Easter in England!

 I had a really cool experience yesterday, the trains weren't running because it was Easter Sunday.  We had to walk a lot. On the way to a little town called Weybridge(about 25min walk from Addlestone), we saw a lady and her daughter sitting on a bench. I felt we needed to go talk to her, so I mentioned it to my companion, and off we went. We started talking to her she was so kind her 9 yr. old daughter just seemed so happy! They were eating a lunch in the freezing cold, but were so happy! We talked to them for about 30 min. they said they will come to church on Sunday and we have an appointment with them for later this week. If that isn't a miracle, I don't know what is! If we caught a train we would have never met her, if we weren't walking through that town within those 15 min. she might have been gone, and most important, the spirit guided the way, as it always does if we are willing and worthy. Isn't that so cool! I don't know what will happen with her in the future, but I know we were lead to her for a reason, and what a better day to find her then Easter(: her name is Maureen, and her daughter is Laura!  One more thing Patricia has a baptismal date!! Woo!! 20 April(: She might be out of town, but we are seeing her this week to find out(: She does want to be baptised(: 

They are celebrating Easter in England and there is chocolate eggs basically everywhere you look! Its been another cold week, its supposed to be cold here until the end of April which is a little sad, but its okay:)  It was a different Easter Sunday. We heard two really good talks about the Savior during Sacrament.  The last 2 hours was all about missionary work. My companion and I had to do a 30 min. presentation to show the members what they can do and say to use this time to share the Gospel with their friends and those they meet on trains or where ever. It was pretty funny, we did some role-play and if you don't already know this, I'm a terrible actor so there was a lot of laughing. Each family and individual has a copy of the Book of Mormon and are expected to give them out within the next 2 weeks. We have some return appointments from our white board contacting we have done this week. Friday everyone was out for school. We spent about 5 hours outside of a big shopping mall talking to a ton of people, it was great!

I have been studying the New Testament, yesterday and today I read from John 10-14, amazing chapters. The Savior is such a great example. Interesting enough, my Dad told me I needed to do something nice for my companion like shine his shoes or iron his shirt. I read the story of how Jesus Christ washed all his Disciples feet, and why did he do this? Because he was an example. He said we need to "love one another as I have loved you". Reminds me of that great primary song, love one another! Good idea for family night, read John 13:34-35 and then sing Love One Another(: I love my Savior and I'm grateful I have the chance to be serving and loving him and all those around me!

 Have a great week! Cheers!(:
