First of all, it seems that I got to do a lot of traveling around England this week. I guess the perks of being fairly good lads with the Zone Leaders leads to getting to run errands with them. Last Monday, we went to Milton Keynes, which is a really cool fairly new city. It is set up similar to Utah, where it's on a grid system. They have this gigantic shopping centre that is half outdoors and half indoors, and it's just mind blowingly awesome. Plus there was a
Krispy Kreme inside.
The next place we traveled to was Cambridge. There was some big fiasco about moving a car to Cambridge, so the Cambridge Elders can have a new car and send their old one back to Germany (where the church HQ is in Europe) Anyways, since my companion has a drivers license and they needed to get two cars down there, I got to go along for the ride. Cambridge is a really cool place. There are tons of universities everywhere, and the whole city is designed for bike travel... thats when you know its an old city.
The last place we were able to travel was a place called the Salcey Forest. We actually just got back. It was this wicked cool tree-top walk where you DEFINITELY feel like you are an Ewok on Endor. Then it was just a trail through a super dense forest, but we came to the conclusion that Robbin Hood lived in that forest... we're not that far from Nottingham after all.
Another great thing that happened this week was Zone Meeting. There was an amazing training about focus and urgency. We as members of the true church of Jesus Christ should "lengthen our stride" as Spencer W. Kimball said. We need to focus on what matters most and then pursue it with all our might, mind, and strength. We should be urgent in this great work!
We met with Daniel, who is from Columbia, and he is such a good guy! He has such real intent! In England you sort of have people from all over the place. I can even say Hello, How are you, good, and goodbye in Polish, Romanian, Ghanian, and Arabic!
Well, thats about it for this week.
Love you all, and I hope you have an incredible week!! Pick something that means a lot to you and focus on it this week. Pursue it with urgency and you will see great results!
