tremendously spiritual. With so many recent terrorist attacks in
England, we have been able to speak peace to a lot of people's minds.
Missionaries are really needed here at this time. The Gospel is
helping everyone over here, even the people who we run into on the
street who go their own way after 2 minutes.
And yesterday was one of the best Sundays I have had in my entire
mission! It was fast and testimony meeting, and we had four
investigators attend! Two of them were just super unexpected and we
didn't really think they would show up, but they did. During the
meeting, our investigator who will be baptised in a couple weeks got
up and bore his testimony. . . It's only his 3rd time being at church!
It was such a beautiful testimony too, me and Sister Campos were
basically weeping. After he went up, a less active member that was
attending for the first time in ages got up and talked about how she
had ran into us in town center and how we had ran up and hugged her
and helped her to feel so much better with things going on. It was
amazing because when we did that we had no idea it had that big of an
impact.
One of our investigators that attended sacrament, I literally had to
sweet talk all week to try to get him to come and FINALLY he agreed.
He just moved here from New Zealand and told me that he was only going
to come ONCE, he was NOT going to meet with us, and he will never
return to church. However, the spirit was so strong as countless
people went up and bore testimony that I know he felt something. You
should've seen the Hayes ward in action. Every time I looked at him
there was some new awesome person talking to him and making him laugh.
He stayed at the church for so long.
And he's meeting with us on Thursday.
Another wonderful investigator that was there is just an absolute
miracle! We were on our way to teach a lesson at the chapel one
morning and saw this young guy sitting on a bench, we had time to hand
him a card and then as we were in the church he walked up to the
doors! We were able to give him a chapel tour and he accepted a date
to be baptised! We have been meeting with him all week and he loved
coming to church. He's awesome and he produces music and raps.
I could write more, but just know that the Lord is taking care of His
people in England. I love it here so much and every day I am so shaken
with gratitude that this is my life. Keep London in your prayers, and
know that you're always in mine.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
love, and of a sound mind.
