| Text telling them to get to London so see M Russel Ballard |
Things were so good this last
week. It just flew right on by!! so many things are happening in
waterlooville. But the reason that i didn't email is because on saturday
night we got a call from our district leader saying that we might have a
conference on monday in london at the hyde park chapel. but we won't
know until monday for sure if we do. also we weren't supposed to tell
anyone. we would get our travel plans on sunday night and then a call on
monday at 10!! sister morgan and i were dying we were like what in the
heck could this be!! it was really weird and then we thought that it was
all a joke. but sure enough on monday we got a text that said it was
all a go!! so basically we all traveled to london and guess who spoke to
us there? m. russel ballard!! it was so amazing!! our whole mission
wasn't able to go because some were too far away! but i am so grateful
that i got to go. Oh man it was so good!! He truly is an apostle of
the Lord. Oh my goodness!! it was way cool also because the london
mission had a conference right before we did and sister harun got to see
her twin!! oh my heavens it was so emotional!! the look on their faces
was so great! they were so excited to see eachother. they got to say
hello but only a couple minutes! it was such an amazing experience to be
a part of. He talked about the restoration and the events that lead up
to Joseph Smith. It was so simple but so powerful.. It confirmed my
testimony of Joseph Smith and the Restored Gospel and motivated me even
more to go out and share it with others. I have had this fire burning in
me since i came to waterlooville and everything that is happening is
just flaming the fire. I love this gospel. I have never been happier in
my life. It's hard and i miss home but the joy that i feel when i just
do the Lord's work brings feelings that you have never felt before.
Anyone can experience this in their own way and in their own mission
that Heavenly Father has for them but for me it was to come on a mission
and find myself and find my testimony. seriously i have never felt this
strongly about the Gospel and it's truthfulness and it has all come
because of having the opportunity to serve and to study the scriptures
every single day. i never want to miss a day again because i just want
to keep building on what i am building here. Life is so great!! God
is great! and i love everything about life.. even the bad because i can
finally see how it has helped me learn and grow so much! cherish every
second of every day!! i am trying to do that because we will never get
today again!! i love you so much!! i hope you know how much i look up to
you and how much i appreciate you!!! you are amazing!!
love syd
