So yesterday in church, the bishop notified us there was something for us in the office. We went in and there was a large arrangement of flowers for us from MW (Manchester Ward). There were also a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers made out of cupcakes and frosting. So cute! This ward is so nice and treats us very well.
Well, I first want to talk about Bill. He is doing so great! We taught him this past week and wants to know if this is true and will do anything to know. So he is going to read and pray about it and I know he will get an answer. He has such faith and diligence that I know he will get an answer. He came to church yesterday and just loved it again. We are meeting with him on Wednesday so hopefully everything will go well. The thing I found out this week that is so cool is that the elders who were here before us have been trying to get a hold of Bill for almost 6 months and haven't been able to meet with him. The last elders taught him a year ago and he never called them back. Now I am not pointing out the fact that they were elders and that is why they couldn't teach him, but that he just wasn't ready to hear the gospel for the past year. He has needed this time to prepare to hear and accept the gospel. Last year at this time, he had no faith and didn't have any idea about religion. For the past year, he has slowly started to pray and come closer to the Lord through prayer and study. He has finally decided he wants to know what church is true. It has been interesting to see the Lord's timing on everything. Because we happened to be getting our haircut and he happened to be getting his done at the same time and we said one statement that made sense to him, he is now accepting the gospel because he is ready. I am so grateful for the knowledge of the Lord's time, not my time.
Well I love you all and hope you have a great week and a WONDERFUL VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!
Love,
Elizabeth
TAWANDA!
