This week has been wonderful. Where do I begin?
We have 4 people with a baptismal date which is amazing. We have Leteef, Fabio, Dan Brown, and now Lois! You've already heard about all of them, so I'll just leave this part how it is.
We took Lois and Dan Brown to general conference. They both loved it, but I think Lois enjoyed it more. She has been attending the Church of England by herself for a while now which shows her desire to learn the truth of the gospel. She really liked Bradley D. Foster's talk on parenting. I hope she gets baptized. Dan Brown has committed to give up smoking and drinking, which is awesome. He's starting today so I'll need you to all pray for him.
We were going to a member's house for conference and we were going to take Fabio with us. Fabio cancelled on us for general conference, so we had to go empty handed. On the way to, we missed our bus stop and had to go back. On the way back, we met a member who was headed to the Hyde park chapel for conference. It was going to start in fifteen minutes and Hyde park was about an hour and a half away, so we invited him to come with us. He accepted and we had a wonderful time at the member's home watching conference. That was a miracle. There was this super drunk lady on the bus back.
For the Saturday afternoon session, we went to a member's home and ate Ghanaian food. We had jollof rice, banku, chicken legs, and a lot of other stuff and I put shito on everything. Jollof rice is this really good, king of spicy rice. Banku is this huge dough ball that you eat with your hands and dip in this spicy sauce stuff. Shito is basically Ghanaian chili paste. It was really good. I really enjoyed elder Holland's talk. By the way, I feel the need to say thanks to mom for everything she's done for me. Thanks mom!
I guess I'll end with a spiritual thought. I've been reading in alma for the past couple of days and I love the great example of the anti-Nephi-Lehis.
19 And thus we see that, when these Lamanites were brought to believe and to know the truth, they were firm, and would suffer even unto death rather than commit sin; and thus we see that they buried their weapons of peace, or they buried the weapons of war, for peace. (Alma 24)
We probably won't be brought to this ultimatum, but would you all suffer death rather than to sin? I'm sure that I would, but I know that this is the level of conversion that we all need to have in order to make it back into the presence of God. I know that we can make it to this point.
I love you all!
Love,
Elder Warburton
