All Hail to the Wembley ZONE







What a golden week! Sister Campos and I have been loving every minute.
We had interviews with President on Thursday in London and so we got
to travel to the Hyde Park Chapel for those, and it is just my
favourite place! It was so good to spend time with President and
Sister Stevens, the time with them is so sweet and precious. We were
with our district for the morning and then I was able to be reunited
with Sister Cook because we were with our zone for the rest of the
day! The Wembley District is the biggest district in the entire
mission and so we call ourselves a zone and it annoys the zone leaders
soooooo much, it is so funny! We had a wonderful time!
We also had exchanges the next day in North London with Sister Wilson
and Sister Lamb, and it was Sister Lamb's birthday!!! We got to spend
time with them in London and a member of their ward took us to a
Turkish restaurant and we had the biggest feast! It was awesome! I can
never get over how beautiful London is. Sister Campos and I were sure
lucky to spend so much time in central London this week
As for the work in Hayes, it is AMAZING ME. We were able to meet this
awesome student from Vietnam and he is just amazing. We put him on
date for baptism and he is so excited! We have been working incredibly
hard to find new investigators and wow, the Lord has delivered His
people right into our arms. We have a huge teaching pool of miracle
people. It's something I'm so thankful for as I train sweet Sister
Campos, there is not one miracle that goes unnoticed by me, because I
see the Lord putting in His effort as we put in ours!
We ran into a man earlier in the week and just started immediately
talking to him about the plan of salvation. He was so humble and quiet
and just listened to us so closely, we asked him a little about
himself and he told us that 25 years ago he had lost his fiancé to
suicide and for years he has been suffering. He was SO interested in
the plan of salvation that he met with us in a cafe the next day and
was doing his best not to cry as we explained death and eternal
families. He message meant so much to him and he told us he was able
to feel peace with it for the first time. It's moments like this where
I am so honoured to be a missionary for Christ's true church. Have a
wonderful week everyone, I love you!

XOXO
