Finding John the Beloved, and Faith Filled Miracles

"Hey, y'alright?"

This is the typical greeting for people here in London. Sometimes you get a "Good mornin' love" or a "Cheerio" from a posh old man, but usually it's "Y'alright?" I was super confused when I first got here, but now it's just normal. Sister Yau still doesn't like it.. but she'll get used to it soon enough. ;) haha

Family and friends! :) I hope that you had a wonderful week! My week was spectacular, and filled to the brim with miracles, and ups and downs. I'll share some of the best moments. 

On Tuesday, we were determined to find new friends to teach after having such rubbish finding experiences the week before. We both had faith that we could find 2 people that God had specifically prepared for us that day in the next hour, and so we prayed, grabbed our secret weapon (aka the Book of Mormon), and left the flat. We walked down the road, and the first person we saw was dancing to music with his headphones in. We stopped him, asking what kind of music he was listening to, and then we had a really good conversation with him! S-------- actually turned out to be an actor who had just gotten back from filming a movie where he played John the Beloved in all the scenes of Christ's life! He told us that he'd never believed in Christ before, but that after being in this movie he'd like to know for himself who Jesus really was, and if all that He did was real or not. Now, if that's not prepared I don't know what is! It was really incredible! :) We went finding for the next hour or so, and found a few potential investigators, but no one solid.. as we were walking back we stopped one last person named W------. He wanted to learn more as well, and so we'll be seeing him next week! He's from Jamaica, and "loves Jesus with ALL his heart." Should be a good lesson! Both experiences, the first person we stopped and the last person we stopped, strengthened my faith so much of how the Lord is aware of this work and aware of us. With faith miracles are possible!!

L-- X--- is doing well. He's been living the word of wisdom for 4 days now, which is a real improvement! We had a wonderful lesson with him on Wednesday where he shared a talk he had read the night before. We downloaded the gospel library app for him, and he's just been reading everything! One talk "Beware of Pride" really got to him. He told us that he's really starting to understand how important God is, and that he's looking forward to receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. Please pray for him though! He still has a few more hurdles to get through before his baptism. 

Something sad that happened this week is that J--- (one of our recent converts) moved back to China. She is incredible, and we will all miss her tons! On Monday President Riccardi (former Elder Riccardi from Italy) and his wife invited us and the Elders, plus all our recent converts to an FHE at their house. It was so much fun! I'm still in shock that Elder Riccardi is in our ward! For those of you who don't know him, there was a famous missionary letter written about Elder Riccardi years back. It's been spread around most missions I believe and so now he's basically a celebrity among missionaries! :) It was a cool day when I put 2 and 2 together. 

Well, although I could share a lot more I don't have much more time.. Until next week I love and miss you all! Have a great 7 days, and see lots of miracles with your faith in Christ. It's not only missionaries who can find the Lord's elect. You can too! 

Much love,

Sister Rebekah Croft

Moroni 7:37 "..For it is by faith that miracles are wrought."

Families are Forever

Woah. And there goes another 7 days! What a week. :) 

I don't have much time to email, but I included lots of pictures so hopefully that makes up for it.. before I even start, I apologize for my sub-par email though. It will be better next week. Promise! 

As for how Sister Yau and I are doing here in the Lord's service, we are doing fantastic! People were a little more irritable this week than usual, but it wouldn't be the same if it were always easy. I've learned that finding God's prepared children is pretty difficult sometimes.. but we are excited to be going finding a lot next week! I feel so full of faith that there are people in our area that are ready for the restored gospel. Now we just need to find them! 

I've been thinking a lot about families recently, and how because of the temple, and because God loves us so much we can be with our families for not only this life, but also the next! What a unique, and absolutely beautiful thing! I had the chance to share this with someone on the streets of London this week. She was in town to buy shoes for her wedding, and as we explained God's plan for the family she couldn't help but get emotional. She told us that although she'd never heard of it before, she would like that more than anything else in the world. She'll be going to church in Oxford in the next few weeks! I couldn't be more thankful for the things that I know, and for a loving Father in Heaven who wants us all to live with Him again. 

 Sister Furhiman (Wisconsin), Sister Apiyo (Uganda), me (Utah), Sister Yau (Hong Kong)

Some of the sisters wanted to have another photo shoot behind the chapel. Elder Neeley kindly obliged. He's the best! :)

"I solemly swear I am up to no good..." 

