Transfers!!

Heyo everyone, hope you're doing well! This past week was pretty good and flew by again. We taught, studied, and received transfers! 

So, our friend Liz is doing great. We have helped her get into good study habits and she's reading the Book of Mormon stories to better understand the actually Book of Mormon. She believes the doctrines of the church and each and every time we teach her, she loves and agrees with it. She just needs that spiritual witness to really help her be committed. 

We've worked with a lot of less actives and couple of ex-members. Their doing good and the ex-members are ready to get baptized, they've just got to get through Salt Lake and some paperwork. Elder Burt and I started up a Preach My Gospel class with the ward. We created a slideshow and had a zoom meeting teaching them the first lesson in preach my Gospel "The Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ" it went pretty well they seemed to love it. 

Well onto the big news! We received transfers and unfortunately, I will be leaving South Shields. I'm headed back to West Yorkshire and will be serving in Leeds with Elder Hancock who was in my MTC group. I'm excited to serve down in Leeds it should be a great time! I will be serving as a Zone Leader leading a whole zone so we will see how it goes. I'm sure there are lots of lessons to be learned which is the best or most rewarding part of a mission. Looking forward to this next transfer. 

Spiritual thought:  

"Converted unto the Lord" ~Elder Bednar 

"A testimony is spiritual knowledge of truth obtained by the power of the Holy Ghost. Continuing conversion is constant devotion to the revealed truth we have received—with a heart that is willing and for righteous reasons. Knowing that the gospel is true is the essence of a testimony. Consistently being true to the gospel is the essence of conversion. We should know the gospel is true and be true to the gospel"

Love that last bit "be true to the gospel". If we know the gospel is true live it, and if you don't know it's true LIVE IT!  We won't receive a witness of the truth til after the trial of our faith. 

Thank you all for the prayers, support, strength you have given me. Have a wonderful week!
