Truth Will Prevail: I was not there in Bethlehem to hear the angels sing

Hiya!
It was a singing sort of week :). We sang in town centre and gave out
flyers for the choir concert twice. We had someone walk up and ask for
a Book of Mormon. Which was cool:). We had some members come the second
time and it was so so fun. On Sunday, we had the concert. I sang the
Shepherds Carol from the Forgotten Carols. That was fun. I walked up
too soon haha and the audience laughed. It was all good thing. I also
had been fasting and had drunk so so much water before the concert
which was a huge mistake.... I really needed to use the toilet the
WHOLE concert. It was a miracle I made it through haha.
The Mayor and Mayoress of Havering came to the concert and wanted to
chat with me and the other soloists after the concert. The Mayor invited me to enjoy all the pubs in the area and I said that we don't go to pubs. He said that if I haven't gone to the pubs night life I haven't experienced the culture of England. Hahaha. He also told me why Havering is called Havering (pronounced: haven-ring) there was king Edward the confessor he had been out hunting and had no money. A beggar asked him for money, so he said here 'have a ring'. Havering. Ba doom psh :).

( The gold ring recalls that, which according to a legend dating back to the twelf^th century, Edward the Confessor gave as alms to an old beggar, while attending the consecration of a church dedicated to St. John. However it is not until later that the name Havering is connected with the legend, in a version appearing in a chronicle dated circa 1436. The beggar was St. John in disguise, and he latter returned the ring the King, with the message he should 'dispose of his goods, for within six months he shall be in the joy of heaven with me, when he shall have his reward for his chastity and good living'. The legend led to the erroneous belief that the name Havering was derived from the words 'have ring' uttered by the King, the legend gained so much credence that it is depicted in sculptures in Westminster Abbey and Ludlow Church. There is no contemporary record connecting the Confessor with Havering, but the legend strengthens the probability that he was the predecessor of Earl (later King) Harold who held the Manor of Havering. The Confessor's and the other Saxon king's links with area are recalled by the Saxon crown.)http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Romford

I went on exchange with Sister Fenu and that was really really good
for me. She served In Romford at the beginning of her mission. She was
able to help me make a game plan for the area. I also met with the
Bishop's counselour and set up a weekly correlation with him.
I'm also organising a young men and young women's Christmas party for
them to invite their friends to. We only had two young women at church
on Sunday and two young men. There are 12 less active youth and
families that I hope to activate with their families. Sacrament
meeting was quite small, but the members have great faith.
A young man, L-- was baptised in Ilford on Saturday but he
moved to Romford so he was confirmed in Romford on Sunday. His spirit
is so strong.
Please watch the new Christmas film #asaviourisborn and the
second video 'Why We Need a Saviour' at Christmas.mormon.org. It is
powerful.

I love you!!!
