if we went to her church, she would come to ours. It was defiantly an experience I won't forget.
I look forward to this Christmas season! and I invite all of you to take president Ballards commitment to heart. And invite at least one person to come closer to Jesus Christ before Christmas this year! I know you will see miracles from it :) Have a safe and happy holidays, I love you all
