Hey there one and all.
I hope you guys are doing well. I had a fantastic week last
week.
We found two people that are
preparing to be baptized on February 10th! Their names are Michael Everett, and Lucia
Everett. I am really excited about them, Michael is Lucia's son. They have family that are members of the
church, and they know the bishop really well.
They came to church last week which was really exciting. And they really
fit in with everyone. I am super stoked on them.
We also found a super rad guy named Thomas Hooke. He’s like 21 and has a friend in Grays who is
a member. He is interested in the gospel.
He asked us questions about polygamy and said he thought the idea of us practicing
the polygamy way back then was pretty cool and that he liked it. Strange, but it is better than the other
reactions we get to it.
Transfers are next week, so don’t send any letters yet
till I find out what is happening.
Had interviews with President Jordan. He is truly an inspired man. We talked for a good hour about . . . well
all sorts of things -- the Book of Mormon, England, home, and what is going to
happen when all these missionaries start pouring in. It is truly an exciting time to be a
missionary. Our mission is like doubling in size.
Also, we went sightseeing yesterday
in London, and because we are ministers we got into Westminster Abbey for free,
which was nice. So we were walking in
there (super cool place) and then one of the clergy came up and said, "Oh,
you are ministers, come follow me."
So we followed him and he took us behind the coronation seat to the
stone casket of KING EDWARD LONGSHANKS.
I had no idea what was going on. I
was in shock. And then the clergy guy calmly
just said, "Let us pray."
What the heck??????
Anyways, he gives us a piece of paper with a written
prayer on it, and we literally prayed to King Edward right in front of where
his remains are lying. I don’t think I will ever say "King Edward bless
us" as many times as I did in that prayer haha. It was a good time. There were four missionaries there and we
all did not know what we were doing.
After that the guy took us around to where Handel is
buried and Charles Dickens, and Mary Queen of Scots and explained some of the
stories behind them. I loved it.
Here are some pictures.
Love you guys.
CHEERIO