I was SO excited when we turned a corner in London and saw this!!!! 

 Korean food in a hot stone bowl. Yumm! Sister Yau takes sneaky pictures while I'm eating... :P

We've been reading the Book of Mormon with L-- X--- every single night over wechat video. Wechat is kind of like facebook for asians.. at least that's what I'm told. haha This night S---- joined us! :) It's funny because as we're taking turns reading, they all read in Chinese, and then when it comes to my turn I read in English. Good thing the Book of Mormon is true in all languages! ;) L-- X--- is doing well though! He's working through some challenges so that he can be baptised in early September. Please pray for him. He is great! 

Thank you for everything you do for me, loved ones! I couldn't ask for a better support team. Have a spectacular week, and good luck with the first week of school! 

Much Love, 

Sister Rebekah Croft

"Walk in the Light"

Happy Monday! :) Hope you've all had a spectacular week. It's been a good one here in London! 

Before I start, can I just say how much I love being a missionary? And also how blessed I feel to be serving here in this beautiful city? I stand in awe every single day of how incredible this place is, how diverse the people are, and how true this gospel is! Put all of that together and I'm just humbled. God must love us a lot to give us opportunities, places, and people like this all around the world! Sheesh! I'm just so grateful for what I get to experience here in England. 

Ok, sorry... I ramble too much. It's a problem.. haha

To get back on track I'll tell you about a tour Sister Yau and I gave on Tuesday. It was in the morning, and we were the only ones on the floor of the visitors center. We were already giving a tour to a Chinese family (I'm tellin ya, Heavenly Father knows that Sister Yau is here), but from the back of the visitors center we saw another women walk in. I went to greet her and as I gave her a tour she told me a bit about her back story. She was also Christian, and was a "missionary" in her own kind of way. We had such a good conversation in the chapel, and then I took her to watch Because of Him in the cinema. For those of you who haven't ever seen this video it ends with just two simple words "Find Him." There are a lot of ways we can "find Christ" in our lives- prayer, service, sacrifice, loving others, acting in faith, and a bajillion others I could name... but as I explained how I had really gained a relationship with Christ as I read the Book of Mormon she was intrigued. We talked for a good 30 minutes about the restoration of the gospel, and about what the Book of Mormon was. By the end she just looked at me with a smile on her face and said "I'd love to read that book. I can see the spirit of Christ in your eyes, and you make me believe this, because you believe it." It was such a tender moment, where I realized once again just how important these things are to me! :)  I DO believe them! 

Also on Tuesday we had an exchange with the STL's. I was with Sister Fitts from Las Vegas! She's great, and I learned a lot! You always do when you go on exchanges. We talked with everyone, and for some reason we talked the strangest people.. but hey, they are still children of God! 

A bummer of the week is that I got a fever... :( Sickness is the worst as a missionary, because you feel like you should be doing something, but sometimes you just can't. It's something going around, because I swear everyone in our Zone has been sick recently! 

Flat mates! :) Sister Yau, me, Sister Fuhriman, and Sister Apiyo.

Sister Yau found the Chinese section at the grocery store and and so we've been eating all sorts of things that she loves from home. This was SOO spicy!! 

Some professional graffiti near to where we live.

We've gotten really good at the photo timer.. ;)

We went finding in Hammersmith and found a 24 hour mega screen showing the Olympics! Go America, and Great Britian!!! Woop wooop!

To end on the spiritual side of things, here's a scripture that's been on my mind this week:

"Behold all ye that kindle fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks, walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks which ye have kindled..." As we walk in the light, and not any light, but the light of Christ, we can help others find the light. You never know where those sparks are going to go, but as we live the gospel some of those sparks might kindle and become a mighty flame! So, make sure you are walking in the light this week. Don't forget that you are an "example of the believers." :)

Love you all! Have a great, great week!

Love, Sister Croft

Precious moments large and small

Good morning everyone!! What a week. :)

The 1st week of August just flew by didn't it? I'm always amazed when I'm sitting here writing to you all again, and it seems like just yesterday when I wrote you last. Time is a weird thing. A wonderful thing, but definitely weird...

