Elder in England: Week 100: London Temple!

May 30, 2016

We went to the London Temple on Saturday!! It was so amazing!!!

This has been a great, crazy week! It feels like it just began and now it's over! We're starting to go a little crazy because both Tina and Scott are on date for June 11th, but we didn't teach either of them even ONCE this past week! Aaahh! We keep scheduling appointments with them, but they keep falling through. We're going to see if they can still be taught everything before their baptisms, so hopefully everything goes well this week!

I had my last District Meeting this week, and it went really well! We went on a blitz as a district afterwards, which went really well! We found some referrals for missionaries in other areas, so that was good.

My favorite miracle from this week was on Friday. We had planned to teach Tina, but she had to cancel the appointment, so we followed our backup to contact an inactive member named Linda. We came to her door and knocked on it, but she wasn't home, so we decided to tract around her home. Just a few doors down from Linda, we met a fun young father named Sean who started to tell us it wasn't for him. We started a good conversation with him and found out that he had some questions of the soul. We told him that God has revealed answers to these great questions in the Book of Mormon, and he was like, "Really? So then what is the Book of Mormon? Who wrote it?" We continued teaching him about the Book of Mormon and set a return appointment for tomorrow, so we're super excited for that! The Lord really does place people in our path, we just have to find them!

Another miracle happened on Friday as well! We had just finished our weekly planning and walked out of the flat. As soon as we got out of the flat, we bumped into somebody, and he started talking with us! He told us that he was a member of the Church and that he was good friends with some of the members still. He hasn't been active for a long time, but he said that he wanted us to come over and start teaching him again! MIRACLE!!

The Lord really is looking out for us and showering out blessings upon us! I know Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to be happy. I know the Book of Mormon is true, and I know that this Church is true.

Love you all and hope you have another amazing week!

Love,

Elder McOmber

Funnies of the Week:

We participated in a ward activity this morning: a 5k run! The only thing is that the tape stopped working when they were setting out the trail markers, so almost everybody got lost along the way, including us. Haha we were wandering around a field for about 20 minutes until we met somebody who pointed us in the right direction. We still had fun though :)
