I Saw The Queen!

Hiya!

Thank you all for your love and concern!  There was an attack at Westminster, but all of the missionaries are safe.  Contacting at Big Ben is not the best because everyone there is a tourist. So we were far away and safe.  Thank you so much for all of your prayers!  

Also, I saw he queen!  Haha!  Driving with her police escorts!  It was pretty cool!


This week has FLOWN by!  I guess every week flies by.  I honestly can't believe that tomorrow I have been out for 6 months.  I have learned so much, seen so many amazing places, met so many amazing people, and yet I know that I have so much left to learn.  Only 18 months to learn it!  I want to savour every moment of being a missionary.  This really has been the best 6 months of my life!  

Man!  We are meeting an amazing girl named Xizi!  She is Chinese, but grew up in Canada.  Her faith is amazing, and her willingness to follow Christ is amazing!  She is looking forward to being baptised, and she is really, really excited to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost!  At church she had an amazing experience!  There was a wonderful talk about mothers that brought her to tears.  Then the hymn "love at home" really hit her hard.  She said that it was powerful.  Sacrament meeting really is powerful.  Something that I've learned on my mission is just how important it is.  That promise we make every week is incredible!  Then during women's conference she took notes like a mad-woman the whole time!  Amazing!  People truly are being prepared to hear the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Being in the heart of London is fantastic!  You meet all sorts of people!  We bumped into a girl named Alma and we just had to let her know she's named after a Book of Mormon prophet!  Then we bumped into a crazy Mormon fan girl that went nuts when we stopped her!  She wanted to take a selfie with us and everything!  Now she's being taught by missionaries in Whales!  

Great week here!  I really know that this is he Lords work!  I love you all so much!  


Have an amazing week!
