ONE YEAR MARK IN THE MISSION!!!! ~ The Cow Heart

((Although ZP doesn't mention it, it is his ONE YEAR mark in his mission!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖))

Well Dear Family,
We are preparing for MLC (mission leadership council) and it is pretty intense. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with being a leader ((Zhaun-Paul is the zone leader in London)) and having so much depend on me, but then I remember that I don't have to do it alone...which is the best!  This really is His work, and He will help us every step of the way.

Okay! Story time!
This week, I got a random huge package in the mail, and everyone was asking me if it was my birthday, and I had no idea what it could be.  ((MOM send him some packages for his one year mark in the mission!)) We all gathered (Sister Reese and the assistants) around in the mission office and we opened it up.  When we saw the ham, Elder Jackson said that it looked like a cow heart... and it did!  So we had a great time convincing everyone in the Visitors Centre that I got a cow heart in the Mail!  It was AWESOME!  Plus it was delicious!  Win, win, and win.
((It was a HAM!!!))

The other story is about miracles:
We had to do TONS of stuff early in the week to get transfers sorted out and prepare for a big meeting on Wednesday.  So we were pretty behind in our goals.  We had only found 5 New Investigators, and we needed to find some solid people!  It was Sunday afternoon, and we got a call out of the blue from a Philippino member in our ward asking us if we could come over for dinner.  We wanted to spend the rest of the day finding, (contacting) so we prayed and asked God to help us make the most out of the little time so did have.

Then, MIRACLES!  On the way to the DA (dinner appointment), we found someone really cool on the tube called Jacob.  He's from California and is super receptive to the gospel!  Then when we got to the appointment, the members gave us 2 amazing referrals!  People who had almost been baptized in the past!  It was such a tender mercy!  Then, to top it all off, we were able to 6 more new friends as we opened our mouths on the way home from the dinner.  We were so blessed!  

I love being a missionary, and I love you all so much!  Have a great week!
Thank you so much for all that you guys do!








Here are some pictures of his flat in London.
He shares it with 3 other missionaries.
