Hey Hey famillay :)

Good week it sounds like haha Jordan is the man first off just look at him haha i love him!! Just a beautiful smile haha he picked a winner good work son :) And don't you worry mom i'm not trunky haha how did you learn that word?? Got a lot of time left to do the Lords work and i haven't reached all the goals yet so i can't wait a second or its all over!!

 

 

ahhhh good week this week, first off i love coventry haha i just love it!!! we took 2nd at mission football though and i almost broke my ankle but it was a good day haha!! I got to see Shirzell but didn't catch any other of my converts in, but i'm glad i got to see Shirzell she was struggling a little bit with her family so we sat down had a prayer talked a shared some scriptures with her that got me through the hard times and then she promised me she would go back to church and yesterday i got a phone call and it was her saying how glad she was that i came and how happy she was that she went back to church her problems started to get easier and she was just so happy!! The Lord new who I needed to see so it was such a blessing!! Also this week haha I got to go on exchange with my boy Elder Hooper ahh he is the man I can't believe i hated my Nephi brother haha but he is sweet hard worker and just has a desire to share his testimony with all and just to love the people I learnt alot from him! It was his birthday so we woke up and i cooked him a good ol american breakfast pancakes peanut butter and syrup haha it had been ages since i have had that so it was the best i loved it!! We are teaching alot of people man the Lord ahhhh he is blessing us just miracles are happening!! One of our investigators was struggling he had is credit card stolen and someone took alot of money and they weren't going to refund him the money and so he was angry and told us he didn't want to come to church or learn, he had lost interest so we talk to him and just resolve concern, he then comes to church and as soon as he comes home he gets a call saying they were going to refund the money haha I love the gospel!! He is the man though his name is Pavan, i don't know if i told you that but he is getting baptized on the 7th of may so i'm stoked about that one!!

 

Things are amazing though the sunshine is just out and about and its getting hot!! i'm just loving it the people are more happy in the summer so we are seeing alot more reception from the people!! Its weird how that works but i love it!! So much i want to say this week but so little time i'm sorry!!

 

Mom i would love to stay with T-money thats perfect!! He can also help me with my studies haha probably the smartest kid i know so it'll be good for me :) Has Moss moved yet?? Is he looking for a place to live? 

 

Transfers are next week and well pretty sure me and my comp will be splitting up so I could be moving but we will see hopefully i'll stay and he will go but we will see haha!! All else is well!! I'm loving it!! :)

 

Last thing I to mom am right when Jesus Christ appears the the people and man i was thinking the same thing that the world is just like this time it is getting bad and people are getting worse and worse and caught in the "secret combinations" but i also learnt the key is to stay faithful and obedient to the Lord and we will always be able to overcome the evils!! But if we give up just like the nephites and lose the spirit we are just like everyone else, we are nothing!! The key is to keep the spirit read pray church the key!! I love it!!

 

I love you family be good!!

Hey Hey Hey

 

 

Well guess what?? I am in Coventry right now :) sitting on the same computers that i emailed for 9 and 1/2 months haha I LOVE COVENTRY :) Now the reason we are here is because today we have mission football here and well our zone is going to dominate :) we are going to smoke everyone haha!! President gave me permission to come early so i could see some of my recent converts so i can't wait for that i'm excited!!! I have missed them so it'll be good to see them!!

 

Now as for the "Ashed" haha I haven't seen the effects but we saw it at church on sunday, so many people went on holiday and couldn't fly home because of it so the chapel was almost empty it was crazy, me and my comp had to teach priesthood and gospel principles in both wards so it was quite the sunday haha!!  We had a couple of investigators that came for the first time and they expected alot more people to come and were kinda shocked that not many people came but we told them the situation and next week they will see the big change!!

 

It has been a good week!! Our area is sick!!! So many people just prepared to recieve the gospel, I don't think the last missionaries talked to many people on the street because everyone will stop and talk to us so days have just been flying by!! We have a couple people that are preparing for baptism but because of the changes President Ogden made we have to wait a few extra weeks before we can baptize them, so hopefully i am still here to see them get baptized!! We are teaching this guy from India haha He is the man!! we went and played cricket on saturday and I was just taking the ball yack haha but he told me i was cheating and couldn't swing the bat like a baseball bat and that I had to start on the ground so things got harder haha but i still dominated!! But everything is going amazing!! Covering 2 wards is an adventure though, I have a hard enough time trying to learn everyones names in one ward and now i'm all confused and it has been a little awkward but i'll get it haha!! The Zone killed it this week!! We had a sweet Zone Conference and the missionaries just went out applied what they learnt and just doubled the weekly totals so it made us look really go even though we did nothing, Thats what i learnt this week, the Lord he gives our leaders revelation to take us to the next level and if we apply it then booom we will see the results, same applies with President Monson and all the people that spoke to us and general conference if we apply it the booom our Heavanly Father will bless us!! I love it :)

Ah Bowanee :)

 

 

That is how are you doing in nigerian language :) Madre Madre I got your Tesco's thank you so so much i'm not gonna lie i feel kinda bad that so much money is getting spent and I hope that you know that I appreciate both you and dad for you support I know you are making alot of sacrafices and so I appreciate all that you do!!  I Love you so so much!! My companion also says he Loves you :) he is loving the tesco's :) I'm glad dad bought a season pass because i'm going to spend alot of time up there with him just smoking him haha!! He doesn't stand a chance :)

 

ahhh I love my mission flip I just have met so many beautiful people and just got to learn so many hey how are you in different languages its just a blessing!! Anyways, how is everyone?? All is well over here in the beautiful England, The week was amazing and the Lord blessed our areas and the zone!!

