Hi!
I am currently in a trio right now and it is such a great time!
Here is a miracle from the week! Please share with the fam!
Yesterday, my companions both went to the departing temple trip (they are both going home this transfer), so I was on exchange with Elder Norman and Elder Smith. We had just got back to the chapel when it started to POUR rain. It came out of nowhere and all of the tourists who were on Exhibition Road were trying to seek shelter from the storm. A few people came into the church to escape the downpour and we got some pretty good conversations going. The real miracle was a few minutes later, when we saw this man walking down in the rain and we felt to go out and invite him in. He seemed a bit reluctant, but decided to come in anyway. His name was Ferdinand. As we got to know him better, we learned that he has been going through a really hard time. He opened up quite a bit. He told us that he hasn't been to church in over 12 years, but knows that he should. He said that he doesn't want to turn to God because he is in a bad situation, but we testified that God just cares about the fact that we do turn to him. We read a verse from the Book of Mormon and he said that it spoke to him. That it was the first time he had read scriptures in a LONG time. He then looked at us and said, "what is the next step." We set some really good expectations with him. He is so excited to come to church and change! Miracles from a rainstorm in London!
I know that this is the Lord's work. No doubt in my mind.
Mosiah 20:11
"And it came to pass that the people of Limhi began to drive the Lamanites before them; yet they were not half so numerous as the Lamanites. But they fought for their lives, and for their wives, and for their children; therefore they exerted themselves and like dragons did they fight."
Give it all you have this week! Fight like dragons! Fight for the people you love! Christ helps us to exert ourselves when we feel like we can't. I know that and I have felt it.
We just got back late from watching the Lion Kingon west End with President Checketts! It was legendary!
Love you both so much!
Elder Draper
