Hello family and friends!!!
This week was great!!!! We met with our friend Charlotte and she asked us to dedicate her home. So her home is now dedicated and she says she feels better! So that is great! She still wants to be baptised and her fiancé and her have a marriage date!!! She said it is somewhere after Christmas. She hasn’t told her mom yet so she didn’t feel comfortable telling it to us which is reasonable. But she said it’s not too soon but not too far.
Also, Debora got to speak at a fireside!!! She was amazing. I almost cried. She just has been through so much and the gospel has changed her significantly. She lived in a very tribal part of Namibia where her parents weren’t Christian but believed in holy fire that they talked to and they could talk to their forefathers. So she wasn’t allowed to go to church but she believed in God. But now she is in England and met with Missionaries!
Also, an answer to prayers is real!!! So we were supposed to help a member with a poppy apple stall in the Wigan market but Sister Terry got really sick. So we had to cancel:( But the member was very overwhelmed and prayed that the Lord could give her help. She started talking to a returning member named Sonya and she helped her! Not just for that day, but for the rest of the week!!! Sonya wants to come to church again and this Sunday she did! She not only came to church but she brought a nonmember friend named Shane! He wants to come to church as well and he wants to change his life!
Last but not least.... I finished the Book of Mormon this week!!! Seriously this book has so much power. President McReynolds spoke at the fireside where Debora bore her testimony and he said that the most incredible thing about the Book of Mormon is not its miraculous translation, but the spirit of the word of God inside it. Whenever I read it, my testimony grows and it really gives me the motivation to do the work I do.
I love you all!!!
Sister Sever
mom note: I asked her about how Halloween was celebrated in England, and if anyone was aware that it was also her birthday...this was her reply:)
Uuummmmm a few members knew. The relief society president found out and invited us over for lunch and gave me a cake and some flowers haha. I think she posted it on Facebook somewhere so I will find pictures and send them. Then the best thing in the world happened!!! Our baptism!!! Mohammad was baptised and confirmed this week. Baptism on my birthday! It was seriously such a spiritual baptism. After so long, he is finally a member of the church on record! He seriously has the strongest testimony ever. British Halloween is kinda... lame. Well it is getting bigger haha. Not many people go out trick or treating. Then there is a tradition the day before called mischief day where chaps walk around with eggs and flour and then throw them at people. Nothing happened to us but we were warned about it.
