AHH i'm so sorry I don't have a lot
of time! But this has been such a great
week!!!!!
SURPRISE- E. got baptized!!!! It was
such an amazing experience!!!! Wow! She and J. were both so happy!
E. got up and spoke after she was baptized- she had set a goal to finish 2
Nephi by the time she was baptized and she did it!!! She was really
touched by 2 Nephi 31 when it talks about baptism! So she read from that
and it was an amazing experience! I have never met anyone as prepared as E.!
Seriously, the Lord prepared her and then placed her in our hands! I feel so blessed to have found her!! She is
already involved in the ward- the ward loves her! So many people came to
her baptism!!!! The Spirit was really strong at the baptism! It was
great :)
My birthday was great!!!!!!
Sis Lybbert and Nigido decorated my study room with so many balloons and sticky
noted my wall with all of our good times :) then Sis Lybbert made french
toast :) we had district meeting so that was fun to be with the zone for my
bday :) then I went to Gateshead with Sis Neilson on exchange- seriously the
best! We laughed all day long! And we had so many miracles- we found a new
investigator- through knocking she let us in and we taught her- extended the
baptismal invite and BAM new investigator! Which is Gateshead is A HUGE DEAL!
seriously!!! It was a huge miracle! It was just so fun to be with her
<3
We had a FHE with E. on Tuesday- and
when we walked in she had made cupcakes for my birthday and they sang and she
and J. got me a present! It was so nice
of her! It made me feel so special that she loved me enough that she
would think of that :) I loved being there with her sis peck and J.!!!!
:) I was one of the happiest moments of my mission!!!
Oh and Sister Lybbert got a union
jack flag and had all the sisters of the north sign it secretly and then they
surprised me with it :) It was so sweet!!!!!!
Oh man so many happy moments this
week!
At church on Sunday I saw S. open
the door for some of the old ladies- and it was such a small thing that really
meant the world to me! To see how much S. has changed! It is
incredible! He went from hard core smoker- didn't smile- to helping people in
the ward wearing his white shirt and tie! :)
I am just so grateful that I get to
stay here in South Shields for the next 5 weeks! I LOVE it here! I love sis
Peck and I love Sis Lybbert and Nigido! E. and S. and the whole world! I am
just the luckiest person ever!!!
Oh and I've been driving a lot more!
:) but I can only keep driving on my american license until my year in
the UK mark- so I'm going to have to pass my test soon- because I guess my year
mark is coming up. . . I don't think about that. . . . .
Well I love you lots! YAY for
Spencer and Emily!!!
Tell Whitney and Syd and Scott happy
birthday!
love you!
<3 Sis Monroe
