The work week was really good. We taught Melony with a member and it went really well and she is progressing at a steady rate and it is sinking in. She has a lot of great questions that don't always pertain directly to the lesson, but we teach to her needs and she has loved it. It's good that she understands that the way to receive her answer is through personal revelation. She wasn't able to come to church because a family member got seriously ill and she had to go to the hospital, but we are seeing her this week! Vicky has fizzled off and is now "too busy" but that's life and some people need more time before the message really sinks in. England isn't the easiest place in the world to do missionary work, but I sure do love it.
One of the highlights of my week was going on exchange with a missionary who is still in his first transfer and was struggling with homesickness when he was fresh. He is from Utah and just barley turned 18. He's a super smart and talented kid though and it's was really cool to be able to talk to him and boost his spirit and teach some things about missionary work and life. Getting to know people and building great relationships has been one of the best parts of my mission. I have made so many life long friends.
It is really weird to think I've been out for one year now. I can't believe it's already halfway over. It seems that every day has gone by faster than the last one. The month of July felt like a week. I'm so glad I'm keeping a daily journal because I wouldn't be able to remember anything that happened on my mission because it all goes by so fast! I love serving the Lord full-time and know this time is turning me into the man I need to be and I have grown so closely to the Lord in this past year. I love it!
