22 April 2013

I am loving this area (Wales).  plus the sun has been making more of an appearance.  i have successfuly driven to and from several appointments without the GPS and i have memorized the names of more than half of the ward.  it was an interesting week. 
 
Monday night.... we were trying by potential and doing a lot of great finding.  some nice success. so we're on our way home... and we hear it.  music. coming from a traveling van.  Sister Gr. stops suddenly and grabs my arm. "can we?"  ok. so we turn around and run.  we found it.  a nice, loud italian man greets us.  she says it was the best ice cream she's had in a long while.  i thought it tasted like frozen whipped cream.  lol.
 
Zone meeting made for a lot of driving.  and we ended up spending some time taking the elders to an appointment that was far away.  so we were in a beautiful town called Brecon for an hour..... doing 'language study'.... well we actually just explored a large (old) church and graveyard.... and pictures. the best language study...lol. but we talked to eachother. so that counts as language study right? :D 
 
and R. is one a date! we are super excited for him :)  it's next month. on his birthday actually.  he is soo prepared.  he is 49.  He understands everything we teach him and really wants to follow the example of Jesus christ. 
 
We are not training.  Sister W. is somewhere else in the EBM... cuz we had a sister go home.  then another is leaving today or tomorrow so Sister Gil. is soon joining us (she has been out 12 weeks... she was in this area before we white washed in even.  should be fun.... though i will always miss my one on one time with sis. Gr.  I LOVE HER ALOT!  God has blessed me a ton with her :)
 
I am recovering... i think... from some weird bug.  it didn't keep me in the flat. but i felt yucky.  heavy and off.  and queasy.  it's not too bad right now... though my stomach is a bit sour.  God makes me strong enough to work, right?  I know i know. i won't push it.  Sister Gr. wouldn't let me.  we did come home early a couple times this week. and early to bed.... and some nonesistant mornings (falling asleep while stretching on the floor)    Love every minute though :)
 
Hope each of you is having a fabulous week!  Feel better mum!  
 
Love you!
