This week has been a killer week! General conference was brilliant as always and we just had some sweet things happen! We are stoked! The weather has cooled down quite a bit this week, it was almost a slap to the face to be honest. I didn't really see it coming. We have had the sun come out a few times so we are happy about that! Life is good though. Lots of people coming out of the woodwork. We have had quite a bit of finding time this week with meetings and everything. I've really felt the Lord bless us in that way. 

The first of the week was lovely. I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST! I can officially say I've passed the hardest driving test in the world. So I'm pretty happy about that. So I was stoked. We then drove into London later on Tuesday evening and stayed in the Britannia flat. It was so good to see Marcus again. We had some time to just chat and talk about the good times. He's a stud. I'm grateful to have him out here with me. He's going to love Britannia as well. It was nice being back in London as always. It's the best. It was the first time I've driven in so it was beautiful driving through Hyde park. 

We had another great meeting in Hyde park and we really enjoyed listening to president. He is an inspired man and always knows what is best for the mission. I am so grateful for him and sister Stevens. It was nice to see all the old comps and catch up with them as well. It seems like I say this in every email haha. But it was good. Elder Burgess and elder Mecham are still alive. We still talk about the good old MTC days. 

We had zone meeting on Friday and it was a good time. It was lovely to be with the whole zone and just be spiritually uplifted. We had some wicked insights and we all learned tons! After I was on exchange with elder pasten. From chile. It was our 5th exchange with each other because we also served in the London north zone together. He is also from my group so we had a good time. 

General conference was brilliant!!!!! We had two of our Chinese friends come. E and J! We found E last week while on exchange. He was with 2 Chinese girls that we stopped and they both said they weren't interested. But as they walked away. E came up to us and said, in the little English he could speak.  "hey, I'm interested to know God." It was so cool! We set up a time to see him and he has accepted a baptismal date for November 6th. But....not even the best part, he said he wanted to bring a friend to church that would be interested too. So they both came to church and we were able to teach J today. And J also accepted a baptismal date for the 6th of November. So these two Chinese friends will be growing in the gospel together. They are so willing and ready to act, they are already being converted by the gospel of Christ. It has been a lovely experience to be a part of   already.

LORDS HAND

I saw the Lords Hand this week in E and J. They have been prepared and are willing to act on the answers they receive. I also saw the Lords Hand this week in conference. We are so lucky to have inspired men of god preach and teach true doctrine to us. I know as we apply most importantly, the doctrine of Christ in our lives, we will find joy in every day living as saints in the gospel. I'm stoked to be ambitious for Christ.
