This week has been incredible! I have learned so much. I found out I'm staying in London! I got a new companion who is quite young (in the mission, in real life he is older than me) which is exciting! The great thing is he is a boss! It feels more like he is training me than the other way around. Something quite sad to repot to all those following along at home is that Xizi dropped us. It was really sudden and unexpected which makes it quite sad. She just felt like she didn't want to make any big life decisions while studying abroad. Although it is sad, we just have to learn from the experience and work hard to find someone who is prepared to receive the restored gospel. Another thing that was sad, is one of my flat-mates Elder Reynolds was waiting for his visa to go to South Africa and his visa came, so he left today. It was so much fun serving around him for a transfer!
Now for some good news! One of our friends Jun came to church today. He was able to see a baptism after church and he was asking so many questions about what it meant. After we taught him the basics of faith, repentance, and baptism, we invited him to be baptized and he said yes. It was a tender mercy for sure. I love the opportunity to teach people about the Gospel. To testify of what I've felt in my life and know to be true. The. To invite others to act and come closer to our Savior. Just amazing. I really know that this is the Lords work. I am so grateful to be learning how to be an effective instrument in His hands. I am grateful for the chance we had to hear from prophets and apostles last week and I encourage all of you to study what the Lords servants have said for US! I know that if you do, you will find something that applies to you and will benefit your relationship with our Father in Heaven. Well! That's all I can think of right now!
Have a brilliant week!
Elder Draper
