The subject line is a tribute to our dear investigator who came to
church with us while he was completely stoned and proclaimed how "lit"
it was to the entire congregation right after we all stood and sang
Families can be Together Forever. That's what you get in East London.
He's right though.
And the phrase is how I feel about our week too! On Tuesday I was on
an exchange with Sister Gade from FIJI. She's totally awesome. We were
both trained by the same person! I loved being with her and she is
such a spiritual giant!
We went finding on Thursday and we were in Dagenham, a town in our
area that is just perfect because it's full of humble Africans. We
went into the library because we had an appointment and there was a
full blown party going on! People from like every country in Africa
had brought food from their countries and so it was a food festival.
We went around and it was such a perfect finding opportunity. We
handed out so many Book of mormons. This is such a blessed land.
After church on Sunday we were rushing to the Europe Broadcast in
Romford and we stopped by an investigator's. He has such a nice family
and he is the pastor of a church, they had a birthday party and they
gave us cake and jelloff rice and sent us on our way!
The Broadcast was amazing. I won't reveal too many secrets because it
was exclusive for those of us in Europe:) Elder Ballard bore such a
powerful testimony. I loved what he had to say. He promised us all
miracles if we simply believe and shared such powerful experiences in
his life. I love him so much! The spirit was so strong at the
Broadcast and we had two recent converts with us, Ben and Curtis,
they are amazing.
Also we got a surprise this week, the legendary Sister Ranck and
Sister Epicoco knocked on the door of our flat! They used to serve
here and came back to visit Ilford! I serve around the most fun people
ever. Sister Lamb is incredible. We both love talking about so mannyyy
things. Last night we stayed up having a serious talk about deep sea
trenches. There's a random fact for you.
The work of God continues!
XOXO
Sister Barnes
