emails like this??)
Deans baptism was a success!!!!! I have sent another email of the
baptism and the pictures. :) it was such a special evening. He wanted
everything to be perfect. He even went to the extent of asking me to
bring him some tweezers because he had literally one eye brow hair
that he didnt want to show up in the pictures hahahah bless him.
Baptisms are the most sacred experiences of the mission. I can not
explain the joy. I would have given anything to have my family there.
i cant wait for amelia to experience this so very soon!! I was the
chorister in the service. Seeing the tears and big smiles during the
hymns sung were moments of my life I will never forget.
The members have been so good to dean. He left church yesterday with
several ties, a white shirt, and lots of notes!!! He is so well taken
care of and fits right in.
Another exciting miracle that happened this week!!!! There is a part
Member family in our ward where the wife is a member and she brings
her 2 little boys to church but the husband is not. He came to church
on Father's Day and we asked if we could come around and give him the
missionary discussions (idk why no one has before) but anyways! After
about an hour of good discussion he agreed to be baptised!!!!! The
only thing holding him back is himself. He is a very nervous man but
we explained that we, and Heavenly Father, will be there every step of
the way to help him make it to his date. :) The fact that his family
can be together forever and sealed in the temple was his selling
point, I can't wait for this sweet family to do just that!!!:)
We live in the dodgiest area of all of long eaton. Don't know who's
idea it was to house sisters there. Its actually semi scary at night
and its been way hot the last few weeks and they dont have AC in
England cause the heat doesn't last very long but at night we just
wake up in pools of sweat (gross). The other night we were willing to
risk our lives and sleep with the windows open haha. I went to the
bathroom to brush my teeth and the window was open in there too and
from our room window sister de cap stuck her arm into our bathroom
window cause theyre right next to eachother and i screamed because it
scared me and then from below some drunk guy yelled out "oooooooooo
its the boogie man!!!!!" Lol.
We went on Splits for the first time on my mission!!!! I went with a
girl called Adia from Provo. :) she is 17 and preparing to go on a
mission!!! It was such a great experience knocking with her!! We
prayed we would see a miracle, and the first door we knocked we got a
new investigator!!! :)
I have recently become the mission seamstress. I am getting many
requests from elders to sew jackets and trousers and i have to admit i
do a pretty good job (Thanks mom) i also cut 5 inches off my comps
hair and cooked a gourmet grilled chicken and tomato sandwich this
week. You could say im getting closer and closer to wife material ;)
wow, missions rock!
This week the elders taught a man who asked if donald trump was the
prophet of our church. He was not kidding. The people you meet. You
also meet great people though. While knocking sister De cap tripped
and scraped her knee and a woman saw from her woman and ran outside to
clean her cut and give her a plaster. She was an angel really :)
I will be honest, serving a mission has been the hardest thing I've
ever done in my life. There is no possible way that I could do this on
my own. Without the Saviour this work would be impossible. I have an
unwavering testimony that he lives, and that he is the "only name
whereby men can be saved." I couldnt help but sob through the last
verse of the closing song at Deans baptism. "Grateful, we praise thee
with songs of delight! Gladly, gladly we’ll walk in the light."
May we ever follow him, and learn from him, with a smile on our face,
and with love in our hearts. :)
Cheers,
Sister McEwan xxx
