Dear Everyone,
This week was a killer of amazement! We had a lesson set up with this man for Saturday we went to find his house and his address was no where close but we ran into the man and talked with him. We sent up another time and decided to go tracting. We went through a gunnel and my companion said he didn't feel like this is where we should be. I said we need to say a prayer. We did and I felt impressed to knock on two houses. The first house we knocked on we ended up going inside and teaching two university girls :) one was very open the other not so much. We watched a Mormon message with them and they both opened up. This is where it really gets good. My companion went upstairs to use the toildet so I stood half way. One girl was saying how she had been searching for the truth and flet this was it. She called up her brother and Friday we are going to teach the two girls, her brother and his girlfriend :))) It was such a tender mercy. I love this work! The Lord really does use us as tools.
On Monday we decided to go on the ferris wheel in Manchester. I am not scared of hights, but I will tell you what I was a bit nervous at the top. We went with my companion and I and elder vaquera and Elison. It was worth the cost, because you can't take it with you. YOu got to spend it on something you enjoy.
We have been to the hospital twice in the past week to give members blessings. I never have liked the feeling at a hospital. It always reminds we of when I got surgery and just isn't the nicest places to be. We were there this morning with a good friend and recent convert to the church. It's good to know that people trust us missionaries and know that the priesthood does really work to heal the sick.
The weather has been on and off all week. It was hailing marbles I swear one day, Elder Hill took simpithy on us and let us sit in his car for about 5 minutes until the storm passed and were weren't getting beaten any more. It has been a year since we went up to the temple with the Hills to take Prisca to the temple. It is amazin in a year how much life can throw at us and how much the Lord can bless us.
I am so excited for my sister Chelsey's new baby Kody :) he is a cutie pie and I am thankful that the Lord watches over us and answeres our prayers. I have felt a great love for the Lord this week. As I reflect upon how he guides and directs us it brings great joy. Roosevelt is doing really well. We invited him to be baptised this week and he said he feels this the way the Lord is directing his life :) He is an amazing man and loved church yesterday. THe ward in Swinton has taken great care of him. In his own words, he hasn't feel like this at a church since he was a boy in Camaroon. He feels at home.
I love you all have a great week,
Love Elder hammond
