This Place!!

Oh how grateful I am to be in Chichester!  It is the best!! I guess you can't pick a favorite area, but I sure do love this one too! First off, the members are fantastic!! They are hilarious!!  We went to branch council yesterday and I was in stitches because of the fun they were all having together and the great relationship they all had with each other. It just made me that much grateful for the organization of the Church and the people in it.

This week we met with a new investigator named Everisto!! He is a great guy from Zambia,  We really love and admire his love for Jesus Christ and his desire to draw close and follow him. We will hopefully be seeing him later today.

Probably one of my favorite parts of the week was yesterday after church.  We got on a bus to Selsey (a little town just south of Chichester on the coast) to meet a few people there and explore the area.  We sat behind this brilliant lady named Sylvia.  She was so sweet and had a lot of faith.  We were able to just simply tell her about the Restoration.  She really took what we told her to heart.  We showed her the Book of Mormon and she was so happy to have.  She said, "It just feels like a good book," as she held it in her hands.  It was a great experience. I knew she felt the Spirit and she agreed to pray with us after the bus ride and even got a little emotional. :') I was so grateful to be able to meet her and help be an answer to her prayers.  She said "It wasn't a coincidence that I met you today." I had to agree and I'm starting to realize more and more that there are no such things as coincidences. Heavenly Father places us where we need to be and I'm grateful for the Spirit he allows to accompany us.  I love this work and I'm grateful to be doing it here amongst so many great people.

Scripture of the week: "Behold, I would exhort you that when ye shall read these things, if it be wisdom in God that ye should read them, that ye would remember how merciful the Lord hath been unto the children of men, from the creation of Adam even down until the time that ye shall receive these things, and ponder it in your hearts. And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things." RECIPE FOR REVELATION! -Moroni 10:3-5
