Hey everyone!
I didn't write last week, but it's been a pretty eventful few weeks! I got a new companion, Elder Holt. He is from Manchester. We've had a great time together so far. Things are going really well in the Poole Ward. We are teaching two lads who both have expressed interest in getting baptized. Both of them came to church on Sunday as well which was great. I'm excited to see how they progress.
When I was serving in Cardiff, Elder Tang and I were teaching the Li family who are originally from China. The parents were less active in the faith, so their children had not been baptized. Elder Tang was able to help the Mother and Father a lot with some of their language barriers since he knows Chinese. The Father did not have the priesthood yet, so for months we had tried to help him get more active in the gospel so that he could baptize his children. At times it didn't seem like it was going to happen, because he wasn't showing much commitment. But just over a week ago they were able to have the baptisms which was amazing! I was able to watch it over Zoom which was a blessing! I was super happy for all of them!
I read a great quote this week from Elder D. Todd Christofferson about covenants. It says, "The covenants God offers to His children do more than guide us. They bind us to Him, and, bound to Him, we can overcome all things." I'm grateful for the promises that we can make with God and the strength that they can give us in our lives. And it's always amazing to see other's enter into those covenants as well! Have an amazing week everyone!
Love you all!

- We visited Gold Hill. There's a seen in the Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration movie where it shows missionaries in England walking up this hill, so we had to replicate some of the pictures haha!
