Dear family and friends,
It
has been another superb week here in Trowbridge! The big news of the
week, which I literally just received two minutes ago, is that Dean has
received all of the approval he needs for his baptism, so everything is
looking perfect for Friday! I am SO excited. It will be a fantastic
service. We also continue to be excited for Matthew, and hope to begin
teaching his family as well this week. The devastating news of this week
is that the highly anticipated Christmas single from the Bristol Zone,
“No Thrills Christmas”, is no longer going to be released. The studio
where we recorded it got robbed so some criminals are the only people
with access to those files. A truly crushing blow.
Our focus in the area has
shifted to ensuring that everyone we teach has or is working towards a
testimony of the Book of Mormon gained through prayer- without that,
they won’t progress.
My
main focus for this transfer has been to consecrate myself to the Lord
more fully and I have seen great results from this. Although it is
definitely not easy (more often than not, I find myself wanting to do
what I want to do) it is the only process through which I can unlock my
full potential and more perfectly follow Heavenly Father’s plan for me.
It
is hard to believe that we’re almost halfway through November. The days
and weeks go by faster and faster! I am SO excited for Christmas to be
able to Skype everyone! Although I will be DEVESTATED if I
don’t get to spend Christmas in Trowbridge, but I will be excited for
it nonetheless because I get to talk to the fam. I also am obsessive
with Christmas music right now and whenever I am in the flat the Band
Aid “Do They Know It’s Christmas” song is ALWAYS on and, I’ll admit, I
am a bit weird about it. So I would love some more Christmas music. Also
people should start sending me pictures again, I miss getting them.
That
is about it! To everyone back home reading this, I LOVE YOU! To my
friends in Trowbridge who have started reading my blog… you’re alright, I
guess… no, just kidding you all are perfect.
Also
we have been instructed to inform our parents that all Christmas
packages are to be sent to the MISSION OFFICE this year. They will
ensure that our packages are delivered to us by Christmas. So everyone
send me packages. Also, I am going to be creating and sending out
Christmas cards to people/families I like, so look forward to that.
That is all for the day, good friends! I am off to Bath to enjoy what should be a fantastic Zone P-Day!
With love,
Elder Frederickson
