Less Active!

Its great being a missionary at this time, everyone is talking about missionary work. It was so fun being in the middle of London. While walking to the conference I was talking to so many people trying to give out as many cards as I could! I remembered when we went to NYC and how cool that was, and being in London reminded me of that. I don't think I could be more blessed then to be in this mission at this time.  The whole spirit of the mission has changed since we heard from Elder Ballard. I wrote down a lot of impressions I had while listening to Elder Ballard, and I look at them often.This week I learned something interesting about England, it rains when it is sunny out. The other day, we were walking to go visit a Less Active. The sun was shinning and there was only 3 small clouds in the sky, then all the sudden it just started raining, and after about 5 min. my companion and I were soaked!!

This week we prayed that a Less Active member would come to church on Sunday. We have about 80 Less Active members in our ward and we are trying to visit them throughout the week. This week we met a Less Active her named Sister Burgess. She is 86 years old and hasn't been to church for about 50 years. We have a member of our ward that visits her once a month and always invites her to come to church, but she never does. When we saw her, we shared a quick message and invited her to church, she accepted and the member was able to pick her up.  She came to church and loved it!  We are also teaching 2 guys from Ghana, they are both strong members of their church, but like learning about what we have to say. There are many experiences that I have had on my mission that strengthen my testimony of prayer. I know that if you pray for something specific and pray with sincerity, faith and real intent, the Lord will always answer your prayers. I love the people in England. Its great to be working here and seeing how the Lord always has his hand in the work.
