The Musical Carries On

Good Morning friends and family :)

I am so excited for this upcoming week. We are getting ipads on Wednesday! Yeah the long await day is finally here and we will get to start doing missionary work in a new way. I am excited for them, just don't have a clue what to do with them. It's a good thing my companion is brilliant at computers and can teach me all that I needed to do. So next week I should be sending this off from the ipad.

We have been teaching a lady and her kids on and off since I started serving here in Carlisle. We got to see them on Wednsday and it was just a raining outside! Which was good because her neighbour stayed for the lesson as well. We have met her and she's friendly but never stays and listens. This time she did and she had so many questions. We talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ and what we need to do to get back to Heavenly Father like faith, repentance, baptism and gift of the holy ghost. The spirit was so strong when we taught about baptism! We are going back this week to teach the both of them. and hope that it goes as well as last.

3 weeks ago we met our amazing friend James on the street. Since that time he has finished the Book of Mormon! He finished the last of it on Friday and Saturday. What an amazing man. I can hardly get through it in 3 months. He came to church twice and came to our branch social on  Saturday we watched Meet the Mormons. As well he committed to living all the commandments. I have seen the Lord's hand guide us so that we would meet up and it had to be at this time, because him and my companion are like best friends long lost. He lives in another part of England so we showed him where the church is there. he was like I know where that is, he showed us his house on google maps...he can see the church from his front window!! It's literally a walk in the park to get to church and less than a minute. I am so thankful I was able to meet him and help him find his faith in God. The Miracle of a Mission :)

May God bless everyone I am so thankful for all that the Lord does,

Love Elder Hammond
