"Our promised blessings are beyond measure.  Though storm clouds may gather, through the rains may poor down upon us, our knowledge of the gospel and our love of our Heavenly Father and of our Saviour will comfort and sustain us...as we walk uprightly...there will be nothing in this world that can defeat us." - President Thomas S. Monson Perfect description of our week. Lots of rain, lots of storm clouds, lots of walking, and lots of blessings. First, let me introduce you to my second daughter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'll love this, on the first day Sister Uttamakul and I cleared tree branches with a couple of members, bishop, and stake president. Bishop told us about a family who has a son that is turning eight and getting baptised at the end of July. Apparently his dad is not baptised but has been to church a bunch. Well bishop challenged the dad to get baptised and actually said if the dad was baptised before the son, then bishop would ordain him ...

So you know those days when you don't even have time to put your hair in a ponytail?  Yeah we had like 3 of those in a row.  So it's a wonder only one eye is twitching instead of two.  #Godisgood. Okay okay okay FIRST OFF is Elder D. Todd Christofferson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!  Wowza that was FANTASTIC!!!  And I got to see all my dear dear friends in the mission.  There are absolutely stellar people that I have met here.  I got to conduct the music and my goodness that was such a special opportunity.  So picture 200 missionaries singing at you with full force.  It's like when you get in the car after Jake has driven and the volume of the radio is at a nice 54.  I think I got blown back 7 inches.  Ask Elder Christofferson if you want a second witness.  (Sister Cobabe is reading this next to me and says, "Well they'll probably see them cuz ya know, salt lake")   but it was so amazing!!!!!!!  We sang our mission ...

Wow I can't believe we get to go to the temple!!!!!  WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!  And it is so good to travel through Finsbury Park and Ilford.

English summer has kicked  in and it has rained nearly every day. Sometimes rain is odd here though. It mists instead of rains.  And you can't feel yourself getting hit with the rain, but you get wetter and wetter as you walk.  Super strange. I think instead of raining it is just a giant cloud descending on England.  Sister Lam and I saw Nora that day too! She is getting so deep into the church it's awesome!!  She has been to church for the past 3 Sundays :). Only problem is she has had to go to Stevenage  for two because it is a lot closer to ...
