6 Sisters at 7 Sisters

So last Monday we went to 7 Sisters!! (: it was amazing! Even though we went down the wrong trail so we only saw one sister i still thought it was cool! It was so beautiful and the ocean was gorgeous. England is just a beauty in itself really. This week has really made see how amazingly blessed we are to live in such a beautiful world. i absolutely love it. maybe it's just because i'm in england but who's to say!

We had two investigators come to church yesterday so it was really good! It was Rex's first time going and he loved it! The members that brought him are his next door neighbors and we got a text from them today saying that as soon as he got home he dumped out all of his alcohol and asked to be baptized. so amazing! It was fast and testimony meeting and that always kinda scares me when there are new people because sometimes you just never know what people are going to get up and say. haha. but it was so good!

We were knocking by our other investigator's house, Louise, and we actually found someone that is interested! It was her next door neighbor, Jo! and the last house we decided to knock. haha. at first she said she wasn't interested at all but i felt differently. we asked her what she believed and that question always seems to stick people here because they aren't really sure. so i asked her some questions about where she though she was before this life and if she wanted to be with her family after this life. all she knew is that she would want to be with them in the next life but would rather not think about it. I then bore my testimony about how much the gospel has blessed my life. the spirit was so strong and you could see a complete change in her from the minute we knocked on her door to the end of my testimony. We prayed with her and we are going to see her tonight! the church is true!

We tried going to a guy's house to see how he was doing and check to see if he had read any of the Book of Mormon. We even made him cookies because he is recovering from i don't even know what. So we showed up... for like the 4th time and he said it was a bad time and didn't even take the cookies! who doesn't like cookies?! seriously. BUT we got online this morning and he referred his email to us!! yayyy!!! so now we can teach him online. (: all is not lost. haha.

I've been thinking a lot about Trenton this month and it's only pushed me more to tell everyone i can about the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that this gospel is true with all of my heart and am so glad that i am here to tell everyone i see about it. i'm grateful to know that we can live with our families together forever because of the power of the priesthood performed in the Temple. I love you all and can't wait to hear from you next week!
