SLC Boys

Well the caption with be explained with the photos I will send. But I was with Marcus this week and we had a good time. So we are stoked. We also have an exchange on Friday this week and we are going to work our little buns off out here in England. So we are looking forward to that. It is super strange seeing him around hahaha but we love it. It's just like home. He's a powerful missionary and he's doing great things over here in Enfield.

The week was fast and we are tired haha like always, but happy. So we really saw the Lords Hand in many ways this week. With people being found on the street, or just small little things in our daily lives as missionaries. The week was packed with finding, stake conference, and Elder Williams birthday hahaha. So I will start with finding, we were out talking to people and we stopped a really cool Indian man who turned out to be very interested. His name is J and he is totally prepared. He has a lot of soul searching questions and has a very sincere desire to find the answers to them. we are seeing him tomorrow! To be completely honest. I am still so amazed at the diversity of England and especially greater London (Watford) there are so many different people here. 

Elder Williams and I are starting to make a map of all the people we have talked to and which countries they are from. And to be honest, we would only be missing a few. It's absolutely incredible. I never would have imagined teaching such a diverse group of people. I had never even met someone from Poland, Romania, Syria, etc, but now we talk to them every single day. I feel so blessed to meet so many of a Gods children, it is very special to me.

We had an exchange in The city this week! Ahhhhh back to the stomping grounds. It was good to be back that's for sure. We taught some cool Chinese people and even saw some people that I taught over a year ago. We saw A which was super super good. He's doing well and seems super happy. It's always so good being back there and always sad leaving.

Stake conference was super super solid. Elder Sabin of the seventy was there and he spoke to us! He spoke in such a simple way, it was very powerful. He talked about so many things but put them into such a perfect perspective. I was able to learn and take away a lot. His general conference talk from just a few weeks ago was one of my favourites as well haha so it was great to hear from him again.

Lords Hand
I saw the Lords Hand this week in stake conference. I was able to receive a lot confirmations from the spirit and answers to questions that I've had and that I came with. I have felt such a peace over the last few weeks with my mission, I love it here. I see the Lords Hand daily in what I am doing here. I would not change my experience here for the world. I'm grateful that I can find joy in the little things, it's taken me a while to finally figure it out. I have seen the Lords Hand in helping me do that.

I love you all! Stoked the Jazz are doing well hahaha, it even big over here, it will be great conversation on the street to introduce the gospel in some way! So we are stoked!!!

I love you!!
