London is great!

Hello Everybody!

Downtown London, Ontario

   Well, this week has been a pretty good one. We picked up Lloyd- a really cool investigator (with a baptismal date!) from Jamaica. It's been going really well with him, we're excited for him to come out to church this coming Sunday! Maria is struggling with commiting to baptism and the wheelchair lady you asked about- she's a less-active in the ward. We haven't been meeting with her anymore because of some issues she has but we ran into her on Thursday! haha you'd think she'd take it as a sign,eh? :) Other than that, we have been doing a lot of less-active work and finding. This transfer is going by so quickly! Only 2 weeks until transfers. Geeeez.

   Mom, you asked about the snow storm hitting us- we got the edge of it. Friday it snowed and snowed and snowed, all of our appts cancelled so we were outside all day! It made for some fun times. We trekked through the snow and I was really grateful for boots. I believe we were supposed to get 30cm of snow and we only got 10cm or so? But today it is raining and melting it away. Here's a cool story of the week-

   We were calling potential investigators that the elders had talked to a couple of months ago and we called Alisha. When she answered she told us she was going to Toronto for the weekend but to call back on 'this date'. So that day we called her and she said, "you guys totally freaked me out. I met elders a couple years ago and they gave me a Restoration Pamphlet but i didn't give them my phone number and this number is a new cell phone i just got." So she asked us what her name was again and we said, "alisha?" and she said, "oh, my name is Lisa!" So what had happened was whoever alisha is- Lisa got her old number and we contacted her. A few days before we called her the first time she had come across that Restoration pamphlet and read it. Then we called and she went to Toronto, thought about us the whole weekend and how we could have gotten her number and then she told us we could come teach her! So we made an appt, looked her address up on our map and she lived just outside of our boundaries. Ha. Go figure! So we passed it onto the elders and they haven't been able to meet with her yet. But I thought that was pretty cool! (Dad, that was the faith building experience you asked for.haha)

   We had our ward conference yesterday too! Our Stake Pres, Pres. Saunders, told us to say hi from them to our families- so hi from L2 stk presy!

   Well, this week will be a good one! Thanks for the prayers and everything! It's helped us in our quest to figure out the buses for sure! haha Except last night when we had to wait at the bus stops for like...2 hours. no biggie. London is great!

Love,

Sister Messer
