Well everyone... the time has about come! My mission here in the U.K. is coming to an end. But it's been great! I'll forever be grateful for my mission and everyone I've met here. It's changed my life forever. 

This past week we were able to see our friend, Lee, get baptized. It was one of the best experiences of my whole mission, and I'm super grateful to have been able to be there for it. Lee has been such a great example of humility and faith to me. He told us recently that he had met missionaries on the streets a few years ago but had lost contact soon after. He wanted to get in touch with them again,  but he wasn't sure how to go about it. Then a few months ago he saw a missionary ad on Facebook and requested to meet with the missionaries. Elder Bachelder and I met with him last transfer, and he was just looking for a church to join, and he wanted to get baptized. After transfers, Elder Holt and I were able to start teaching him the lessons. We taught all the lessons, he was interviewed, and then baptized this last Saturday. 

It was a testimony to me that God is preparing people to receive the gospel. I'm just super happy for him, and I can't wait to see how he continues to progress in the gospel. 

God is good! Thank you all for your support! I love you all! I know that God lives and that this is His work, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity that I've had to serve Him here in "the green and pleasant land". Speak to you all soon!

- Xin, a lady who Elder Tang and I taught in Cardiff awhile back was also baptized this last Saturday. She had been searching for truth for a long time, so it was great to hear that she had chosen to be baptized and follow Jesus Christ.
- Elder Holt and I also taught the husband of a lady in our ward. He's not a member of the church, but was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. He really wants to know now what the gospel is all about and wants to be sealed to His wife. I'm excited to hear how his journey goes.
