WHEN YOU ARE TREATED LIKE APOSTLES ;)




Well hello there!

Man this week has been busy but so great!

Monday, we met up with a less active we hadn't met yet and SHE IS SO SWEET! She is from Peru, and is just the best person. We already love her so much and are really excited to continue visiting her. :) We also had FHE with a member and her two little girls; they are adorable. The oldest is almost 10 and hasn't been baptised yet, so we are going to start going through the lessons to help her prepare. :)

Tuesday and Wednesday I got a bit of food poisoning we think, and so I had to stay in doors mostly. But we were able to meet with the Relief Society president and discuss a few of the members and things she needs our help with. 

Thursday was the funniest day of my life. So because of some circumstantial things, we weren't able to make it to the Whitechapel district meeting, so we went to London Norths instead! And The Zone Leaders, (Elder Williams and Elder Chronister) told the whole district that there were "2 special guests" coming. So the ZL's picked us up and the station to take us to the chapel, and on the way called Elder Hansen, the District Leader, to tell him that they were on their way with the "guests." Hahaha apparently Elder Hansen was FREAKING out and they all thought it was going to be President and Sister Stevens and they were just held in a lot of suspense. And Elder Williams and Elder Chronister kept egging them on. Sooo funny. Then we walk up to the chapel and Elder Williams calls and says "Hey we're almost here, the guest want everyone sitting in their seat quietly reading this talk from April 2014 conference." Then they had us wait about 4 minutes before coming, and when we walked in..man. The looks on their faces were priceless. Hahaha and then we had a really great district meeting complete with a 3 course meal afterwards!! 

Friday we had the greatest VC miracle! This man named Andy came in and said he had talked to a missionary on mormon.org, and felt really uplifted, so he wanted to come in! We taught him lesson 1 and the spirit was just overwhelming the whole time. We gave him a Book of Mormon and invited him to read, and to meet with missionaries. He left all his information, and the best part? He's 28 and so we referred him to the Britannia elders!! He also Facebooked Sister Wai and I later that night to set up a time the next day to come in again and chat. The unfortunately, we did get another message saying he wanted to take a few weeks to really think about it before committing himself...BUT THEN we got another one where he said he really felt his heart being pulled here, his Mom just wanted him to take it slow. SO! We will see where it goes! He is SO nice and So prepared!! We're excited to see how it all works out. :)

Then on Friday night we had a lesson with Angela. We taught her about The Gospel of Jesus Christ and committed her to really come to church (she hasn't been since Sister Wai came). She said she would and SHE DID! On Sunday she walked in and we ran to her and told her how happy we were. :) The talks were all about things she needed to hear and she told us that she was so grateful that she came. 

Saturday we went to go and see the less active again, but because of some events, weren't able to have a lesson, but we did see her for a few minutes! She gave us a big hugs and told us how she appreciated us coming. We'll see her again this week. :)

Sunday, was beautiful! Church was SO good and Angela was able to come. :) And Kemi came, too!!!!!!!!!! She walked in right after the sacrament, as Sister Wai and I were both preparing to go to her house and get her haha. We were able to have a lesson after with her, where we extended a baptismal date for November 7th. She said she will pray about it, but it feels really good. We're so excited!! She's great and I really love her. 

That night, we had dinner at Michael's house with Harriet. :) During the meal, we played the full length Joseph Smith movie, (which is my most favourite movie ever.) And then after we introduced him to Sons of Provo. He's a DJ, and he LOVED it. He said he is so excited to show his friends how normal Mormon's are. Hahahaha. :) 

Well, this week I've really been able to see all the little miracles and answers God gives us each and every day. When we open our eyes and look for these, and pray for the spirit to help us see them, our attitude changes, and we can truly see God's hand in EVERYTHING. I'm so grateful for this Gospel and how it changes lives, as it has changed mine. :) 

Love you all! Thanks for everything. :)
