Pictures: All the "lads on the bus going to zone conference"; their zone with President and Sister Turvey; his "heritage tie" with names of his "dad", "grand-pa", "great-grand-pa" etc; their Thanksgiving dinner :)
We put in tons of work this week with Alex and with the family of
Martina. They are both great. Alex has been able to move forward in his
testimony of the gospel. He has told us he is trying to stop smoking
gradually now. Also, he has told us his testimony and he knows this is
true. We are really trying to help him kick his habit of smoking.
Martina and her family want to be baptized. Her daughters are excited
for it. We are trying to help her stop smoking and drinking. She
already says she doesn't want to drink ever again, but smoking will be a
process.
This week was thanksgiving and I realized this year just how much I really am grateful for my family. They are so special and each one of them has made such an impact on my life. I have really noticed how great my parents are. They have helped me to make good choices and
have cared for me so much and it has blessed me more than I can say. I love them and I am grateful that they have loved me so much throughout the years.
I am also grateful for the people here in England that have made me so welcome. The Nettleships and the Crowleys and the Whitehouses and my missionary mates. I am grateful that they have helped me to work through hard times and stay happy on my mission. I am really grateful for my companion, Elder Buckhoff and for Elder Peck, my previous companion who has been a crazy good friend to me already and for my leaders who have lovingly corrected me when I need it.
I am grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ and that I can have a second chance when I mess up. I am grateful that I have been able to feel clean and relieved and I do not have to live in my mistakes. I am grateful that God was willing to send His Son to the earth despite the suffering and the hardships in store. It means so much to me.
I am grateful for amazing leaders in my past that have prepared me to serve.
This week we went to a hockey game with Alex since we got free tickets. It was fun. He loves hockey and tried explaining to me in Slovak the rules of the game. It was difficult to understand it all. We had tons of fun and introduced him to Reese's. He already is hooked.
Love you all
