Dear Family,

Highlights: Baptisms-Got defecated on by a Bird- Ward Christmas Party-So many people to talk to!

This week has been pretty busy. We have some solid investigators! They are all great! There were a couple baptisms this week, so we need to make a massive effort on finding new people to teach. Although Hyde Park is tourist central, we run into many locals. Some are hardhearted! but there are also many who are willing to listen. I love it. I cannot wait to get appointments with the potentials we found this week.

The ward Christmas party was on Saturday and it was so much fun. Everyone was having a great time and all the missionaries in the ward did a little musical number. It was pretty funny. The members in Hyde Park are really supportive and they love having us over. I have gotten to know many of them and they are just so strong in the gospel.

Can you send me pictures of when we got sealed in the temple and just some other family pictures because there is a part member family that we want to try and get familiar with.Oh yea, they are both Filipino and she speaks Ilocano! The wife of the member is a little hesitant to have missionaries over because the old ones who taught her were a little too pushy, but we were able to talk to her and her husband this past week and we were able to get an appointment with them at the end of the month. My Ilocano was a little sketchy, but it was good enough. Church is true. Rely on the spirit and everything will be fine.

Time is up. These are pictures of families in Enfield! They are the best.

Love,

Dear Family,

Hyde Park is very hectic. The tubes are crazy. This morning, as we were heading into the office, I was leaning on my companion because we could barely fit. I love peak times.

Right now the teaching is going great. We have super solid investigators who are right on track. Last night we also had a dinner appointment with the Zamoras. They are Filipino. The Hyde Park ward probably has the biggest group of Filipino LDS in the country. The first day I got here, we were able to find a couple of Filipino potentials!

Since we also have a couple of ysa investigators, we also go to Britannia! I think that it is the only singles ward in England!? It is massive and the members are outstanding. Many of them are RM's and they have great words of wisdom. I know that through diligence and hard work, miracle WILL take place here in the area. I love what it says in PMG. Its something like, " The secret to missionary work is work....." and then it keeps on going. The work is fun, and I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ as found in the Bible as well as The Book of Mormon are true. I have to go.

Zone conference: Extraordinary missionaries are those who are perfect in the simple/basic things, rather than being involved in complex teachings.
