Carlisle

Hola los Amigos y amigas!

How are you all doing! I hope really well. I am so excited to be emailing you from the green and pleasant land of England. I am now serving in a new area called Carlisle! It is just a shade off of Scotland. So I am about as close to Scotland as I can get and boy is it beautiful! We took the train ride up here last week. We got to go through what's called the Lake district. It is a beautiful part of the country. It is a lot different from Manchester but I still enjoy it all the same.

I am serving with a mission from the country of Guyana. Now if you are like me you don't have a clue where in the world that is at. It is an island in the Carribean just North of Brazil. He is a convert to the church. His family was baptised by who is now a bishop down in Rhyl. So it is great to be serving with him. I already love him and know we are meant to be serving with each other at this time. He has such a powerful testimony and it has touched me.

On Tuesday we got the opportunity to go to the temple. Wow It was such a powerful experience. We went to the baptisty and did our own family names. Elder Singh got baptised for his grandfather and I have to say I know staright away he accepted the gospel the room was filled with the spirit. Then I was baptised for about 20 of my ancestors. There is no greater feeling in the world than to help someone into the kingdom of God. Throughout my mission I have seen forces on both sides of the veil helping us out. I know that my ancestors have helped us to find those that we covenanted to meet before this life. I stand as one of Christ's set apart servants that he does lead and guide this church.

Sorry I don't have much to say this week. But know that I love each one of you and am so proud for helping me :)

Love Elder Hammond
