Yesterday as we sat down with our bishop he told us just how lucky we are to be serving in Gaerwen. He is a very straight forward man and said that he just feels that something huge is about to happen. He told us that he is going to invite certain members to step up and either they are in or they are out. There is no middle ground anymore! It was a powerful meeting with him. I feel like I have a better direction of what he wants us to do and where he sees the ward going.
Yesterday was also the mission home fireside. Which is were missionaries and people that they are teaching gather together in Manchester to hear the testimonies of recent converts and returning less active members. We went with the other elders and Kris Little. He got baptised on Saturday. He is absolutely 100% through and through a kingdom builder. He is dating a member right now and they are planning their wedding in the temple next year on the 11 of October! He already seeing baptism as such the beginning. He is looking forward to the temple and being with his family forever :)
We found out this week that we had a Chinese member move into the ward. His name is Jing. He got baptised in Cambridge last year. He is going to be a big asset in teaching Chinese people because none of us know Chinese and he is very knowledgeable already. We met with him and he told us how he is teaching his roommates all about he church and will have them there next week. The explosion is about to take off in Gaerwen!!
For the month of October we as a mission are focusing our studies on the Atonement and what is made possible threw it. Oh my days it is amazing to see the spiritual growth you can receive in just a week. We have been reading conference talks and scriptures especially on them. My understand and love for the Saviour has grown.
I hope you have a great week! I love you all
Love Elder Hammond
