Family!

So I have to be quick because we have a lesson in a few minutes. Sorry for not sending one to you all earlier but we have been way busy. One of the Elders in our district went home so we had to help him with all his stuff going into central London and stuff. Sad to see him go but he served a great mission. We got along so well. His name is Elder Jamieson from Scotland. Way cool guy.

Sooo...transfers came and I am staying here in Wembley! I am getting a new companion from Malaysia and i hear he is pretty cool. Apparently he is super humble, and loves to dance. hahaha i cant wait! Were going to make a music video. Cant wait to get with him. Also the work here is going so great and i would have been way bummed if i left. We just found a bunch of people who are miracles! Allow me to share.

So this past Sunday Nina got baptized and wow what a great experience. She was so happy. She is a way shy girl and after the bishop asked her how she felt and she responded "Words cant describe how happy I am right now." Such a tender moment. She invited her brother to watch and he stayed for all of church. He said when asked how he felt about the restoration "we have a saying in Iran that basically means you can feel when someone is telling the truth. I can feel it." So were beginning to teach him this week in which we are going to give him a baptismal date. They also have a whole family who Nina told us would be interested in learning more.

Next there is a lady called Tracy. Tracy is from Ghana but has lived in the Uk and Los Angeles for the majority of her life. She was a former from way back in 2008. Calling her was super funny. She was like I haven't talked to you guys in ages! She allowed us to come over. Upon meeting her we found out that she has 2 kids, a son who is 12 and a daughter who is 4. She loved the message that the missionaries shared with her originally but her husband was a devout Catholic and wouldn't allow the missionaries into there home anymore. They got divorced less than a year ago. She is ready for the gospel. I am so excited to teach her. Truly the Lord is hastening his work! Miracles are happening daily.

Family I love what I am doing and appreciate the prayers for me on your behalf. Trust me, they are working. I am experiencing more happiness now than i ever have in my life. Our savior meant it when he says that if we lose ourselves in his name then shall we find ourselves. 

all my love