This week was full to the brim of precious moments large and small. But because this email would be way too long if I shared them all I'll just share some of the best moments, and experiences. 

On Friday morning we had zone training meeting. Before hand the zone leaders warned us all that although it was going to be an incredible meeting, it would also be a long meeting. They were right! It was both long, and incredible! The England London Mission is one of 15 missions all around the world to pilot a new way of using technology to teach the gospel. Although I don't completely understand it all yet, I'm so excited to start! It should be pretty amazing. :) To end the training we watched a video with snippets of apostles, and prophets of the past and present talking about how amazing of a tool technology is for us today to share the gospel of Christ. I get chills even thinking about it again. It was powerful! I've already seen what a difference technology can make to hasten the work of the Lord. He is definitely in charge!

Also on Friday we taught our investigator L-- X---. He had a really rough week, and so when he came he had a lot on his mind. He was talking about all the different things that were stressing him out, and how hard it was to focus on something when there were so many other problems in his life. As we were listening to him an image popped into my mind of Christ calming the storm. We showed him the video, and these words stood out. "Peace be still." This story really can apply to us today! We are living in the most violent, and intense storm ever- the world. When we look to Christ, and have faith in Him we can have peace. The storm around us may not instantly calm, but as we have faith in Him we will always be safe and protected from the storms of life. 

On Thursday we found a new friend to teach! His name is O-- and he has brilliant questions. As we taught him on Saturday he was asking some of the exact same questions as Joseph Smith did as he was searching for truth. It was so cool! They are actually questions that a lot of people have today. "Why are there so many different Christian churches? Which doctrine from the Bible is correct?". God gave Joseph the answer, and I know it today! :)  

I hope that you all have a wonderful week family and friends! Enjoy the summer, smile, and share your testimony on facebook. Yes, that's a challenge! ;) If you do it, email me and let me know how it goes. The Lord really has given us the most amazing tools to share the gospel, we just need to use them. 

Much love,

Sister Rebekah Croft

------------------

I got another email a few hours after the first. The subject line was all in caps. And then just a short message and picture. haha! Can you tell she is a huge Harry Potter fan? She's dying to read this book. :)

I SAW THIS AT ESTELLA'S HOUSE!!!

Temptation is real.

The Hand of the Lord

Hi sweet family and friends! 你好嗎? 

How has your week been? Mine has been absolutely exhausting on every level, but also absolutely amazing. It seems like those two things always end up going together as a missionary. This week has been jam packed with emotion, but also miracles. First, on Tuesday night I sent Sister Wai, and Sister Mussman home to California... it's weird to have companions finish their missions... I miss them loads! Wednesday morning however, I went to the chapel for the trainers meeting and to meet my new companion. My trainee's name is Sister Yau, and she's from Hong Kong! She's probably the most hilarious, and adorable asian I've ever met. She always calls me "Mom", and I call her my "little Chinese daughter" (Missionary lingo). We laugh a lot, and it's been an adventure every single day. Training is definitely tiring, but it's also such a joy. I'm excited to see what the next 6 weeks hold for Sister Yau and I. I've also decided that perhaps God is trying to send me a sign that I need to learn Chinese. This is my fourth transfer with a companion who can speak Mandarin, and we keep finding the most prepared Chinese people! Sister Yau has been teaching me a phrase every single day, so I'll be fluent in no time. ;) 

I've been thinking a lot about the Lords hand in my life this week. Obviously I know that God touches my life, but I've been trying to be more aware of how He is involved in every day, and every single moment. Because He is! As I've sat down at the close of each night and pondered how I've seen the hand of the Lord that day I've realized that He is so much more involved in our lives than we often see. He is in every detail! :) So tonight before you go to bed take a moment to think what God has done for you today. It might be very small, it might be large but I promise you that you'll always be able to find something!  

At the top of the Monument* last P-Day with Sister Fuhriman, and Wei Wei. Our calves were on fire by the time we got to the top! There are a total of 311 stairs, but it was all worth it for the view at the top. :)

All of the trainers, and the greenies! Sister Yau and I are on the far left next to Sister Griffeth, and Sister Teng the other visitors centre sisters. 

We make delicious salads!! Yumm yum.

