WEEK 99: Another New Companion

Pictures:  a FHE with a family in the ward; saying good-bye to Elder Pearse; a lad called Elliot (he keeps saying "called" instead of "named" so that must be an English way?)


Even though I just got with Elder Pearse a few weeks ago, we had transfers this week and he has left. (Pictured with Elder Pearse) My new companion is also English. This one is from London and he is called Elder Omoruyi. He is about 6’4” and I look tiny next to him!

This week was full of miracles to be completely honest! Fahad came to church again and loved it! He is excited to work towards baptism and he has recognized that God truly exists and that God hears and answers his prayers. He cracks me up and we love spending time with him. 

We found another guy this week called Danny. Danny just wants to make a change in his life and he is ready to receive the gospel! He has loved reading from the Book of Mormon. This week I realized just how large of an impact the Book of Mormon makes in my own life. As I read from it, I come to know Christ more and more, I feel peace, I feel strengthened, I find peace and answers to my questions. I have more of a desire to be kind to those around me. It truly testifies of Christ and invites us to become like He is. It is a book of God.

I love so many of the people in this ward. English people are so kind and funny. I love getting to know them and serving them!

Love you all,
Elder Pace

Tyson said this is his last transfer.  They had a meeting about how to use their mission to spring into their next phase of life.  He said it was fun to see everyone but sad that it is at this point of his mission.  He said the two years has gone by way too fast.