 

So this week though, hmmmm well we are teaching this sweet guy from nigeria and he is just the man and well i found out that his name is Craig Alexander haha so without even thinking i was like no way my name is Alexander Craig haha and now at church he reaveled my true identity haha but he is the man!!  we also had our district meetings and i'll tell you what, do you or dad remember the Hooper twins from nephi that came out with me?? the big giant basketball towers?? Well one of the Hooper twins is a district leader here so tuesday night i went on exchange with him and wow it was crazy he is the man just a hard worker and i love it!! During the night we were just up having some good ol pillow talk and we were just talking about Basketball, Football, and Baseball all the way up just recalling all the state games and he was on the other bracket so we were talking about the baseball state games and i was just going crazy, It has been almost 4 years since I had talked about it but man it brought back some good memories!! He is the man though and well my worst enemies on the sporting field are now some of my best mates on the lords battle field and i love it!! Other then that we found some good new people and the work is moving forward, I don't know how this place wasn't seeing success because its just a golden area I love it!! The down side I guess was that on Sunday we sat through 6 hours of church!! Now mom you know me i'm not even good at sitting for 3 hours of church but since we covered 2 wards man we just chill it was crazy!!! The amazing thing about it was that there were 2 different feelings in the wards. In Wednesfield in the morning well you felt the spirit and it was all good but I don't know it was a tense feeling like it didn't feel very organized i guess in a sense, but on the other hand in the Wolverhampton one the spirit was stronger, It felt like it was more organized and better prepared and it seemed like everyone new what they were doing, and it all came down to the Bishop. So I did learn that if i am ever a Bishop if i want it to run smoothly and if I want the spirit to be at a high its key to be prepared well planned and just all sorted!! Family I hope you all know that I love this gospel!! Most importantly I love my Savior Jesus Christ he is the source of my strength and i will forever rely on him!! I love you all!! Hope you all have an amazing week!!

Happy Easter Family!!!

I hope it has been a good one!! Snow Snow Snow gotta love it, i don't know whats up it warmed up a little here but now it is just back to bitter cold, hopefully it is just preparing for a hot summer!! I love my hot summers!! Anyways don't worry about it madre, no worries we were barely in the flat last week so i probably wouldn't of been home for it anyways but this week i will for sure.

Well oh man haha its been quite the week but its been a good one!! We had the chance to meet our new ward mission leaders, and i must say there struggling, So i don't know if i told you in my last email but we are covering 2 wards, so the Wednesfield ward and the Wolverhampton ward and well apparently Wednesfield is the weaker of the 2 noone does anything i guess haha and well we just thought it was a rumor and that there was no way it could be as bad as everyone says it is and well we go to a meeting with our ward mission leader and the first thing he says after he introduces himself was not gonna lie to you Elders this ward sucks!!!! Don't expect much help from the members, they won't come out teaching with you, they won't fellowship your inmvestigators and they definately won't help you recent converts! They don't do there home teaching, they don't do the visiting teaching, they don't do anything!! I was just shocked i just smiled and me and my comp said welt looks like we are going to have to change some things haha so it will be quite the adventure, but we are excited to try and help!! We found out how bad it really was this weekend as well, So we had some investigators that we found on Thursday and Friday that wanted to come to General Conference with us and we found out that the Chapel we go to watch General Conference at was 2 hours away from where we live, so we start phoning around to see if anyone is going to conference but noone was, and if they were they didn't want to take investigators there, no lie i phoned everyone on the ward list and it was getting frustrating but finally I just phoned up the stake president and luckily he is the man because he just swung by and picked up all the investigators we had coming!!! Even though it was out of the way he just said sure Elders what are there addresses i would love to pick them up!!! So he is the man and i don't know how the ward is so bad, but apparently he said that he was releasing the Elders Quorum President and the Bishop so things might change with some new leadership, we will see!!!

As for the other ward Wolver Hampton is pretty good they have alot of good people there so i think we will be spending more time trying to find people in wolverhampton then we do in wednesfield but i guess we will go where ever the Lord wants us to be so we will see!!

So how did everyone like conference?? I loved it!!!!!! Ahhh it was so good this time!!! I was just smiling the whole time i couldn't wipe the smile off of my face!!! I love listening to the Prophets and Apostles speak!! I know they are called of God because so many questions or doubts i had were answered by them simply speaking!! My favorite thing, well one of my favorites was this statement right here, "There is only one source of peace in life and that is the Prince of Peace Jesus Christ" I loved it!!!! Jesus is the Christ and he is the only way that we all can return to live together once again!!!

I love you family!! Your the best have an amazing week!!
