#Hallelujah

Hiya!! Yalrigh?

Well what a crazy crazy week this has been. On Tuesday, I poured out my heart to God and asked Him to bless our area. We had a rocky start but then the blessings really poured in. We are working with 3 new investigators and one of them is on date to be baptised. we were also able to see SO many less actives this week that we weren't able to see last week.  Actually some of them we weren't expecting to get in and then they welcomed us in and we were able to have a lesson!  That was a huge miracle! AND we finally saw S-- and R--- again! They are still interested!! oh what a blessing that is. God is so so good.

The new people we are working with are V-, C-, and M-. 

V- is from England but she loves India. Her house is like walking into an Indian Palace haha. It is draped with silk drapes and jewels and there are elephant statues everywhere. It is so cool! We met V- in my first transfer in Romford. We tracted into her and she said we could pop by and see her again. We tried a couple of times to see her but she was never home. Then this week we found out that the flat number we were knocking on was the man that she is a carer for and she actually lives a couple flights below. So we went to see her and she invited us in! She is christian and is open to learn about other religions. We shared the #HALLELUJAH video with her and she loved it! We are seeing her again on Wednesday and she is also planning to come to the Easter Musical fireside. :)

C- is also English.  She loves to sing and play the piano (sounds familiar right!). Her Mum is having some health problems right now. We were able to comfort her and testify to her of God's love. we said a prayer with her on the street and are hoping to see her this week.

M- We met her about a month ago at a bus stop for about 2 minutes and we gave her a card. She texted us this week and wanted to meet up! We met with her, taught her about the restoration and invited her to come to church. Right now she is on date for baptism on April 16. Please pray for her to make that.

God is so good!

I am so excited for Easter! Transfers are next week so email will come on Tuesday. :)

Romford has a new Young Women's President so we go to Relief Society now. And hopefully they are calling a Ward mission leader soon as well :).

An insight I had: In Relief Society the lesson was on the Atonement. The Teacher, the wonderful Lisa Harper, had us close our eyes and imagine being with the Saviour at each moment of the atonement (gethsemane, the roman whipping, and calvary). When I pictured the Saviour being whipped and me just standing their watching, I wanted to throw myself in between him and the whip. I wanted to shield him from the punishment. and protect him from the pain by putting myself in front of him. 

But then I realised. It was not His whipping. It was mine, and he had done exactly what I wanted to do for him. He put himself between me and the whip. He shields me, puts his arms around me to stop me from recieving the punishment. Thats what the scriptures mean when they say that Christ stands betwixt us and justice. He has paid the whole price and felt the whole punishment so that we do not have to. and the only thing he asks us to do is to love Him forever. To love Him and show Him our love by keeping His commandments and repenting when we mess up.  

I love Elder Holland's talk 'Where justice love and Mercy meet' here is a quote from that: 

'This Easter I thank Him and the Father, who gave Him to us, that Jesus still stands triumphant over death, although He stands on wounded feet. This Easter I thank Him and the Father, who gave Him to us, that He still extends unending grace, although He extends it with pierced palms and scarred wrists. This Easter I thank Him and the Father, who gave Him to us, that we can sing before a sweat-stained garden, a nail-driven cross, and a gloriously empty tomb:

'How great, how glorious, how complete

Redemption’s grand design,

Where justice, love, and mercy meet

In harmony divine!^{11 '}

#Hallelujah that Jesus Christ came for us! That we will all live again! That Every fall and every mistake will end in victory. Because of Jesus Christ.  A final thought from Romans 8:

'' 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be comparedwith the glory which shall be revealed in us.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.''

I love you! God bless you!
