"London days"

 

It was a solid week this week! We went into town 3 times so it was great. We have been super super busy and we don't have much time to write today. But it has been a lovely week full of miracles and cool experiences. The Lord is so mindful of us as missionaries. We were able to be very spiritually uplifted this week with meetings and other great experiences so it's been very special.

So first things first, we did some services this week and it was so good. We were able to get a bit muddy and it reminded me of the good old days in the yards around the neighbourhood just grinding haha. But it was nice. We have been able to form a great relationship with this less active man who we have helped. His wife is an active member but he has struggled. We have become friends with him and he came to church just this last week! It was brilliant!!!! When we walked in we were so stoked. So he's a legend haha.

We had a mission tour on Friday with Elder Phillips of the 70. He is such a great man. He was the Stake President of Hyde park when I was serving in the Stake last year so I did meet him a few times. He is a powerful man and has the classic posh Londoner accent haha. But it was a very special conference for me because I was able to have a lot of questions that I came to the tour answered. It was so cool to see how all of them were answered in such a simple real way. I've been able to really reflect a lot on the things that I learned.

We had a few meetings as well and it was good to catch up with some old companions. They all seem like they are doing well. It was also so great be with President and Sister Stevens. I love them.

Lords Hand

I saw the Lords Hand this week in J. Our good friend! He is incredible. We saw him a few times and he was able to watch The Prophet of theRestoration video. When we had our lesson with him after, he was bearing his own testimony of the prophet and how he know Joseph Smith was called of God. He lives with friends from other faiths who have been somewhat hard on him. He shared with us how he keeps strong to his faith. I saw the Lords Hand in him giving up alcohol within a day. He is an incredible man. And I love him very much.

Life is good out here. My birthday was so lovely. I love the Flandros. Haha they made it feel like home with their support. They are the best. They will be very special to me forever. Elder Williams and I are enjoying the work. It's goes faster and faster every day.

I love you! Sad East lax lost to Oly. Hope the next few games go well!!! I love you💙💙

No short cuts.