I hope that you all have a great, great, great week everyone! Make good decisions, enjoy this beautiful summer, and see the wonders as God's hand touches your life. I love you all! :)

我愛你 Love, Sister Croft

------------------------

*I had to look up what The Monument was in London....

The Monument, designed by Sir Christopher Wren to commemorate the Great Fire of London has been welcoming visitors for over 300 years. Today you can climb 311 steps to the top of the historic landmark (built in 1677) to take in spectacular views of London.

"Craziness" and the Restoration

Hello family and friends! I hope that you've all had a beautiful week! :) My week has been absolutely crazy, but a good crazy. I actually have close to no time to email today because of how crazy transfers are... I'm telling ya, "crazy" is the word of the week. ;) To make up for it though I'm going to send tons of pictures from all of the adventures we've had this week. Enjoy!

Sister Wai will be going home today, and you could say I'm pretty heartbroken! :( From being companions together in Britannia Ward, to being together again for another 2 transfers in HP1 we've grown really close! I'm going to miss her adorable laugh, her amazing hugs, her powerful testimony, her ham-fried rice, singing with her on the streets, and embarrassing her with my terrible Mandarin language skills! I LOVE her SO much and I'll miss her tons!! Sister Lung from Hong Kong, and Sister Mussman my companion in Canterbury will also be headed home today... man I hate goodbyes, and I love these Sisters! We'll be family forever. 

I've learned however, that although change hurts, it's the way life is, and also it's the way that we grow. :) God never intended us to stay the same, but to become who He wants us to become! I think that this transfer will bring a lot of growth because.... drum roll please...

I'll be TRAINING!!! I'm going to be training one of the new sisters coming into the visitors centre this next transfer! :) Or in missionary lingo language- I'm going to be a mother!! So that means I'm expecting. haha. I'm really excited to see what tomorrow brings. I'll either be training a Malaysian sister or a sister from Hong Kong! I'll let you know next week!

The Hyde Park District as of 26/7/16! An Albanian, a Brazilian, a couple of Asians, and some Americans.  Wow, I love these people a lot! :) We've seen some pretty incredible miracles this transfer! 

E------ came to church this Sunday! We taught her on Thursday morning and watched The Restoration together. After the movie ended we sat in silence for a few moments, and the Spirit was so powerful. I turned to her, and without expecting to I started to cry as I told her how much Joseph Smith's experience meant to me, and how I came to know it was true. I'm always amazed at how powerful the restoration is! :)

Some of the members in Hyde Park 1st ward. They are so amazing!

"District exercise" in the morning! Badminton, and 100 pushups. At least some of the district did the full 100... If you were wondering, it wasn't me. ;)   

At M&M world last P-Day! That place is massive, and everything smells like chocolate!

Well everyone! I'm sorry this email is scattered, and probably doesn't make a lot of sense.. but if you got anything out of it just know that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored! Because really at the end of the day that's what matters! :) God is real, he loves us, and the gospel is true! Love you all. Have a wonderful, beautiful week!

Love, Sister Croft

Following the Master and Double Decker Bus Miracles

Cheerio everyone! I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful summer, and that you've all had a fantastic week. :) This has been a whirlwind of a week for me just like it usually is. Ups, downs, and the in-between! Sister Wai and I have experienced it all.

I've also come to the terms that whatever I do I'll never be about to adequately describe the experiences that I have here as a missionary over email.. but that doesn't keep me from trying!

On Tuesday we had interviews with President and Sister Stevens! Ah, I love interviews. Although there were so many flecks of gold in the different trainings, one thing stood out to me more than the rest. It was a quote by Elder Bednar that said "As we choose to follow the master, we choose to change." It's actually something I've been thinking a lot about recently, and so when I heard the quote it struck me. Isn't it so true that as we make the active decision to be better every single day we do change? As we strive to follow the Savior, and "become perfected in Him," we become the person that our Heavenly Father always intended us to be. Our true identity, and real potential! It definitely doesn't mean that it is easy, quite opposite in fact, but it does mean that we are coming closer to Christ as we change for the better! 

