Transfer 3 begins

It's transfers week!! ... Wait back up. Again? My second transfer is

already over! Although it seems like it came and went in a blink of an

eye I've absolutely loved the first 3 months of my mission! :) I

wouldn't trade any of the experiences I've had, along with the people

I've met, or the things I've learned for anything. I've loved serving

in the Hyde Park 1st ward. The people in and outside of the church are

AMAZING!

Sooo... Transfer news... Drum roll please..

I'll be staying in Hyde Park 1st ward and I still get to be companions

with Sister Apiyo- good thing too, because I love that Ugandan girl!

:) There are changes in our district however. Sister Griffeth

(remember her from the MTC) will be coming to Hyde Park 2nd ward so this also means

she will be living in our flat! :) This means out of the sisters in

our district Sister Griffeth and I have only been here for 2

transfers, Sister Kerr for 1 transfer, and sister Apiyo for 5. We are

all SO YOUNG in the world of mission work!! Plus Elder Jensen who got

here when I did will be our new district leader and will also be

training. We're all gonna have to work really hard, and we're all

going to learn a ton this transfer. I'm SUPER excited though!! I have

a really good feeling that many many Miracles will happen in these

next few weeks.

This week to be blunt and very truthful was exhausting.. It was the

last week of the transfer so Sister Apiyo and I worked really hard. But,

although we came home every night absolutely pooped we saw some mighty

miracles from our efforts. Here's a few highlights of the week

1. We found this guy on the bus at the beginning of the week who was

really interested about learning more about Jesus Christ. He told us

he had heard a lot about Him, but didn't really know why He was

important. The next day we invited him to come to the Visitors Center

and we were able to give him a quick tour before he went to work. He

seemed really excited in his broken English. He told us that at work

he was talking to one of his co workers about it and guess what...his

co worker is a MEMBER! :) What?! He proceeded to tell us that his co

worker told him all about the church and how it really was Jesus

Christ's church on the earth today! Truth. He also has a whole family

willing to learn. :) We'll be seeing them again this next week!! You

could say I'm a bit excited.

2. Sister Apiyo and I got hopelessly and completely lost but in the

process we also found 2 other families to teach! :) But we have to

refer them to a different ward.. The beautiful thing about this gospel

is that families are central to Gods plan! They are meant to be

eternal and forever. :) I realized this again and again this week in

full force.

3. Paul Cardall came and gave a devotional at the Visitors Center.

He's Elder & Sister Cardall's son and also a famous piano player. If

you haven't heard of him go look up his song from the movie Ephraims

Rescue! Nothing brings the Spirit more than music I always say, and

Paul's testimony was so powerful!

4. Summer is officially over in London. Either that or the sun is on

vacation too! The 3 umbrellas, boots, and bright yellow rain jacket

have come out of the suitcases. ;)

Sorry this email is shorter... I'm writing this on the tube and I type

sooo slowly on this iPad. More next week. Promise! :) I love and pray

for you all more than you know!

Sister Rebekah Croft

 Goodbye old district... :( I'll miss these amazing missionaries!

Rebekah tried to send some pictures last week that never came through so she resent them this week:

We found the Dr. Who phone box in Earl's Court! :)
Sister Phillips: England, Sister Croft: America, Sister Apiyo: Uganda, Sister Lung: Hong Kong, Sister Dabrowska: Poland.

At the Victorian & Albert Museum The Book of Mormon is a luxury.

Sometimes the Filipinos in our ward give us some strange food...  We love it though! :)
