Happy Monday everyone! :) How are you all?
Sister Zeng and I witnessed so many amazing miracles these last 4 days. And when I say miracles I really do mean them. God is a God of miracles after all. Speaking of Sister Zeng, she is incredible! We were talking the other day, and technically I've been a missionary long enough that I could have taught her, she could have been baptized and then she could have come out on her mission a year later... Crazy, crazy. She's absolutely adorable though, and hilarious as well! I love her!!
The biggest miracle we've seen together so far is M---. M--- walked into the visitors centre on Wednesday evening and was given a tour by some of the other sisters first, and then handed over to us because he was in our area. Well, oh my goodness he is one of the Lords elect! We talked to him for a good 2 hours that night, and at the very end of our conversation he accepted the invitation to be baptised! Apparently, earlier that day he'd had the feeling he needed to come into the VC but he was rushing somewhere. On the way home later that day he told us he couldn't even stop himself from coming in. It was like an invisible force was walking him right through the doors! We've taught him two times since then and I continue to be amazed at how prepared he is to hear the gospel. He asks questions like "Oh, so you mean Joseph Smith restored the gospel back to the earth?" without us even mentioning the word restoration. Or "Right, so faith is like believing something true without seeing it." My personal favorite was this though, "Everyone says that eternal life is just living forever, but really it is living the way God lives, that's what He would want for us!" He is incredible! I'll keep you all updated.
Another tender mercy happened last Tuesday. We were sightseeing on our P-Day and on the way to Buckingham Palace we met Elder Cook in the underground. Yes, Elder Cook of the 12 apostles!! He looked just as surprised to see 6 missionaries as we did seeing an apostle of the Lord riding the tube. He's such a humble man, but he also carries a mantle of an apostle! :) It's apparent every time you shake his hand.
Friends and family, I know this email is shortish... but hopefully the pictures make up for it. I just want you all to know that I know this gospel is real. It changes lives, and it's changing mine every single day! The Saviour lives, God loves us, and we have the words of Christ to read from and learn from through scriptures like the Bible and the Book of Mormon. I love this church, and I love the teachings of Christ. I also love you all!
