Another Good Week (Week 95)

Well, it was another good week. One of the highlights was that we got to make some reinforcements to this old wooden fence. Some members in our ward have some some fields that they needed help fixing. It's always the best being outside doing things like that.

Back in December we had gotten a media referral. They had requested a copy of the Bible. We went and gave it to them. For the past four months we have been trying to share a message with them but they have been really busy. Earlier this week on Wednesday, we got a text from them. The guy's name is Paul and his wife is Kim. Paul said they would be at the church in the afternoon. We got to the church and waited for awhile. We sent a few text and even tried calling but we got no answer. So we left and decided to go tracting. While we were walking to this neighbourhood, Paul sent us a message that he was at the church. Then he sent a picture of the Church Parking Lot and the Church. We rushed back over to the church and greeted them. They are from Thailand and have only been in England for about 7 months or so. We gave them a church tour and very simply taught them about Jesus and His Atonement, Joseph Smith and the Restoration, and about Baptism. It was awesome!! Hopefully things go well with them.

I'm trying to think of a funny experience to write but I got nothing...............

Anyway, I Love you all!!

Remember Him (Week 93)

Hello! Sorry it's been a few weeks since I last wrote an email.... haha I hope everyone is doing well. And if not. Then dang it. 

Well in simple terms, General Conference was pretty sweet. There will be a new Temple in the UK. It has been over 20 years since a temple was announced to be built here. Amazing!

Bath

I am still in Bristol. And am still with Elder Kintner. This is our 5th transfer together in total. He is a legend and we are literally just brothers. This is his last transfer ,  but we are doing our best to enjoy it so far.

"Hayden Cottage"

It would seem like I would have a lot to write about because I haven't written in the past 3 weeks, but sometimes when I start thinking about what to write about I can never think of anything. Haha so we'll see how this one goes.

Elders with President Gallagher

I heard a testimony from an awesome missionary in our mission recently. She made a good point about how she hopes that in some way or another, someone will remember her because of how she was able to help them. A lot of times we hope that people remember us. Then she said that Jesus just wants us to remember Him. She then talked about how it wasn't important to her that we remembered her, only that we remember Him. Jesus asks us to do something very simple, but very demanding: Remember Him.

P.S. It snowed one day when we were in Cardiff. Kinda sweet.

Love, Elder Shockley
