Dear Family,
From what I read, Looks like everything back home is going good! That is great. A couple days ago James Alexander Short O'Donnell got baptized! We have loved meeting with him and watching him progress. He is the nicest person I have met here in London so far. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet with him over the past couple of months. When he got baptized, I was overcome with the spirit. I knew then that another one of Heavenly fathers children returned back into the fold.
The family that had been fellow shipping Jim lives in Utah, but they flew over for the weekend for the baptism. The Wright family are a great example of what it means to be forever missionaries. Missionary work does not begin when we get our call, nor does it end when we finish our mission. It starts when we receive our testimony and ends when the great Jehovah shall say the work is finished. After the baptism we all gathered and had dinner. I had the opportunity to give the toast. I would have been more comfortable giving a talk/prayer, but having the opportunity to give the toast was memorable. I love my mission. I will tell you more in my letter. I now love Indian food.
This past week we also had zone conference. One of the things that I will never forget from the conference was said by one of the missionaries. He said," A mission is not a sacrifice, it is preparation for the eternity." There have been tough times in my mission, but I know that this experience will help me in the eternities.
Happy Valentines Day.
Thanks Shupe Family for the Card/Sweets. I totally forgot about this day.
Love,
Elder Resolme
