Third Cousin Sighting

P-Day at Westminster Abbey

Hello family!
This week has been pretty good! It's gone pretty fast! It was crazy to see all the missionaries go home last week! Some of them were my good buddies. Elder fisher is now back in Australia! Ifs crazy to think that 9 months ago he was training me up and now he's back home. I was super grateful for him and all the good times we had together. Time is just flying by out here. Sometimes it's crazy. Like the month just flies and I don't even realize. Last year at this time we had already had senior prom and we were about to graduate. It just blows my mind some days. Bens going to be a junior! Will a freshman! Gracie at
Clayton!!! Crazy!

This week has been good! We are really hoping to have 2 baptisms this Month. We are really working with Kingsley with his commitment. All he wants is to be baptized he just needs to come to church and really find his motivation. We also found this woman on the street who ended up telling us that she had met with missionaries and that she bailed the day she was suppose to be baptized. So it really has been a miracle that we found her and that she wants to meet! She is pretty old and she always loses her phone or gets a new one so its really hard to contact her and she is never home. We are just praying that we can see her and that she will come to church. She accepted a baptismal date for the 29th of May. She is way cool! We just need lots of miracles for everything to go as we want it to this week and the next. This transfer is only 5 weeks so a lot needs to happen! Especially because Elder Oaks is coming haha.

We are also teaching a family from Brazil who is super super awesome! They fathers name is Alex and he is so interested in the gospel. He wants to be baptized but his wife holds him back quite a bit. But he loves coming to church and we really hope he can be baptized this month as well. It will just take some effort on his part. His wife is supportive but he just needs to commit. He is super super awesome though!

Jacob and his cousin James

It was so good to see James. We went to lunch and just chatted for a while. It's crazy him and Anna are getting married in like 14 days. That seriously is crazy! All the Parkin cousins are getting married! But I’m super super excited for him. I really am so glad I got to see him. We walked into the VC the other Day and I saw all these guys at one of the exhibits. Wow they looked so American. And of course it was James. I saw roddy as well. It was super cool. It wasn't even planned. It's pretty crazy how many people you actually see here. London is
just a place where everyone wants to go. It's crazy! But it really is an amazing place. I will always love London haha. It never gets old. Momma you would love it so much!

The Lords Hand
The Lords Hand has been seen in my life this week in elder fisher and all that he taught me. It was sad to see him go. We really had so much fun together and I think he really helped me at the start of my mission. I am really grateful for that. The Lord placed us together because I needed elder fishers help.

Well that's basically my week. Not much else has happened. Keep Kingsley and Angela in your prayers. They really need them! I love you guys so much! Keep being the best of the best. Still can't believe schools almost out. I hope east lax is killing it!
Love you guys!
No short cuts

Jake
