Monday we had a whirlwind tour of the Victoria and Albert
Museum by Sister Ashby, where we were able to see some AMAZING things, like
Shakespeare's first folio and Da Vinci p's notebook. It's was pretty
incredible. :)
Tuesday was crazy busy. I loved it! Shift was good, and we were able to have a really good online lesson with our friend in Madagascar, and it turns out he is being taught by my good friend, Elder Rasmussen! How crazy, cool, haha. Then we had a lesson at 3:30 with Min Tzu, where
we went over tithing. She is the best!! Then at 4:30 we had a lesson with our recent convert Spike, and talked about the Book of Mormon and patriarchal blessings! He is amazing. Then at 5:30, we had another recent convert lesson with Wei Wei! Ah man, so good! He kept talking about how amazing it is to be disciples of Christ and to be a part of His kingdom. I really love having the opportunity to work with the amazing people here in Britannia. They've already taught me so much!! Then we had dinner, and half way through Sister Hannig randomly said "I need gelato. Now." Hahaha so we ran to this place down the street to grab gelato, and ended up running into Sophie, the HP1 elders investigator! (The elders had just whitewashed in so they didn't actually know her yet, but both Sister Hannig and I are close to her) so that was a huge tender mercy, and we were able to invite her to the chapel so the new elders could meet her. The Lord truly helps us be where we need to be, even if it is by inspiring us to get gelato. ;) Then we had correlation at 7:30! It was just a crazy, busy, and wonderful day!!
Wednesday, we went finding on exhibition road and talked to some interesting people, but they weren't very interested. We did get one guys mobile number though! So that was good.
Thursday, we decided to call random people from our phone and see if anyone was interested in meeting again. The first person I called was a girl named Jill, and she immediately said she would love to meet, and offered a time that ended up being PERFECT for us!! It was such a
needed tender mercy. :)
Friday, we had zone meeting! It was really great. We talked a lot about accountability and solving problems the Lords way. I really love zone meetings and being able to gather with other missionaries to discuss the gospel and missionary work. I'm currently serving around some of the best missionaries who have become some of my closest friends and I am SO grateful!!
Saturday was the VC meeting and breakfast, which is always great. :) Then later that evening, we had the best lessons. First, our new friend from last week, Yim, came! We taught him with a great member, Eszter. We talked about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon, and he really seemed to get it. When we told him about Joseph Smith he said "So, it sounds like he was called as another prophet? That's cool!" Haha and then we invited him to be baptised on the 8th of May, and he said that if he could 100% know that it was true, of course! So we promised him he could know if he would read, pray, and come to church. :) Then our miracle new investigator from phone contacting came for her lesson AND SHE BROUGHT A FRIEND. And they are both SOOOO good. We taught with Jacint Horvath, who was a missionary who served here and then moved back. (it's weird teaching with former elders, but really nice!) We also talked about the Restoration and invited them to be baptised on the 8th of May and they accepted. :) Jill and Sierra! And Sierra has a member friend that lives in Utah! They are both from Taiwan, but are really interested and receptive. I'm SO excited to be able to continue to meet with them. :)

ALSO! A big group of Chinese
missionaries went to the temple and they took along our investigator, Qian, and
the elders investigator, Yuxin. AND IT WAS PERFECT. Qian had a beautiful time
and watched the Testaments and was so touched, she cried. See also sends us
pictures on WeChat every time she is reading. :) It's the best! We will see her
this week and hear more about her expirence.
Sunday was a bit crazy, as always haha. :) We had church,
and that was so good. Then afterward, we had a munch and mingle and it was a
great time to meet members and introduce myself to the ward. I love Britannia!!
It's so much fun and the members are the best. That night the AP's friend,
Arteh, was baptised and so we went to that. It was a beautiful service!
Roger, who was supposed to be
baptised on Sunday has disappeared a bit and hasn't answered our calls.
Hopefully we will get in touch with him this week!
This week we also had a good amount
of contact with our online friend, James. He is in Hawaii and is going to be
baptised on Saturday! He is SOO excited and he bore his testimony to us on
Facebook and I loved it. He is really great. We love him! I just love having
the opportunity to serve in the VC and work online, with so many different
people from all over. :)
I'm just so grateful to be able to serve here at this time.
I'm grateful to be a missionary and to witness little miracles every single
day. It's all true! The Gospel is great and I love it with all my heart. :)
Have a great week!! Cheers!
