3/27/2017 "Warm Days"

Well the last few days have actually been super warm!!! We are totally enjoying the sunshine and we are just happy. The week has gone by super fast and it has been super busy. It's crazy that this is the last week of the transfer. Time seems to by flying by each and every day. Elder Williams and I cannot believe how fast these last few weeks have gone. We have seen some cool things happen this week and we are excited for the up coming week and what it has to offer.

So first things first, there was the terrorist attack in Westminster. So that was quite crazy! We were traveling into the city on Thursday morning and it was sad to see the newspapers everywhere on the underground and everyone just seemed very sad. We were able to give out some pass along cards to as many people as were interested just to invite them to look at the church website. We were able to testify of the plan of salvation quite a bit this week and it was a special experience.

We were on an exchange this week and I was with an elder from Spain. He's a good man. We were out contacting all day and we were on our way back for dinner but felt prompted to stay out longer. We decided that we would skip dinner and contact a street that we hadn't hit during the day. It was late at night and it was a bit chilly. We were basically the only ones out just walking up and down this street lined with fish and chip shops, cheap chicken shops, and some polish markets. We felt a bit out of place but we pressed on and after a few minutes we were able to find a wonderful woman named L. She is from Ghana and she is super super interested in learning about the Book of Mormon. We are looking forward to seeing her! We felt super grateful for that prompting. We also found a less active man from Afghanistan and he wants to start coming back to church. He was baptised 10 years ago and he works at a fish and chips shop, and his fish and chips are the best I've had my whole mission!

Lords Hand

I saw the Lords Hand this week in finding L as well as D, the less active man. The Lord totally directed us, through the spirit. It was lovely to see the fruits of being obedient to small promoting. Promptings that in the moment don't even seem like promptings but really and truly are after we are obedient to even just small feelings that we have.

I love this work. England is great. I love the people, and the diversity. #prayforlondon

I love you! Happy birthday momma!
