Dear Family,
Thanks for the letters, I will do my best to reply.
One of the coolest things about working in Hyde Park is being around the Assistants to the President. Right now, they are Elder Jacob, and Elder Sikahema.They help me understand how I can improve as a missionary and become a better person. Over the past couple of days, Elder Zarian and I have been doing something I like to call AP OYMing(open your mouth). The Assistants are always in the office, but when they have time to find, they split up and stand on the two corners in front of the church.
Over the past couple of weeks my companion and I have utilized this method and we have seen many amazing results. Although we are a couple of feet apart and not together, we are comfortable because of our knowledge about the gospel, which is growing stronger after each passing day, and the faith that we have to find those who are prepared.
A couple of days ago, I stopped a man who asked me what I was doing and why I was out in the cold standing on the corner. I told him who I was and my purpose and he told me that what I was doing was a waste of time. He consistently asked questions and he tried to make me falter, but I kept calm because the things I told him are true. The gospel is true! He stated that everybody tries to understand the truth, but nobody actually does. I felt so bad for him, I was not angry at all, just sad about his lack of knowledge.
His final words to me were," nobody will ever listen to anything that you have to say."(obviously false!) My departing words to him were, " All I can do is try."
We are not expected to be perfect, but we are expected to try our best. I know the truth, and I am grateful that I do. That is why I am in London.
Love,
Elder Resolme
P.S. I got a blast from the past on Sunday. As I was walking through the church during singles, I saw someone who looked a little familiar?! San Diego familiar! I will post a picture of who it is later.
To that person: I KNOW YOU ARE READING THIS, I WILL BE CALLING YOU IN A COUPLE OF DAYS!
