Week 20: Transfers & Training


Hey y'all

Hope everyone has had a great couple weeks. Life here in London is pretty much the same... except we have transfers this week!!! Wow, time goes by so fast when you are hard at work, having fun and helping others. 

Ok, so transfers. Sadly Sister Li, my comp from China, is leaving! We have had so much fun together and I could never thank her enough for how much she has taught me and how patient she is with me. I will miss her but i know she will do so well and bless the lives up in northern London. 

I haven't met my new comp yet, her name is Sister Klineart. She is from Germany and loves to cook so that's exciting! I hope she likes sourdough ; ) 
I will be the senior comp and follow up trainer so everyone pray for me as we both strive to do our best to serve the people in Hyde Park. 

This week we taught 3 new people in our area, all from different parts of the world. 
Elvis from Africa, Leon from Scotland and a Londoner that goes by the name of Travis. All of them are eager to learn more about the Book of Mormon. One in particular taught me a principal. As we were teaching Leon about the restoration he pointed out that it just made so much sense that we needed a restoration!! He said he could feel the spirit teaching him and I can say I felt it too. 

In 3 Nephi 18:20 Jesus Christ tells us
"And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you." 

We had been praying to be led to someone who was prepared for the gospel. 
Sometimes we need to get down on our knees and ask. If you do I truly believe that you will receive. But ask in faith and humility with all pride aside. It works the same with gaining witness of the truth. In Ether 12:6 he teaches us that we will gain our witness after the trial of our faith. 

This week I know that Heavenly Father loves us! We are not alone in our efforts. He's there every step of the way. 

Below are pictures of our friends in Liberia. I wanted to give you an update. They have had a very hard time finding food for their families (Corona has made their economy even worse than it was already), someone in America sent money and their whole village was able to have food for a month. Aren't they a beautiful people. God watches over his people. 

We have started baking 10 loaves of bread at once, it is so fun. The gospel of Jesus Christ is true to save. Let Him save you. 

Love from London,
Sister Levie

P.S. I know that I am supposed to be here in London right here and now. It's where I'm supposed to be. 








For my mom!

Week 17: Rainbows & Prayers

May 4th 2020 Week 17: Rainbows & Prayers Hello family This week I hit 4 months on the mission! Wow!  In some ways I feel like it's been a life time and in others ways has flown by. I think I've learned more about the gospel these past 4 months than I have throughout my entire life. It's been crazy and I've loved every second! We had some really incredible lessons this week, hearts being softened and allowing the savior to enter. It is such a privilege to share the message of the atonement and then to watch it work in people's lives. There is nothing more powerful or meaningful and I am so grateful that I get to be out here sharing the love! London rain is back!! and this was not just any rain, we got poured on and drenched and to the bone!! But we enjoyed it.  We had a fanatic lesson with Phumlani, my friend from Africa. He was wondering if God really heard his prayers because sometimes he didn't feel like it. He felt like He had gone too far and couldn'

Week 34: "Come again??" and Spiritual Gifts

August 31st Week 34: "Come again??" and Spiritual Gifts   Well Hello Family!  Transfers!! We will get to the transfer calls later. This week we had our FIRST Sunday service at the chapel! Have you started? It was so nice to meet some of the members face to face and bring some of our friends that we are teaching. It's so crazy to think that 30 people is referred to as a big crowd. Haha, yeah... we don't get out much ; ) Speaking of, online work has been fantastic! We just invited our friend Rodgers from Uganda to be baptised and he said YES!! Then he said "I was wondering when you were going to ask me, what took you so long?" It's amazing how people come alive when they hear the gospel, it makes such a big difference in people's lives. Funny fact. When the connection is really bad in Africa and we can't hear them very well, all we hear from the phone is "Come again". They also say please after everything. Ex "Thank you so so much pl

Week 75: Hello From London

June 14th 2021 Week 75 Hello from London England Since I last wrote I have had two companions, Sister Milone from France, and now I have been transferred to a new area and my companion is Sister Rodriguez from Spain. I am back in Hyde Park and I love it. In the last few weeks we’ve been able to see many of the sights of London: the Natural History Museum, Piccadilly Square, Big Ben, China Town, and The London Eye. Although we enjoyed ourselves, the greatest highlight of the last little bit has been being able to street contact again! As a mission, after being in lock down for 16 months, we can now contact people on the street. We call it “Hiya time” where we just say hello to people, we ask them questions about their day and hold our books of mormon. This disarms most Londoners because they don’t typically say hello to strangers.  One day we had prayed specifically to find one person who needed God that day. We had half an hour and as we made our way up to Hyde park we found a man name