On Thursday we went over to teach our good friend E------, and she actually invited a friend to come to the lesson! What?! It was such a cool experience to teach both of them, and actually have E------ help explain some things. Oh my, they are both so full of faith! We just need to help them get to church now. ;) 

Another miracle that may seem small, but amazed me for days happened on Friday. Sister Wai and I were running late for a dinner appointment, and so we were sprinting to the bus stop. Let me tell you... running in a skirt is still not easy! Anyways, as we were running past Royal Albert Hall I realized that both Sister Wai and I didn't have any money left on our oyster cards*. We had run out the day before and had forgotten to put more money on that morning. We stopped for a minute trying to figure out what we were going to do, and then we saw our bus coming down the road. We both looked at each other and sprinted towards the bus stop, the bus passing us in the process. I think we were both praying mightily that somehow we were going to be able to catch this bus and make it to our appointment. And then as we stepped onto the bus a miracle happened! The light next to the place where you you put your oyster card turned red, and it stopped working. The worker looked down annoyed, and just motioned us to go and sit down without using our cards. Then as we sat down the light turned green again and another passenger rushed up to get inside the bus. It worked just fine. haha! Oh my goodness! If that wasn't God then I don't know what was. It was a huge tender mercy. :) I love the small miracles in each day! It shows me how aware our Heavenly Father is of the tiniest details in our lives. He sure loves us a lot! 

On Sunday we actually had a special visitor in the Hyde Park 1st ward. Sister Marriott from the General Young Women's Presidency! She is just about the cutest, most spiritual southern woman I have ever met. Just a really Christlike person in everything that she does! Well, Sister Wai and I actually ended up going to the young women's class with one of our investigators and recent converts and so we got to be with all the young women, Sister Marriott, and Sister Stevens**. Can I just say what an incredible hour that was? Woah! Not to mention that it was all about baptism, and afterwards our investigator M--- asked some really golden questions. She'll be headed back to Germany where she's from this week, but hopefully she'll always remember that Sunday. We will continue to teach her over Skype and will be getting her in touch with the missionaries in Germany.

Although I could share a million more stories, and thoughts with you all.. sadly I don't have anymore time. Remember this though, God is a God of miracles, following the Master is always the right path, and ice cream is truly delicious on a super hot/humid day. The 3 truths of life. Ok maybe, just 2.. but the third is almost 100% true too!

Have a lovely week all! :)

Love, Sister Rebekah Croft

*Oyster Cards are the transit cards that allows them access to the buses and the tube.

**Sister Jean A. Stevens, the wife of Rebekah's mission president, used to be the 2nd counselor in the General Primary Presidency. She was released so she could come serve in the England London Mission.

One of the fun trainings in district meeting this week!Thanks Patricia for the mustaches! 👌🏼 You are the best! :)

 P----- is the sweetest and she cooks the most delicious Filipino food!

 I'm going to miss this one when she leaves next week. Sister Wai is incredible! :)

We went to the M&M store.

Scattered thoughts on a sunny day

Guess what? The city of London is currently full of sunshine! And not

only that, but it's been sunny basically this whole week. Wow. I love

the sun! People are so much happier, and willing to talk about the

gospel when it's not pouring buckets from the sky. Who would have

known? ;)

Well, hello everyone! I hope that you've all had a wonderful first

full week of July, and that you're enjoying the sun where ever you may

be. For me this week has absoultely flown by, and I wish I could tell

you about it all in detail, but sadly I don't have much time this

week...

Just a few stories and thoughts of the week:

1. On Friday we had zone meeting! The trainings were good, and I

learned a lot like I always do, but the best/worst part of the meeting

was hearing the testimonies of the departing missionaries. Sister Wai,

and two other missionaries that I'm close to are all leaving in 2

weeks! :( It's pretty depressing, but I've been told that life does go

on after the mission. As they individually stood up and bore their

testimonies of Christ and His gospel the spirit was almost tangible! It's

an incredible thing to hear the thoughts of those who have been

serving the Lord for a solid 18-24 months. One thing is for sure though,

I'll miss Sister Wai a lot when she goes! We've been companions for a

long time and I love her!

2. On Tuesday we helped M-- & S-- (some members of Hyde Park 1st ward) move flats, and I got a posh brand new bed out of it! It's a memory foam mattress, so it's like laying on a cloud. :) Sometimes the blessings of doing service come quicker then you think! 

