This week has been amazing! One of the most wonderful things to see this week is just how much Elder Angeiras has grown in this transfer. He truly has become a Christlike missionary. His desire to be obedient is what I am most happy about. He has come to love life as led by the Holy Spirit and he understands that that comes by obedience. This week I really saw the progress that he has made with Planning. He conducted weekly Planning and most of he daily Planning and seriously is amazing at it. He truly has a desire to serve. Part of our transfer Vision was to have him ready to lead the area by the end of the transfer, and honestly he is. It is such a joy serving with him. It was also an incredible experience being able to have Senessie's baptism this week. To have Elder Angeiras really come to know and experience the fact that if we work hard, and if we are faithful and obedient people are there. They are prepared. What an experience to have in your first transfer. His future is so incredibly bright!
We found someone called Michael this last week, and he is one of the most amazing people I've had the opportunity to teach on my mission. He is so sincere and excited about learning the gospel! Exciting things happening in Romford!
I have been studying the doctrine of baptism a lot this week. Such a simple principle, but when explored, you can really learn so much. I learned that "baptism" comes from the Greek verb "baptiso" and means to "immerse." Of course we are immersed in water when we are baptised, but more than that we immerse our lives in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What an amazing purpose we have to help others do the same. I know that this is His work! He leads it and guides it, and I am grateful to be a part of it.
Love you Mom!
Elder Draper
