This past week we picked up a baptismal date! YEAH!!!! Her
name is Tegen and she is 19 years old. We set her date for November 10 so that
we she can be properly taught. She is 19 years old. One of her best friends was
a member here about four years ago when she was in YW they have since moved. Anyway
so we have taught her the restoration, the plan of salvation and gospel of Jesus
Christ, she has come to church, and in church they went over the WOW and she
accepted to live it and said "I don’t smoke or drink, Coffee is sick and
tea I can give that up." So we are stoked for that! She also has read from
the beginning of the Book of Mormon to 2 Nephi 5. So we are really excited
about that! It doesn’t matter if I am here when she gets baptized, the exciting
thing is that she is getting baptized :)
This week we visited Plymouth for a few days. That was very
nice. I got to see a few faces before I go. It was crazy going down there,
there were so many of the people I taught that have now moved back to their
countries and are gone. I did get to see Russel and he is doing well despite his
struggles he has had a loss of his job
and one of his best mates. Rebekah is doing well also. Chao Li is in china and Lin is
up in Wales at good college. I stopped by Barbara and Martin and we had a good chat.
I just feel so privileged to have helped these people gain a testimony in the
gospel. I am going to see Della for the last time tomorrow and also say goodbye
to big Wayne.
Nellie and Jo I will see on Saturday. They are really worried
about helping N-- afford College. It is so expensive and hard to get that much
money for her to attend college.
I’m so glad my mission president is a Dr. that has really
been helpful for me while I have this hepatitis. He wants to know my test results when I get
them. He is keeping an eye on me. The English Doctor here thinks I am doing
better. I really like him. They have
been checking my blood 2 times a week. I’ll bring those tests and the ultra
sound and CT scan home with me for the Doctors at home. I am feeling better and my symptoms seem to
be lessening. Hopefully I will be good
as new by the time I get home:) I feel so blessed have been able to feel good
enough to be able to work and serve to the end.
Love you all!
Elder M. White
