6/12/2017 "Elder Christofferson, restoration DVDs, and Russian Art"



Well it was a solid week here in London! Life is good! The city is just being city haha. Always going 100 miles an hour. But we are loving it. The more people the better haha. There are always people to talk to here so it's always super super nice, we always have opportunities to talk to someone about the gospel, if it's on the street, in the tube, or on the buses. There are always souls that are searching for the restored gospel. And we have it and it's the best!

So first things first, Elder Christofferson of the 12 will be coming to the mission on the 16th. So this Friday! We are totally looking forward to that! It has been such a blessing as a mission to have such special visits from apostles of the Lord. We will also have President Kearon there and we love him too! He was here for a mission tour last year. It will just be a solid, spiritually uplifting Week! So we are pumped. We had a zone conference this week with the Watford zone so it was good to see some missionaries and most importantly being uplifted from president and sister Stevens. They are the best.

So we were giving out restoration Pass along cards the other day, like the super super old school ones from like 5 years ago hahaa, and on the back it talks about a free restoration DVD that we give out. To be honest we were using these cards because we were out of the normal
Mormon.org ones. So we were giving these cards out last week and just this week we received a call From this man saying he wanted a free DVD. Hahaha we got a bit worried and didn't really think about the whole DVD thing. We booked it to the flat and checked our DVD section. We were blessed to have one more of them!! We were able to meet and teach him about the restoration. He came to church and is now progressing quite well! We were super super happy and felt beyond blessed to have found him. His name is Twan and he is a legend.

LDS Russian Artist Damir Krivenko

Today was cool. We were doing service for a Russian member who was holding an art galley in London. He was here for 2 weeks and heads back to Russia today. But his work is amazing and we were able to help him pack it up today. He gave us each a gift which was just a small piece of his work. It was cool to be In a little studio with all of this amazing art work. But that was super cool!




Lords Hand
I saw the Lords Hand this week in a woman we found on the street. She comes from an Islamic faith and she was expressing how she felt a closest to Jesus Christ. We went on to talk more about why we feel that way and where it comes from. She shared some experiences with us and she explained how when she thinks about Christ there is more than knowing he was just a person but that He brings a special peace into people's lives. We were able to share our testimonies of Christ with her and share scriptures with her from the Book of Mormon. I'm grateful for my testimony of Him, I'm grateful to know he lives.

I love you all!!! I hope you have a solid second week of summer!!!
