6 MORE WEEKS IN THE GREATEST PLACE IN LONDON!!



Hello!!

As you can probably tell from the subject, I'm staying in Whitechapel with Sister Wai!! WOOHOO! It will be my 5th transfer here and I couldn't be more excited! I also will continue to be a VC STL with Sister Lung and am SO excited to work with her for another transfer. :)

This week was so great! We did A LOT of finding, with not a lot of success, but the craziest thing was how FANTASTIC I would feel afterward. No, we didn't find a new investigator, yes, we talked to some...haha...interesting people. But I just felt so energised after, and it made it all worth it. :)

We were stopping by a former investigator, but they weren't home. So we walked to the end of the street and realised that we were RIGHT next to Kemi's home! We haven't seen her in a while, and she hasn't been responding to us, so we stopped by. And she was home and SO happy to see us! We had a great little lesson with her, and asked her if she had been praying about baptism. She looked at us, and said "Well, I guess I will break the news, but......I'm definitely getting baptised." WHAT. YES. YES. YES!!!!!! AH! She is SO great! She said that she really received her answer and she knows it is what she wants to do. She just might be moving in the next week or so, she's not sure, but we will see her later this week to discuss and set a date with her. I love her SO much! So that was the highlight of my week. :)

Wednesday we went on a trek across Hackney to find a toilet because I was dying. Then we found one. And it was locked. Hahaha Sister Wai was laughing at me, but hey! We talked to some cool people, so it was all worth it. :)

Friday we were supposed to see Vivien but when we called her to let her know we were coming she just said "Oh, I'm on a bench in Hyde Park. COME FIND ME!" Then hung up. Well, we didn't find her (we didn't look very hard though because it was going to be impossible), but we talked to her on the phone on Sunday and set up another appointment. While talking to her, I felt impressed to extend a baptismal date, on the phone. So I did! And she accepted!! November 28th. :) She just lives right on the border of Whitechapel and London North, so we will talk to he to see which chapel she wants to go to. 

We also had a dinner appointment with Michael and, as always, he made us great food. :) Sister Cardall came with us and it was so great!! :)

Saturday we had a great VC meeting. We did some role plays for the Special Witnesses exhibit, and I got to pretend to be a woman priest. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. And then suddenly we heard some people come into the VC, so we all turned and....SISTER PHILLIPS AND SISTER HUG (I mean...Megan and Naomi...) walked in! It was SO great to see them!!!! Sister Hug is here for a week so she has been in and out and it's been great. :) Then we went to go find in Pimlico and ended up missing out bus stop AGAIN and ended up in the London South mission. But on the bright side I talked to a super sweet girl on the bus. :)

Sunday we went finding in Pimlico again and stopped by a former investigator. She was SO sweet and agreed to meet with us again the following Sunday! So that was a great little miracle. :)

Well!! I'm so excited for this next transfer, if you can't tell, I'm REALLY happy to be staying in Whitechapel. I love it here and I love being a missionary. :) Sometimes, It's really tough. But God doesn't give us anything we can't handle, and this is HIS work. When we remember that, we feel at peace and can truly accomplish what He wants us to. Have a great week!

Xx
