I am missing Mexican food

They really don't have good Mexican food here. They think that they do but they just don't know. I bought a thing of salsa when I made myself a breakfast burritos and it wasn't very good. I didn't do that good with the burritos either but whatever it was still better than their "Mexican food". There aren't even taco bells here. I think there is one in London but that doesn't do me a lot of good in the midlands.

We have a lot of investigators and great less actives that we are working with. The other night we taught a lesson to one of our new investigators. We taught the plan of salvation. She said that it all made sense to her. She smiles every time baptism is mention but we have never been in a situation that it seems appropriate to invite her. I know the Spirit will direct us and let us know when the time is right to ask her. I know that she will be baptized. I hope that if I leave next transfer (the 30th) that I will be able to come back for her baptism. Hopefully President will let me.
Another one of our investigators is slowly changing and feeling the Spirit more and more. He has been more willing to make commitments and has a great desire to be at church and he even wants to stay for all three hours. I love seeing the change in him! He is really shy so we will have to be bold with him to get him to start coming. I don't think he'll make the steps on his own but that is what we are here for.

We met another Less Active member the other day. It was cool. We were walking in town when we met her. She said that she had wanted to meet with us for a while because she has a lot of questions. We answered some while we were there and met up later to answer more. It’s really cool that she wants to come back and I am grateful that we can be there to give her support and answer questions.


It’s amazing how Heavenly Father teaches us in simple ways. If you ask then you will receive. One day we were talking about how we hadn't given a blessing in a while. The next day we stopped by a member’s house and she asked us to give a blessing to her son. Then that night I got really sick in the middle of the night so I woke up Elder Bray for a blessing. Then, we went to teach another investigator and his mom asked us for a blessing. Then we were at church, I was talking to the High Counselor for our ward (a fellow American) and he asked us for a blessing for his infected eye. Someone else asked us for a blessing as well but we are going to figure out who her home teacher are before we do it for her. We also blessed our house again. It’s crazy how many times that we have used our Priesthood since we were commenting on it.

One day when we were planning we were trying to think of people that we could go by to get referrals from. Someone popped into Elder Brays mind but then we kind of forgot about it. But we were out talking to people the other day and she popped into my mind and we were in the area so we went by. Before we could even start to ask her about it she started to tell us about someone that we could go by and see. It was really cool. We went by and the lady was not interested at all but the whole experience was cool.
I feel blessed to me a missionary and LOVE the people in England!