3. Just an update on investigators. They are doing well! I love these people a lot, more than they'll probably ever know. We made a deal with one of our new investigators I---- that if she came to our church Sunday morning that we would go to one of her church services Sunday afternoon. I've never been to something like it! It was like a Christian Rock band concert, free food and all. The music was actually pretty good, and I learned more about Phillipians 4 from the Bible, but the whole time I felt like something was missing... and then it hit me smack in the face! It was the spirit! I could still feel it to a degree, but it was so much less than that morning during the sacrament meeting. I'm so thankful for the "still, small, voice" in my life! The Holy Ghost really is one of God's greatest gifts to us here on earth. :) 

Sorry this email is so scattered and short, but just know this. The gospel is true! Jesus Christ's atonement works! God is real, and the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I love being a missionary and being a part of this amazing work!! Love you all family and friends! Have a beautiful week! Bye!

Much love, 

Sister Rebekah Croft

Pineapple, Butterflies and Independence Day

"The British are coming! The British are coming!"

Happy July 4th everyone!! I hope that you're all enjoying the fireworks, parades, watermelon, sunshine, and all things American! Here in England they don't celebrate Independence Day... big shocker! ;) But we're still planning on celebrating anyway. Elder and Sister Mullen have invited us over for a BBQ in their back garden, and basically all of the missionaries are wearing red, white, and blue. Even Sister Apiyo from Uganda, Sister Lung from Hong Kong, and some of the Elders from various places. It just makes me laugh! 

Sisters Apiyo, Croft, Griffeth, Fuhriman, Lung, Hannig, Wai and Von

"We had a mini revolutionary war today with Harriet as Great Britain and me as the United States. Contention rises between the colonies and England...so many taxes!! Revolutionary war fist fight! I declared independence and everything, don't worry. 😉 But really I love Harriet too much to be separated from her. Haha."

Well, it sure has been a long time since I've written all of you. A whole 10 days that is. It's been a really long week, but also a week chuck full of miracles, and eye opening experiences.

On Thursday we had a Mission Tour from Elder Patrick Kearon of the Quorum of the 70!! Wow, this was such a powerful day! I can't even begin to describe the feelings, and thoughts that I had during this conference. If any of you don't know who he is, Elder Kearon is the President of the Europe Area, and he spoke last general conference and gave the talk all about refugees called "Refuge from the Storm." (If you didn't get a change to listen to it, definitely do!) The thing that really got to me however, is that he was first stopped by the missionaries {and introduced to the gospel} right outside the Hyde Park Chapel doors, and then taught by the sister missionaries in the very chapel that I'm in every single day! It never ceases to amaze me how much history this place has. Wow! 

Although I'm pretty sure I could go on and on about the things I learned from him, I'll just share one thought. Recently I've been thinking a lot about the song/phrase "I am a Child of God" and what it means to me. I've grown up hearing these words, but while I've been here in England I've met so many people who don't know this. Well, Elder Kearon is super in tune with the spirit because in the middle of his training he just stopped mid sentence and looked into the audience. I felt like he was looking directly at me! And then he said something along the lines of this "... the knowledge that we are all children of God is something quite astounding! This knowledge changes everything. Has it just become something we say, rather than something we feel?" Oh my goodness! As he said this I was just hit with the most powerful feeling of love and happiness. It just washed over me, and in that moment I knew without a doubt that I was a daughter of a loving Heavenly Father. I still do! :)

 Other then that Sister Wai and I did a whole lot of finding this week. In our escapades we talked with people from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures, we were given a free pineapple, and found some prepared people to hear the gospel. While OYMing (open your mouth), we have the most hilarious, and also the most spiritual experiences! 

Sorry this email is pretty short... I always feel like I sit down to write these and I forget everything that happened in my week. All I have to say is that this gospel is true! It really is, and it brings so much joy! :) Happy Independence Day again everyone! 

I love you all, and couldn't be more grateful for everything you do for me! Have a fantastic 7 days!

Love, Sister Croft    

 Dinner at the I-----'s house with M---- and L------, our recent converts! :)

We saved a butterfly off the Christus Statue! It was so pretty, and we think it escaped from the butterfly exhibit at the Natural History Museum. :)

My good friend Patricia sent Mac and Cheese in the mail and it save us when we didn't have any food left on Sunday!! :) Thanks Patti!
