Hello Family!
It has been another busy week, but unfortunately less teaching. My head is still high and everything is still okay :) I have gotten used to the idea that England is a harder place to serve than others but as we continue to work hard the Lord will bless us with those who are ready to recieve the gospel. This area has so much potential it makes me go crazy over the fact we haven't found anyone really solid yet. We will definitely be finding those who are though.
My knee doing a bit better. I wear a neoprene support everyday and it is becoming more flexible. It is still a bit swollen but is has gone down over time. I still experience pain on both sides of the knee cap but not near as bad as it was at the beginning. It is more of a sore kind of pain. It "pops" around the knee a few times a day when I am walking. It is getting stronger and I have ran a short distance about twice to talk to people which I havent been able to do. It definitely is still weak and not fully healthy. Elder Ashcraft gave me a blessing the night it happened.
Another reason socialized health care is ridiculous is that I was suppossed to have physio twice before my appointment today. They said they would contact me either by phone or by mail but neither happened during this two week period. Hopefully the doctor can have a better idea what the diagnosis truly is today. President is not aware of my knee but he will be informed this Wednesday since I will see him at Specialized Trainings in Chester.
Wedenesday evening, we will also be having an exchange with the Assistants. We have three (which is not common but President felt inspired to) this transfer. Elder Ashcraft will be working in a threesome and I will be with Elder Cowley. It is odd that we are exchanging because Assistants usually only exchange with new missionaries and zone leaders, but I am excited anyway because they are such incredible missionaries. I hope that all goes well with that.
As a mission, we have been doing a study on the Doctrine and Covenants and marking every scripture that 1) refers to missionary work in any way and 2) focuses on teaching, especially teaching by the Spirit. It has been an absolute eye opener to see how much it talks about missionary work! It truly is the missionaries guidebook.
We should be going on splits with ward members to Ellesmere Port to work with less-actives so I will do my best to get in contact with those people Tuesday night Bro. Maughn. Ellesmere Port is awkward because or buss/train passes don't go that far and it is at the bottom of our area so we would have to pay extra to get down there. I will do my best to find a good time to go there in the coming weeks.
I will continue to pray for Colton and his teams success. That would be awesome to play in the state tournament! If I wasn't doing the Lord's work I would make sure the coach has some strategy to his game. Brut ball is the worst kind of ball to play because it is so easy to beat.
I apologize again for not bringing the pictures I will bring them next week! Thank you all so much for the wonderful package and homemade cards! It made my week to read them! May the Lord continue to bless us all with success!
Love,
Cameron
